OEE Solution

Real-time Machine Availability Management for Maximizing Operational Excellence

Data Acquisition

With Modbus/TCP data acquisition I/O module, data collected from different machines and multiple facilities goes through the OEE edge into one single platform.

Data Computing & Visualization

With WebAccess/SCADA software, data is aggregated in the OEE server. Data is analyzed and visualized as dynamic information assets with the iFactory/OEE application.

Central Management

Using contextualized and visualized OEE data, both real-time and historical, enables managers to gain significant intelligence and actionable insights for optimizing operation efficiency.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness Solution

Many manufacturers find it hard to identify those specific losses that contribute to low machine productivity as they are difficult to identify, record, and analyze, so manufacturers are looking for support in making the move toward smart factory transformation. To realize Industry 4.0 does not have to necessitate a major infrastructure overhaul that costs a lot of money. With Advantech’s iFactory Solution Ready Package (SRP) that combines hardware and software into integrated industrial applications, manufacturers can adopt a step-wise approach to realizing their intelligent factory. For system integrators, iFactory SRP provides a cost-effective approach to expediting project development with value-added applications that meet the criteria of Industry 4.0.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) solution, one of the most vital iFactory SRPs, realizes intelligent factory through data acquisition, aggregation, and analysis of machine availability to improve productivity, reduce loss, and increase profit.

System Architecture

OEE Dashboards

Availability Analysis by Shift

Managers can configure the shifts of each production line in the back office, and then check cross-shift performance analysis and comparison.

Visualize Machine and Production Line Performance in Real Time

Flexible setup with grouping and code mapping features to enable detailed visualization and analysis of machine performance.

Single Machine Information

Users can set up the benchmark of OEE score for each production line or machine in the back office. The scores that failed to meet the standard will be recorded and alarmed for the manager to track progress and improve abnormal problems.

Feature Highlights

Real-time OEE KPI Management

OEE KPI allows production performance to be measured and compared for real-time management. It also provides immediate customizable notifications so that appropriate people can be alerted in an unexpected factory floor condition or event.

OEE Dashboard Visualization

User-centric, custom OEE dashboards provide a quick overview on factory operational KPIs. The dashboard visualizations include trends, graphs, diagrams and process displays. It also allows users to view real-time and historical data in tables for tabular analysis and reporting.

Remote Access, Anytime Anywhere

Mobile access to OEE dashboard empowers operators to view data and get insights proactively. It also supports managers to ascertain business intelligence, make decisions, and determine appropriate actions to take.
