The intuitive design of CIXO Skeleton, makes it easy for the user to hit the ground running when using it. A key component during implementation will be a good representation of the actual way the manufacturing system should work.

A basic requirement for a successful implementation of CIXO Skeleton is a clear set of rules specified for every area within the manufacturing system. CIXO Skeleton’s implementation process will provide you with a basic framework that will allow any company to detect inconsistent sets of rules, forcing the company to clarify which ones should be eliminated, clarified, or modified, in such a way that a very consistent set of rules will prevail, facilitating the system to work smoothly.

If assistance is required to guide this process an expert can be assigned for support during the CIXO Skeleton implementation phase.

The key for CIXO Skeleton operation is the follow up of what we know as “Monitored Node”, or MN. A MN is any unit to be reported, either individually, which is the lowest level reporting entity, such as a single machine or a single production line; or as an aggregate entity, such as a department, cell, area, or division, each of them containing groups of lower level MNs.

At the end of a shift, reports will be generated per every MN (machine, cell, line, group, area, department, division) within the manufacturing system, resembling the way a company is structured.

CIXO Skeleton will provide timely alerts when any operational issues arise, in such a way that key agents can be called to assist and correct any deviations. CIXO Skeleton prompts for action all levels in the managerial ladder starting with the rank and file, all the way up to plant director, in a predefined fashion and according to the type of problem faced.

If after the event, system performance fell short of a good response, the system includes an action item register which keeps track of all actions triggered during, and after, the event and helps the team to converge on containing, mitigating, preventing, and corrective actions, and it also can evaluate the impact of those actions.

Finally, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the team (creativity, resolution, discipline), both as a group and individually can be made through a review of the action register and the consequences of each action.

CIXO Skeleton charges based on MNs within the system, every MN included in CIXO Skeleton can be associated to 3 users each, and bundles of 5 MNs, each MN associated with as much as 3 users will be charged $8,000 per annum, 50% paid annually and 50% paid monthly. If a given MN requires more than 3 users, every additional user will be charged $50 monthly.

CIXO Skeleton works in the cloud in an AWS platform which is completely locked and protected by AWS technical capabilities against hackers. AWS will be our provider in internet security.

Clients are owners of their information and reports, and nobody else has access to any company’s information.

Clients will have the option to erase their data at will, or download all data they have input to the system to their own databases. After a grace period, the system will automatically erase all information of any client not renewing their services.
