Machine monitoring and OEE
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Machine monitoring shows where capacity is lost — downtime, slow running and scrap — by line, shift and product.
Sound familiar?
Reasons are remembered, not measured.
You assume monitoring isn’t for you.
You don’t know where the time goes.
The numbers aren’t comparable.
Start with one. Add as you need.
Live status
Running, stopped, setup — for every machine on one board.
Downtime reasons
The operator picks a reason with one tap on the tablet by the machine.
OEE per shift
Availability, performance and quality — calculated automatically.
Counter and speed
Parts produced and cycle rate against target.
Alarms
An alert when downtime runs longer than allowed.
History and analysis
Most common reasons, weakest shifts and trends.
A pilot on one line.
Real numbers within weeks, without stopping production.

Does the machine need a PLC?
No. For older machines we use a current sensor or pulse counter, without touching the controls.
What is a good OEE?
It depends on the industry; 85% is often quoted as world class. What matters more is knowing yours and improving it.
How quickly do we see results?
The first data arrives as soon as it’s connected; comparisons make sense after a few weeks.
