OEE, Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Compute and enhance the capability & reliability of manufacturing operations by streamlining your production with OEE.
What is OEE?
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the standard metric for measuring manufacturing productivity and analyzing equipment performance. In addition, it also identifies the percentage of manufacturing time that results in deliverable products. OEE evaluates how efficiently your machines, workforce, and processes are utilized. By optimizing OEE, you can enhance quality and increase efficiency in your production lines, thereby boosting the capacity of your shop floor.
Why is OEE important?
Machine utilization, product quality, and the performance of machines and operators are fundamental to any production industry. OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a standard metric encompassing all three aspects. A higher OEE indicates that the shop floor produces more shippable products at a lower cost per unit, which benefits both short-term and long-term production efficiency.
Improving OEE may involve various strategies, such as adding new transitions, increasing over time, purchasing new equipment, outsourcing production, or opening a new facility. An OEE score of 85 percent is considered exceptional. However, many manufacturing facilities currently fall behind, averaging around 40%, and need to focus on continuous improvement.
Using the OEE metric daily, monthly, and yearly has significant potential to enhance productivity and eliminate waste.

Machine Runtime
Know the exact runtime for any machine in any factory setting. This solution provides full visibility per shift, allowing you to see uptime, downtime, pulse counts, and machine efficiency. Identifying issues in a timely manner can save you time and money from costly repairs.
- Monitor Production KPIs
- Connect & collect data from any Machine.
- Generate Reports
- Trigger alarms
- Preventive action, log machine downtime
Tracking overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is essential for efficient production management and supervision. Monitoring OEE allows production managers to make necessary adjustments to minimize losses and optimize production. Consequently, OEE tracking can significantly enhance productivity.
Contrary to common belief, OEE is not just about showing how well a production process performs at various stages and times. Instead, it highlights areas for potential improvement. Therefore, acting on the insights provided by OEE tracking is important.
