### "Great OEE solution"

March 1, 2018

5.0

We get detailed and accurate information about our equipment operation, downtime, and plant trends. It helps make business decisions and focus improvement teams.

Pros

We use this as an OEE solution on plant production lines. We have large screens on the wall with dashboard information carrying real time info. It's fairly easy to use once configured. It's not going to improve OEE for you unless you use the data to manage your process. It's important that many people know what the data is, where it comes from, what it means. It's even more important that a few key users dig into the data on a regular basis to identify trends and opportunities in the business.

Cons

Not much to dislike. When configured well, the only thing to dislike is the lack of time available to explore the data it presents about your operation.

### "TrakSYS is a powerful MOM software"

March 1, 2018

5.0

With the use of TrakSYS I have increased my knowledge of manufacturing processes, in addition to achieving satisfied customers because they speed up and reduce their tasks, effort and improve the decision making opportunities or tying problems that arise in your company and all thanks to the use of TrakSYS in their companies.

Pros

it is capable of being a highly vital tool because its agility and configurability can be adapted to any manufacturing sector and provide important KPIs, is able to adapt to many web browsers and also with a very good translation system. The software is well structured, it also has a very secure process for updating project configurations.

Cons

it lacks an embedded tool to prepare PDF reports, a dashboard printing functionality, and increase the catalog of graphics, such as Radar, Radial and Gauss type.

### "Help our customers customize, maintain, update, or change their TrakSYS system"

March 28, 2018

2.0

Pros

The system is practically infinitely configurable, which allows an experience user to be very powerful when designing a system. A well planned and achitected system can be immensely powerful.

Cons

The product is not very intuitive as to how a specific system is configured. A large amount of time is needed to familiarize a system with its architecture. Debugging issues can also be incredibly difficult. When large numbers of machines/alarm lists/downtime reasons/etc. need to be added, the system does not scale very well with the web-based interface.

Response from Parsec Automation

March 29, 2018

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your comments regarding the challenge of configuring TrakSYS for a specific system. Each factory is unique, and we made TrakSYS flexible enough to tackle virtually any manufacturing challenge, while still making it as simple as possible to use. To be sure, implementing a TrakSYS solution is not something you just jump into, but once you get the hang of it, TrakSYS is actually quite intuitive. (That's what our long-term users tell us anyway!) Why don't you join us for one of our training classes? We hold them every six weeks at our headquarters. Check out our website for the schedule. Or, if you have specific questions, you can reach out to our support team through our website.

### "Great tool for Manufacturing Intelligence projects"

March 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

Flexibility to adapt the tool to all kind of solutions as the C# language integration gives you a lot of development power for example. Great database structure.

Cons

The learning curve could be high depending on the solution complexity as several programming languages (C#, ASP .NET, HTML, ...) are needed.

### "my work experience in several industries has been important for my development"

April 5, 2018

5.0

That I have learned a lot and from several manufacturing issues since it is required for specific developments such as downtime and spc.

Pros

that can be developed by modules or a complete integration that is easy to use and connect with data communication devices and connection with external systems, has flexibility for developments in different companies.

Cons

that sometimes does not allow to add styles in the designs made for exclusive plants and that there are parts that do not allow to add configurations required by the company in which it is developing as are the graphics and that sometimes does not take the colors correctly .

### "Best-in-class MES that delivers significant out-of-box functionality within one extensible fplatform"

March 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

TrakSYS supports multiple MES functions within a single platform built from the ground up. TrakSYS allows manufacturers to start small and yet provides a platform that supports their growth and continuous improvement journey. It works well with existing systems and does not force manufacturers to rip and replace while still providing a platform to migrate their legacy systems when ready.

### "I am project team lead implementing across an entire business "

March 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

Configuration flexibility when the different sites have different control systems, processes and user needs Graphical capabilities are impressive

Cons

Interaction with other platforms like excel, debases, SAP is not always very smooth. But I know that is probably difficult given all the variables involved

### "This software is a very flexible, easy-to-use solution for both small and big manufacturers."

March 16, 2018

5.0

Performance improvement, data collection, scrap reduction, ...

Pros

TrakSYS is a complete system that just need small configurations to adapt to all needs. Based on web technologies can be accessed anywhere, it can collect data from all over the world and can easily manage them to prepare reports and dashboards that help companies to improve their performances and reduce their scrap.

Cons

Sometimes both in configuration and during normal usage, browsing the application is not immediate because it requires too many clicks.

### "I provide basic demos of the software to manufacturers who collect OEE and QC information manually"

April 25, 2018

5.0

OEE measurement is accurate

Pros

Very nice operator screens, dashboards and reports. Version 10 looks nice and clean Full of all MES functionality, not just OEE going paperless is a must - for QC, ie, connect your weighscales and speed up this task

Cons

Custom reports may take time to construct. There are not many system integrators, normally one per country That's about all, its a really good product

### "TrakSYS have provided DuPont with an efficient tool for tracking and measuring TEEP/OEE"

March 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

Parsec has provided excellent support for DuPont as we implement TrakSYS at many plant sites. The TrakSYS software has been updated and upgraded to meet customer needs.

Cons

The Parsec TrakSYS training provides a good general overview of the software. Training that is more specific to plant requirements and usage would be beneficial.

### "TrakSYS For OEE"

May 10, 2019

5.0

We are using TrakSYS to track OEE on our lines and we will be implementing many of the other features of TrakSYS in the next phases of our development.

Pros

The software is very easy to use. The "out of the box" components work great for a display of current KPIs.

Cons

Customization requires extensive knowledge in scripting. Unfortunately, my company uses a different calculation for OEE and will require a lot of customization.

