In today’s industrial context, integrating cyber-physical systems into production lines represents a real opportunity to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). However, fully leveraging these technologies remains a challenge for many manufacturing...
Unsupervised production represents the pinnacle of industrial automation. Machines running at night, on weekends, without human presence. This promise of lights-out manufacturing attracts with its productivity gains. But how do you maintain OEE when no one is there to...
When we talk about OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), we immediately think shop floor: equipment availability, rates, scrap. OEE impacts suppliers and customers far beyond the workshop, yet most manufacturers still treat it as a purely internal performance...
When we talk about OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), we immediately think of the field: availability machines, rates, scrap. OEE has an impact on suppliers and customers far beyond the shop floor, yet most manufacturers still treat it as a “business...
Unsupervised production represents the culmination of industrial automation. Machines that run at night and at weekends, with no human presence. The promise of lights-out manufacturing is seductive because of its productivity gains. But how do you maintain OEE when no...
The frequency of OEE monitoring directly determines your ability to react to production problems. Monitoring that’s too far apart lets losses slip away. Too much monitoring drowns teams in data. In this article, we analyze the three main approaches: daily...
