TeepTrak connects any machine, old or new, in under 48 hours &mdash; which is why legacy-heavy plants often see their first real OEE number the same week they start.<\/p>\n<h3>How long until OEE software pays for itself?<\/h3>\n<p>Most plants recover the cost within the first few months, because first-time automatic measurement typically reveals actual OEE is 10 to 15 points below management estimates &mdash; and the micro-stops behind that gap are the fastest to fix. The shorter the deployment, the sooner that recovery starts, which is why time-to-data matters as much as price.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#232120;color:white;padding:32px;border-radius:8px;margin:32px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:bold;margin-bottom:8px;color:#fff;\">Go live on your own line &mdash; in 48 hours<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ddd;margin-bottom:20px;\">Free 1-month proof of concept.
