Pros:

[sensitive content hidden] and the team from PINpoint have been working with us for over 15 years. The product has enabled our manufacturing team to build quality into the product, especially with the integration of Atlas Copco torque tools. Operators and operations leadership can readily understand if we are running ahead or behind plan for each operation of each part being produced. Fantastic system!

Cons:

In the beginning, it did take a bit of time for our manufacturing site to grab hold of the capabilities within PINpoint so that we could leverage the capabilities to full advantage. However, the PINpoint team was always there to support us.

Reasons for choosing PINpoint MES

Ease of integration and functionality with the torque tooling.

Thanks for the feedback Randy. Really appreciate all the details and kind words. We have truly enjoyed our partnership for the past 15 years!

Pros:

I really like how it works with KEPWARE. I also like how you can configure the hardware. The reports and relationships as well as the user management is very nice. I also like the and on aspect. Being able to send messages and quality alert to each individual station as well as being able to decide who can work where are great features.

Cons:

Not like the difficulty of the building flow and making changes on it. I also wish I could use an ethernet best I/O module like a phoenix connector without having to have a PLC. Using a smart arm does not work very well when everything is server based. Subscribing and unsubscribing to each tool for every individual tightening on a single step Really slows down the entire system. Overall the network traffic is too much which makes everything very slow.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, we are always keen to hear our customers experience on the functionality and ease of use of PINpoint MES & Andon system software. In our latest V5 software we've built on the pros you list to make an even more powerful error-proofing and business intelligence solution that's essential for any manufacturer to improve quality and efficiency. In reply to your concerns we assume your reference to the build page is our SmartBuild app; it's very likely you're using the old build page (V4.x) which doesn't have improvements now included in V5 making it easier to manage assembly line changes from the cloud. The I/O module comment is not relating to PINpoint and the smart arm comment is unclear - we have not had to improve the way we interface with smart arms. Lastly, according to our Engineering team the system should never be slowing so the cause may be something that's particular to your network or specific tools you're using. Please contact us for 24/7 support.

When I have issues to resolve, everyone I have ever spoken to at PINpoint is helpful and knowledgeable. I like everyone there. Ayush was particularly helpful in our recent software upgrade from 5.8 to 5.11. We had a small glitch and he resolved it quickly so we could move forward.

Pros:

I enjoy the overall look and feel of PINpoint. I like the wide range of reports on the machines we build in PINpoint.

Cons:

I would like to have the option to edit the serial number on the reports and make notes about the edit. This would be helpful when we have line-load changes, and the part goes on a different SN that originally intended. This could even be an option for a factory to choose whether they want it or not.
