Overall Equipment Effectiveness

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) with Internet of Things (IoT) is a key performance indicator used in manufacturing to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of production equipment. It reflects three primary factors: availability, performance, and quality. Integrating IoT technology into OEE measurement can significantly enhance the accuracy, real-time monitoring, and actionable insights of these metrics.

Features

Availability

Availability measures the percentage of scheduled time that equipment is operational. IoT integration involves installing sensors to monitor power, vibration, temperature, and production count, enabling real-time data collection on machine uptime and downtime. These insights are displayed on dashboards for real-time monitoring of machine availability.

Performance

Performance measures how fast equipment operates relative to its maximum potential speed. IoT integration tracks operational metrics like cycle times and speed, enabling real-time analysis against standard speeds to identify performance losses and detect anomalies that may indicate issues.

Quality

Quality measures the percentage of products meeting standards without defects or rework. IoT integration uses sensors to inspect products in real time, with data analytics identifying trends and potential issues, while also enabling root cause analysis by correlating quality problems with specific machine conditions, operators, or material batches.
