> 
> **Pros**: Once deployed the software is reliable and incredibly easy to use providing detailed insight into OEE and downtime reasons.

### "Moakley" — 4.0/5

> **Mark** | *8 March 2023* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I think how it can adapt to any machine or production line is fantastic and overcome the IT red tape you typically see within organizations
> 
> **Cons**: When using batches I would like the system to change the downtime trigger. We often get caught out by this and as a result do not capture all the stoppages.
> 
> I think its a great system and seen some good improvements from the data it collects. Andon call can be very powerful.
