Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Challenge
Equipment and processes often have undetected inefficiencies that impact output or quality. Monitoring and identifying production slowdowns, and isolating the specific causes of these slowdowns, is challenging without a comprehensive approach. Detecting equipment or process slowdowns in a scalable manner is crucial for optimizing and scaling production efficiently. Achieving a perfect OEE score (100% OEE) indicates that you have 100% quality (no defects), 100% performance (production running at maximum speed), and 100% availability (no stops or downtime in the production line).
Solution
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) can be implemented in any type of industry, including batch and process industries, whether it’s an assembly line or a processing plant. With the AVEVA PI System infrastructure, we collect real-time data directly from your production equipment to analyze availability and performance using advanced analytic models.
Enriching data with equipment information, and analyzing and detecting performance, health, and quality information is performed with the AVEVA PI Asset Framework and Analytics. This provides a single surface for all necessary information to monitor OEE and optimize your performance.
Performance is analyzed in real-time. By utilizing real-time monitoring and visualization of your key performance indicators, you get a clear and detailed view of your process and performance.
All planned and unplanned stops are automatically detected, with tools available for both manual and automated categorization of the correct stop-cause.
Immediate detection of issues and utilization of advanced ad-hoc analytical tools help identify patterns and root causes of inefficiencies.
Integrating OEE into the Quality Assurance process completes the OEE solution. By measuring the output quality, we enable your operators to detect and analyze quality issues effectively.
Key Features
By integrating OEE measurement with the AVEVA PI System, manufacturers can achieve higher productivity, reduced downtime, and improved product quality, ultimately leading to more efficient and effective production processes.
Outcome
Equipment performance is monitored and analyzed in real-time, by key performance indicators, so that you get a clear and detailed view of your process and performance.
Reduce downtime and production loss, increase effectivity and free up operators from manual data tasks.
Enables operators to run equipment at its recommended capacity, detect bottlenecks and prioritize in operation.
Standardized performance metrics, KPIs and operational reporting, enable you to capture best practices and scale across your business.
Generate detailed reports that provide insights into Availability, Performance, and Quality, helping to drive continuous improvement.
