OEE<\/strong> stands for Overall Equipment Effectiveness<\/strong> and is a key performance indicator used to measure the efficiency of production equipment.<\/h3>\n

Today, OEE is an important part of many companies\u2019 continuous improvement strategies. It is used to identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and improve the quality of manufactured goods. By measuring OEE, companies can gain insight into their production processes and find ways to improve efficiency. <\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

OEE takes three main factors into account:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Availability<\/em><\/strong>: The percentage of the planned production time during which the machine is actually in operation.<\/li>\n
  2. Performance:<\/strong><\/em> How fast the machine is running relative to its maximum speed.<\/li>\n
  3. Quality:<\/strong><\/em> The percentage of units produced that meet quality standards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Where do the OEE figures come from, and how can PLEET help:<\/h3>\n

    With PLEET, there are several options for collecting the data needed to calculate an OEE, and the method you choose depends entirely on your specific production process.<\/p>\n

    You can set up a relatively simple interface where PLEET picks up a running signal from your machine via an IoT box; when there is a signal, it means the machine is running, and when there is no signal, the machine has stopped.<\/p>\n

    Another, somewhat more reliable method is for PLEET to communicate directly with the machine’s control system. This allows downtime and the causes of downtime to be recorded fully automatically. <\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”23px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”15px||15px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px||0px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|30px||30px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|18px||18px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_3_font_size_phone=”26px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    PLEET has implemented a wide range of standard protocols for communicating with control systems, including:<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/pleet.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Unavngivet-2.png” alt=”Logos” title_text=”Pleet Logos” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”23px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|30px||30px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|18px||18px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”36px” header_3_font_size_phone=”26px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    In addition, PLEET can interface directly with most PLCs to retrieve stop causes, error codes, and speed.<\/p>\n

    Finally, it is possible to use a completely manual recording process, in which an operator selects \u201cmachine stopped\u201d on the PLEET screen and specifies a reason.<\/p>\n

    To calculate performance<\/strong><\/em> , you need to know the theoretical capacity<\/strong><\/em>, which PLEET typically retrieves from the order in your ERP system. Similarly to when registering stops, there are several options for capturing a cycle signal from the machine. <\/p>\n

    The final value \u2013 quality<\/strong><\/em>\u2014can be entered manually by simply counting the number of rejected items or, as before, by retrieving the number of rejected items directly from the machine\u2019s control system.<\/p>\n
