Improve quality and your bottom line

Ensure everyone follows best practices by creating asset and equipment maintenance forms. With photo annotation and calculations in inspections, it’s easy for frontline teams to capture and share noncompliant areas, giving management a clear view of what’s happening on the floor. With all your data in one place, you can quickly pinpoint problem areas and come up with solutions before they cause bigger problems.

“Now auditors can finish their near miss reports, take pictures and it all incorporates into one document. You can send it right from the field.”

Improve uptime on critical equipment

Go beyond reactive repairs and keep things running smoothly with scheduled maintenance tasks that match the frequency you need. Gain a detailed overview of your assets, including history and upcoming activities. Set up automated reminders so teams are alerted when maintenance checks are due to be completed.

Monitor equipment activity throughout operations

Create a register of all production equipment to efficiently track and gather data on day-to-day activities. Monitor the condition of equipment using vibration sensors and reports from operators to understand their potential maintenance needs. Streamline data easily to gain better visibility over equipment and manufacturing processes.

Identify opportunities for equipment improvement

Highlight important data identified by sensors and report to drive up continuous improvement. Create a data-driven and proactive working environment focused on improving equipment performance and reliability using data analytics. Enhance workflows, adjust maintenance schedules, and revise operational equipment handling based on identified information.

Ensure proper equipment handling across teams

Provide teams with accessible user instructions and proper equipment handling knowledge using a digital platform. Attach QR codes to equipment that they can easily scan to encourage safe and proper use of equipment. Distribute bite-sized training modules to improve their knowledge and skills of equipment use for smooth operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Implementing OEE software primarily helps performance by enhancing manufacturing asset management. It supports better quality control throughout production and decreases equipment downtime with regular maintenance. This helps improve overall manufacturing performance by having reliable equipment that functions in alignment with production goals.  

Key features of effective OEE software include:

  • Real-time monitoring of equipment status 
  • Automated data collection 
  • Visual dashboards 
  • Compliance tracking
  • Alerts for performance issues, including breakdowns or quality defects
  • Workflow calibration and scheduling

Yes, a good OEE software should be able to integrate seamlessly with existing ERP systems used by an organization. These systems can exchange important data to help maintenance and production schedules to optimize operations further. 

OEE software is primarily designed for regulated manufacturing environments, but it can also be beneficial for non-regulated businesses looking to enhance operational performance. Most OEE systems allow a lot of flexibility with their features and can be tailored to various industry needs. 

Organizations may encounter challenges for data collection, especially when the software is newly introduced to the system. Moreover, it can be difficult to ensure accurate data collection in the beginning, as workers have yet to adjust to the features of the software.

As such, it is essential to implement best practices to help the organization acclimate to OEE software and maximize its features to support overall operational excellence.
