OEE and Production Monitoring
Our OEE solution converts machine signals and operator inputs into clear availability, performance and quality losses. Teams can see where production time is being lost and compare machines, products, shifts and lines using consistent data.
OEE Monitoring capabilities
- Automatic production and runtime capture
- Availability, performance and quality calculation
- Downtime reason entry and Pareto analysis
- Shift, machine and product dashboards
- Target versus actual reporting
- Alerts, exports and management summaries
Typical applications
- Assembly and machining lines
- Packaging and filling
- Automotive production
- Food and beverage plants
- Pharma equipment
- Multi-line production monitoring
Business and engineering outcomes
Agreed KPI definitions
Availability, performance and quality are calculated from documented states, schedules and production rules.
Visible production losses
Downtime reasons, micro-stops, speed loss, reject and changeover data reveal where improvement work should start.
Shift-level accountability
Operators and supervisors see current targets, losses and actions while the shift can still respond.
Trusted management reporting
Validated machine and contextual data reduce spreadsheet reconciliation and inconsistent KPI versions.
Engineering and delivery approach
- Definition workshop: Agree planned time, machine states, ideal cycle, good count, reject, changeover, calendars and reporting hierarchy.
- Signal validation: Map PLC tags and verify that run, stop, fault, count and product signals reflect physical production.
- Workflow design: Configure downtime capture, reason trees, operator prompts, comments, targets and shift closeout.
- Dashboard and governance: Build role-specific views, data-quality checks, ownership and a process for changing KPI rules.

Frequently asked questions
What data is needed for OEE?
At minimum, the system needs planned time, runtime or machine state, ideal production rate, total count and reject count.
Can operators enter downtime reasons?
Yes. HMI, tablet or web screens can present controlled reason lists for accurate loss analysis.
Can OEE connect with an ERP?
Yes. Product, order, shift or production results can be exchanged through approved interfaces.
