In the industrial sector, equipment efficiency is crucial to a plant’s competitiveness and profitability. However, many companies find it difficult to accurately assess the efficiency of their production lines. The OEE, or Overall Equipment Effectiveness, is a key indicator for obtaining an overall view of machine operation. Trying out OEE software can profoundly change the way a plant monitors and improves its performance. By adopting a solution like TeepTrak‘s, managers are able to track SRR in real time, quickly analyze the causes of downtime, and drive continuous improvement in their production.
The causes of poor industrial performance are often multiple, such as unanalyzed high stoppage rates, lack of quality monitoring or inefficient processes. This translates into low OEE, indicating that machines are not operating to their full potential. In the absence of a dedicated solution, the analysis of these failures can be complex and time-consuming, generating additional costs. Non-detection rates or prolonged downtime have a direct impact on productivity, and consequently increase production costs.
High-performance OEE software overcomes these challenges. It provides a clear and precise view of the performance of each machine. By digitizing the shop floor, it is possible to centralize all relevant data and structure the analysis. Performance can be enhanced through continuous improvement methods such as Kaizen or Total Productive Maintenance
A case in point is a mechanical components manufacturing plant that was experiencing frequent downtime on one of its key production lines. Using TeepTrak’s OEE software, the company was able to identify that 60% of its downtime was due to unplanned machine breakdowns. Thanks to the data collected in real time, they were able to adjust their maintenance processes, reducing downtime by 30% in just a few months. Not only did this stabilize production, it also improved overall profitability.
In view of the clear benefits brought by TRS analysis and monitoring, it is imperative for manufacturers to seriously consider implementing OEE software. Starting with an analysis of the existing situation, determining the main performance indicators to be improved, and structuring an OEE/ROS project can lead to significant gains in productivity and quality. TeepTrak’s solutions for digitizing your production provide invaluable support in this continuous improvement process.
