Monitor OEE Metrics with PerfTrak OPC UA
PERFTRAK OPC UA
Unlock the Power of OPC UA for Industrial Efficiency
In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, maintaining high operational efficiency is essential. PerfTrak OPC UA is the ultimate solution for industrial companies aiming to monitor and optimize their OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) metrics directly from OPC UA-compatible equipment.
By leveraging the OPC UA protocol, PerfTrak delivers real-time insights to help industrials identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and maximize productivity.
Better yet, the output of this solution is integrated seamlessly into the same platform as the classic PerfTrak solution, enabling unified monitoring of both legacy and OPC UA-compatible machines.
What is OPC UA and Why Does It Matter for OEE?
Understanding the OPC UA protocol
OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is a machine-to-machine communication protocol designed for industrial automation. It ensures seamless and secure data exchange between various devices, regardless of the manufacturer. This standard has become a cornerstone for Industry 4.0, enabling smart factories to achieve unparalleled levels of connectivity.
How OPC UA Enhances OEE Monitoring
OEE is a critical metric for understanding how efficiently your equipment is operating. It measures three key components:
- Availability : The percentage of time equipment is available for production.
- Performance : The speed at which equipment operates compared to its maximum capability.
- Quality : The proportion of defect-free products produced.
By using OPC UA, PerfTrak ensures accurate and continuous data collection for all three components, empowering industrial teams with actionable insights to improve their OEE.
Furthermore, with PerfTrak’s unified platform, businesses can monitor both legacy machines and new OPC UA-compatible equipment side-by-side, simplifying operations and decision-making.

Perftrak opc ua Key features
Real-Time Data Collection and Visualization
PerfTrak OPC UA captures data directly from your OPC UA-compatible equipment and presents it in easy-to-read dashboards. Real-time monitoring allows you to spot inefficiencies and take immediate corrective actions.
Automatic and Configurable Root Cause Analysis
Some performance losses are automatically identified and reported based on OPC UA data, such as speed reductions or brief stoppages. For other types of stoppages or performance losses, PerfTrak enables configurable workflows that involve operators. Operators can provide detailed root cause information directly through the platform, ensuring that all losses are properly categorized and addressed.
Compatibility with Diverse Equipment
Our solution integrates seamlessly with a wide range of industrial equipment that supports the OPC UA protocol. Whether your machinery is from a single manufacturer or multiple vendors, PerfTrak ensures reliable data flow. Legacy machines are also supported within the same platform, giving you a comprehensive view of your operations.
Customizable Alerts and Reporting
Stay ahead of potential issues with customizable alerts that notify your team when key metrics deviate from the desired thresholds. Generate detailed reports to share performance insights with stakeholders.
Secure and Scalable
PerfTrak OPC UA is built with robust security measures, safeguarding your data against unauthorized access. Deployment involves installing our Orchestrator on the OT side, while we take care of the rest with a very high level of cybersecurity to protect your operations.
