OEE SMART
What is OEE SMART?
OEE Smart is a comprehensive system designed to capture, process, and display plant performance data in real time, empowering plant teams with the information they need to make informed decisions and enhance efficiency.
OEE Smart is developed based on solid, time-tested concepts that enable factory employees at any level to identify sources of loss and address them effectively, improving performance and reducing costs.
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a proven method for measuring the efficiency of a manufacturing process by evaluating time utilization (“availability”), equipment capability utilization (“performance”), and the rate of defective products produced.
Visual and One-page Management concepts are integrated into the system to streamline decision-making processes by reducing information overload, allowing quicker and more effective action plans.
OEE Smart simplifies data capture, processing, and analysis, making it easy and efficient. By displaying real-time efficiency data, it enables shop floor teams to make improvement decisions as they arise, effectively reducing losses related to variability in manufacturing processes.
What OEE Smart Does for You
Improving unmeasured processes can be near impossible. OEE Smart bridges this gap by allowing your team to focus on producing market-leading goods and enhancing production efficiency. The system records downtime and output data directly from your production lines, eliminating the need for complex or unreliable systems. It processes data to convert it into actionable insights.
- Capture: Gather floor control data using the OEE Smart station and operator input.
- Optimize: Enhance manufacturing operations with real-time tools for supervisors to take corrective actions.
- Analyze: Use reports and graphs to assess process efficiency, identify bottlenecks, and measure improvements.
- Access: Retrieve all floor control data from any device at any time.
OEE Smart is a Complete System
OEE Smart is more than just software; it’s an entire system for recording, processing, and presenting your factory’s data, supporting stakeholders in making timely and impactful decisions to improve plant performance.
The hardware components are data capture devices selected based on the client’s unique needs, considering machine design, product type and shape, output speed, and other variables.
The software includes multiple modules:
- Data Capture Station Software: Specialized PLC software pre-analyzes raw data from the production line, relaying information to the main module.
- Main Module: A robust software solution that processes machine data and operator input to convert data into insights.
- Dashboard and Real-Time Display: Presents real-time insights tailored to different stakeholders’ needs, such as downtime causes, machine output, and order fill rates, on screens throughout or even outside the plant.
- Analyzer: While real-time data aids quick decisions, historical data is essential to addressing underlying productivity challenges. The Analyzer generates reports enabling the analysis of key indicators like efficiency, availability, performance, and quality, segmented by machine, product, operator, and shift.
