From the Team

Danylo Prokopiv
Chief Product Officer

   
 

What an exciting and busy time we’ve had since the release of LYNQ 2016 R2.  The team are very proud to have worked on the LYNQ 2019 R1 release and we are looking forward to seeing the customer experience team roll this software out to existing and new customers. 

The headline features have been for me the official release of Factory Automation.  What a great project to be part of and how critical is this functionality in our era of Industry 4.  Whether you are a small, medium or a large sized manufacturer, our solution provides everything you need to digitise your factory.  We’ve included in this release a Factory Automation Guide to explain how we recognise automation in LYNQ.  We are here and ready to provide you with a demonstration of this functionality, if you are interested in this feature.  Click here to book a demonstration.

Another headline feature in the 2019 R1 release is the ability to see a monentary value of loss in the Loss Management report for your factory.  I believe your management teams will really appreciate this effective enhancement. 

For supervisors we’ve made the ability to perform events much easier than before.  Events are no longer scheduled events but actions.  Actions can be scheduled or run manually from various screens in LYNQ.  Turning off all equipment or clocking all users out can now be completed in 2 mouse clicks!  What an improvement on the older versions of LYNQ.

I cannot comment on all changes but hopefully this gives you a glimpse of what there is to come.
