TL;DR · OEE software ROI in 60 words Typical OEE software ROI: 3-12 month payback. Formula: Capacity Recovery Value = OEE point gain × (annual production hours × line rate × margin). +5 OEE points on a $20M plant = $175-500K/year recovered capacity. Proven: Hutchinson...
TL;DR · Open-source OEE: real cost vs perception Open-source OEE stacks (Grafana+InfluxDB, Ignition, OpenMES) are free to license but expensive to operate: 2-4 FTE developers, no edge sensor, no standardized OEE methodology, 3-6 month build time. 5-year TCO: $180-500K...
TL;DR · OEE SaaS vs on-premise in 60 words SaaS for 80%+ of manufacturers: 30-50% lower TCO, no infrastructure management, automatic updates, 4-8 week deployment. On-premise justified only for defense/classified/air-gapped. Hybrid (edge + cloud) is best practice: edge...
