Prevent downtime from happening

Downtime tracking software
for connected manufacturing

Know not just that a machine is down, but why, how long, and what it's costing, the moment it happens - with better downtime tracking software.

How the L2L downtime tracking software works

L2L’s downtime tracking software is about capturing and categorizing downtime events: why they happened, how long they lasted, and what they cost.

Log and classify
A downtime event is logged and classified by impact and reason code.
Alert and respond
The right person gets notified, with response time tracked against a standard threshold.
Analyze the pattern

See top areas, lines, and machines by downtime, and why, on a live dashboard.

What L2L's downtime
tracking software does

2- Impact Classification Downtime Tracking

Record the reasons for each downtime event by standardized reason, action, component, and “why” codes. Capture the cause of the failure, what action was taken to correct it, and which part of the machine was repaired, so root-cause analysis (RCA) is informed by more than a single cause code.

3- Andon_ red- yellow - green Downtime Tracking

Every downtime event gets classified as Down, Impacting, Planned, or No Impact, so OEE and downtime totals reflect what actually affected production, not every logged event equally.

1st - Close the execution gap

See open downtime events and duration at a glance on a machine status dashboard, with critical machines flagged visually.

4 - Downtime Cost Downtime Tracking

See the cost of downtime on each event directly on the dispatch screen, not calculated after the fact in a separate report.

execution-ai-downtime-dashboard-by-line

Track average response time by dispatch type, with a threshold you set, so a slow response is visible as a problem, not just downtime in general.

Features for better maintenance scheduling

Four-Part Root-Cause Codes
Record the cause, the fix, the part, and the reason for the fix as four codes you can sort and trend later.
Impact Classification

Tag every event as Down, Impacting, Planned, or No Impact. Down events feed availability, OEE, and downtime totals.

Live Downtime Cost

Each open event shows what the stoppage is costing, right on the main screen.

 

Andon-Style Status Board

See assets machines have open issues and how long each has been open, with critical machines highlighted. 

Response Time vs. Threshold

Compare average response time to a threshold you set for each event type, and see how much of the downtime was spent waiting.

Top-10 Downtime Rankings

See the ten areas, lines, and machines with the most downtime, with open events listed alongside.

Complete Records at Close

Require an assigned person and all four codes before an event can be closed.

Metric-Triggered Events

Log an event or send a notification automatically when a line crosses a metric threshold you set.

Flexible Downtime Clock

Start the clock when an event is logged or when someone starts working on it, for lines that keep running until the fix.

Frequently asked questions about downtime tracking software

What can you expect from downtime tracking software software?

What is downtime tracking software?

Downtime tracking software logs machine downtime events in real time, categorizing them by cause and impact, so teams can see not just that a machine is down, but why, and act on the pattern.

Can downtime tracking software calculate the cost of downtime?

Yes, cost can be shown directly on the downtime event as it's logged, not calculated separately after the fact.

Is downtime tracking the same as OEE tracking?

Related but narrower. Downtime tracking focuses specifically on why and how long. OEE software rolls downtime into the full Availability × Performance × Quality (APQ) calculation.

See OEE Software →

Why use downtime tracking software?

Because "the machine was down for 3 hours" tells you nothing actionable. Knowing why it went down, the specific reason code, and the correct classification is what turns a downtime log into something you can actually fix.
