MES and OEE

Overall equipment efficiency on each line, for the operations team during the shift. Set up by the Cairo office, and still there after the line is running.

The shift, on one board

MES at Track is the system that measures overall equipment efficiency on the line, while the shift is still running. The operations team sees the line now, not in a spreadsheet after the shift has closed.

Printers, scanners, and vision already on the line are what feed the numbers. The board is how the shift reads them.

Why it is on the line

What the operations team gets

A live view of the lines, boards the plant can set for itself, and a connection to the systems already running the order. Decisions in the current shift, a clear look at where time is being lost, and fewer defects left inside the count.

Measure

OEE on the line

Overall equipment efficiency is calculated for each line, not reconstructed after the shift from notes.

Watch

The shift, as it happens

The team sees which lines are running and which are stopped, in time to act on this shift.

Hourly charts for the shift

Boards the plant can set

Dashboards are set for the way that plant already talks about a line, a day, and a stoppage.

Connect

Beside what already runs the order

The board sits with the systems already on the site. It does not ask the plant to start the order a second time.

The board

What a line shows

Each line shows overall equipment efficiency, split into availability, performance, and quality, whether that line is running, and how the hours of the day went. The range can be today, yesterday, the week, the month, or the full history.

The board below is a sample view. The percentages on it are not a result from a named plant.

Availability

Time the line could run

The share of the planned window in which the line was able to run. Stops show up here.

Performance

Rate against the set rate

How the running time compared with the rate the line is set for. A slow hour shows up here.

Quality

Good units in the count

Good units against the total count. Defects that still got into the count show up here.

Where it sits

Plants we put this on

Pharmaceutical lines, where the shift also has to hold compliance and batch traceability. Food and beverage. Electronics. Automotive.
