Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE )
Many machine operators and producers fail to fully utilize their production capacity. Understanding, analyzing and evaluating equipment efficiency is of the utmost importance to increase the profitability and profit that their equipment can generate. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is made up of the availability, performance and quality of your lines and machines.

Background to the OEE key figure calculation
The OEE factor availability indicates the percentage of the machine that was available for production and includes the available production time as well as planned and unplanned downtimes in its calculation. The performance or speed, on the other hand, results from the cycle times, processed quantities and the operating time, and the quality factor from the total processed quantity and the defective units. The formula for overall equipment effectiveness = OEE = availability x performance x quality.
Targets for improving system efficiency
- Improve production output without having to invest in additional production lines.
- Increase plant throughput to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
- Identification of development trends to track improvements in the production process.
Solution: How OEE dashboards improve your production
- Creation of an application for real-time OEE recording based on the shopfloor.io - Digital Factory Software Suite.
- Integration of individual, user-defined machine views, messages and reports.
- Comprehensive reporting with context-related evaluation and analysis.
- Extension of the system to provide remote access via Remote Condition Monitoring.
- Use of an automated quality assurance system to determine the quality factor.
