Even today, many manufacturing companies manually collect information on the production and downtime, using collection systems based on spreadsheets or data records on paper. This methodology is not only outdated and requires an enormous effort and intense, but also, inaccurate registration implies that the data are not entirely reliable. What good is the heads of production have information that is not only incorrect but in most cases is inconsistent with other sources of information? The delays in transcription and report generation represent a loss of valuable time production, as the corrective actions are undertaken much later than the fact happen.

Competition each day is more demanding and has no contemplations: consumers buy the seller offered the best price or service. Manufacturers must adapt quickly to fluctuations in demand, the availability and price of raw materials, and adopt new strategies for maintenance. All this implies that the facility could lose more than 40% of the productive capacity as a result of downtime on equipment, with a capacity slower process, quality problems and multiple internal and external influences.
