Heating and forging get the attention; the cranes, manipulators, hydraulic packs and quench systems that keep them fed rarely do — until one stops and takes a shift with it. There’s no clean instrument on most of them, so Munshi treats them where it can: runtime, motor load and the breakdown logged against the unit.
Your ERP logs the maintenance job when the crane or power pack finally fails.
It won't tell you it had been drawing harder for a week, or how much press time its last stoppage cost.
Why the gap existsWhat the auxiliaries hide
Billet conveyors, manipulators and EOT cranes: runtime, motor load and breakdown causes. Surfaces the auxiliary downtime that starves the press.
Hydraulic power packs on the press: motor current and vibration. Surfaces load anomalies and spare consumption tied to the specific unit.
Energy draw, load-unload cycling and leak-driven waste — air that runs whether or not anything is being made.
Quench tanks, cooling and DG sets: energy per unit and runtime read against production.
The point is attribution. A loss caused by an auxiliary and booked against the process is a loss you will keep paying for, because you are looking in the wrong place for the cause. Monitoring the auxiliaries as first-class assets is what lets the reason land where it belongs.

Bring the asset nobody watches.
The auxiliary you suspect is quietly costing you is usually the one worth wiring first.
