Hi Everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster
I've worked in several manufacturing environments and used cycle times to calculate costs and justify equipment, process changes etc. Those cycle times are usually in the range of seconds or minutes. Now I work in a fab shop where the cycle times are often in hours. I can't stand around for hours with a stopwatch in my hand, not even if I tried.
Have any of you used cameras to record process and document cycle times? I have a couple of Hubble baby-monitor-type cameras. Unfortunately, they aren't really capable of recording a significant amount of video. And they're super unreliable so I'll often miss several hours of footage. And the video they do capture takes an extremely long time to download. Again, none of us has hours to spend standing around with a stopwatch. Neither do we have time to keep clicking and waiting for lots of 10 second video clips to download.
Any suggestions for other cameras that actually work well for capturing cycle times?
Thanks,
Brian
