- Basic parts of a production rate data collection system
- Sensor counting finished products
- Computer reading the sensor and calculating products per minute
- Database for the computer to store the products per minute values
- Intranet server for reading the database and serving applet pages
- Applet for displaying the products per minute in a browser
After these basic parts are in place more complex processes such as analytics, feedback controls, and inventory tracking can be added.
