OEE stands for "Overall Equipment Effectiveness". It is a metric that measures the efficiency and productivity of production equipment. It consists of three factors: availability, performance, and quality.
Typical functions of software in the OEE domain include:
Data aggregation and analysis: The software collects data on the condition and performance of production equipment and analyzes it to calculate OEE.
Real-time monitoring: The software provides real-time monitoring of equipment performance to quickly detect and address issues.
Reporting: Generating reports and dashboards that provide insights into OEE as well as trends and patterns.
Alarms and notifications: The software can set up alarms and notifications to alert users to deviations from optimal performance.
Root cause analysis: Identifying causes of production downtime or efficiency losses and providing suggestions for improvement.
Integration with other systems: Integration with other production and enterprise systems to seamlessly exchange data and provide comprehensive insights into the production process.