### "Good software with a lot of functionality"

March 30, 2018

4.0

Still learning since I am new to this TrakSYS role with Dupont.

Pros

Relatively easy to configure for different options to understand what is happening within your process.

Cons

The software is more set up for discrete systems. It is not as easy to use for continuous or batch processes and nothing like this is covered in the training.

### "TrakSYS - Une plate-forme puissante pour des opérations de fabrication efficaces."

July 23, 2023

5.0

Pros

Fonctionnalité prête à l'emploi : TrakSYS offre une fonctionnalité prête à l'emploi pour des solutions clés telles que l'efficacité globale de l'équipement (OEE), le contrôle statistique des processus (SPC), la gestion des lots, etc.Cela signifie que vous pouvez rapidement mettre en œuvre et commencer à utiliser TrakSYS sans avoir besoin d'une personnalisation ou d'un développement approfondi.

Cons

Performances lentes, Clics excessifs, Support médiocre.

Reason for choosing TrakSYS

### "TrakSYS V10: OEE Software"

May 10, 2019

5.0

If and only if, the data is true and clean, TrakSYS can perform and provide information to make informed decisions with the experts in the office and on the plant floor. This is invaluable information to any organization for proper Maintenance and Quality control to keep the process flow in check. It can also serve as a 'measuring tool' to provide feedback for Quality rejects, as an example, to show if any Lean Six Sigma implementation has been successful with reduction of waste. Just like in most systems, it does require a dedicated staff to implement and continually improve dashboards, theoritical rates, and the like to maintain clean & noise-free outputed information. Ultimately, this software has a learning curve but nothing short of producing the results that we initially set out for.

Pros

It allows our Ops, Maintenance and QC folks to see real-time data and make adjustments where necessary. Creating & filtering reports is a snap and very intuitive once you get into the drivers seat more than once. The big 5-Star rating comes with the Dashboards that you can create, navigate and select to view data numbers, events, faults and alarms. If designed properly, this system can catapult any organization with data to information to knowledge. That is the true power of TrakSYS V10.

Cons

With all the securities that we have in our plant we can no longer use the email option like we did in V8R2 to send daily reports. This is because we have set up our groups inside our network. Not a deal breaker, but something that we would like to see updated/revised in future versions.

### "TrakSYS is a modern, flexible MES with good out of the box value and the ability to easily expand."

March 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

For OEE, users can quickly and inexpensively get running. With features like SPC, Task Management, Work Order Management and a time series Historian TrakSYS allows you to expand and run your entire operation.

Cons

The licensing model is overly complex. However, the licensing model does result in high value. Partners help navigate and make it simpler.

### "We have supplied TrakSYS to customers for many years - they have all benefited"

March 2, 2018

5.0

It is the best tool for us to inform our customers about their OEE and highlight the real reason they aren't performing to the maximum potential in their process.

Pros

Simple, straightforward install and out-of-the-box functionality. Endlessly extendable and flexible to meet requirements accurately. Dramatic and dynamic presentation of user-interface, which in TrakSYS X has taken a massive leap forwards. A great, solid, powerful back-end and a clean modern front-end.

Cons

It is not easy to get on board with the entry level pricing. There is a major obstacle to smaller customers wishing to get the benefits available but not able to justify the initial outlay spend. A new model for licensing would resolve this.

### "TrakSYS is a highly Customizible web interface. Can do nearly anything with the right configuration"

March 1, 2018

5.0

This software allows me to meet the needs of many customers, especially those with more specific not MES OEE needs.

Pros

The extensible model of the software packages. The interface is extremely clean and customer service is top notch.

Cons

The answer when asking IF the software CAN do something the Answer is nearly always yes. this can learn to more than normal configuration necessary to accomplish more custom implementations.

### "Sturdy"

April 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

Pretty solid connectivity to the PLC layer. The software has incredible customizability. It can be customized to the vendors requirements with relative ease. I also like the ease with which it can adjust itself to different screen types by itself. The software has in-built functionality which allows itself to modify the screen based on the device it runs on, without any intervention from the developers.

Cons

Wish there were more than one language that could be used for writing custom scripts. Right now, you need to be proficient with C# to be able to write custom scripts. I hope that in future they will consider including options to select the language that you want to code in.

### "Great Platform, but opportunity for More Out of the Box Content"

April 26, 2019

3.0

TrakSYS has actually opened up a new career for me and enabled me to use my operations management skills to help other manufacturers.

Pros

TrakSYS is a great platform that enables never ending possibilities. It is great as a learner for programming as one can ease their way into it. Lastly, it is great for non-programmers to continue to edit and change their KPI's and reports as a part of their CI efforts.

Cons

Some of the out of the box content is really narrow in use requiring more efforts to set up than if making other pages. Otherwise it is a great platform.

### "Great rapid prototyping. Much nicer to use with improved documentation."

April 2, 2018

3.0

Fast and easy to use.

Pros

Great to have a solid API for large data entry. The database and configuration utilities are the main strength of this application.

Cons

Web interface is slow. It could use a lot of improvement to keep more operations client side. We know that after making certain changes, the logic service must be restarted. Why not automatically detect and prompt to restart? To maintain the option 'not now' might be necessary. Possibly some sort of dirty flag to visually indicate that the logic service needed to be restarted. OPC-UA support should be a great improvement over current OPC support.

### "Very nice product, quite complete. Good company "

March 6, 2018

4.0

Visibility on, and insight in, the performance of our production lines, in context to product, order, formula, cost

Pros

I especially like the graphical user interface of the product. It is very powerful and does not require any compilation to deploy.

Cons

I believe the product would benefit from a good BPMN engine to configure and execute workflows within the product. This would transform the product into a real complete MES solution.
