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.

Nothing. Everything related with Pinpoint is great: improves quality, productivity, reduces downtime, more confident to operator and whole staff

overall, is a good product. im able to create, modify operations, create and link input source tools to create stations, new version 5.11 allows me to pull up torque data much quicker.

Pros

new features on the 5.11 allow me to pull up data much quicker and accessing smart build is faster

Cons

this is out of your control, the way we log in now on the 5.11 using our email address instead of our CWS it take a bit longer logging in.

PinPoint is known for its efficiency and user-friendly interface, making it a valuable tool for various tasks.

Pros

User-friendly design is crucial for enhancing the overall experience and ensuring satisfaction

Cons

If you're experiencing slow performance at times, it could be due to several factors such as a high system load, insufficient memory, or network issues. It might help to close unused applications, clear cache, or restart your device to improve speed. If the problem persists, consider checking for updates or optimizing your system settings.
