How can Plantnode help improve my OEE?

If you know what your current OEE is now because you are using manual data collection and bringing the data together in, for instance, a spread-sheet then Plantnode is far more efficient at collecting the data and can present OEE data at a Machine, Shift or Job level – in real-time.

Not only does this approach eliminate the time spent collecting data (which in turn could actually effect the OEE figure) but the real-time availability of the data and feedback to the operator(s) via Visual Management can actively effect the OEE at the point of measurement – by the operator making changes to improve. If you are not currently measuring OEE, then implementing Plantnode will enable you to start your OEE initiative rapidly with no additional overhead in terms of manual data collection.

Once you know your OEE you can then improve it – Plantnode will provide insight as to the reasons why availability, performance and quality are being affected so you can address them rapidly.
