Improve your OEE and boost your productivity

Written by Author | 10/15/24 9:30 AM

The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is one of the key indicators for evaluating machine production efficiency in a factory. Understanding and optimizing OEE enables manufacturers to reduce downtime, improve equipment performance, and maximize production. With KEYPROD, the connected solution that analyzes your machines' data in real-time, you can achieve unprecedented levels of productivity.

 

Reminder: What is OEE?

OEE consists of three main components:

Availability: Measures the proportion of time the machine is operational compared to the total time available.


📈 Performance: Evaluates the actual production speed compared to the theoretical maximum speed.


💎 Quality: Indicates the percentage of conforming products among the total produced.


These three factors combined provide a comprehensive view of a machine’s efficiency and overall production effectiveness.

 

Optimizing OEE with KEYPROD

Adopting KEYPROD allows companies to monitor their machines in real-time and quickly identify bottlenecks in their production line:

 

Reduction of Downtime: With KEYPROD, unplanned stops can be identified. By analyzing vibrations and machine data, our solution detects early signs of failure, allowing you to schedule maintenance interventions.


Performance Improvement: Thanks to KEYPROD's intuitive dashboards, you can spot discrepancies between actual and expected machine performance. This transparency enables you to make informed decisions to optimize production.

 


Case Study: FEDD and Their OEE improvement

FEDD, a key player in the industrial sector, adopted the KEYPROD solution to optimize their OEE. With a heterogeneous machine park and paper-based tracking, FEDD faced major challenges in maintaining a smooth production flow.

 

1️⃣ With KEYPROD, they were able to:

👉 Effectively prioritize repairs.

👉 Adjust their processes to reduce downtime.

 

2️⃣ This approach led to:

👉 A quick return on investment.

👉 A significant improvement in productivity.

 

3️⃣ Thanks to instant visibility into key indicators, operators were able to:

👉 Focus on essential tasks.

👉 Minimize productivity losses and optimize workshop operations.

👉 Increase their OEE.

 

Impressed by these results, FEDD decided to expand the use of KEYPROD across their workshops.
