Introduction to OEE Edge

On-machine overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), downtime tracking, and asset utilization just got easier. The OEE Edge Module empowers manufacturers to reduce operating costs while increasing asset utilization and operating efficiency, resulting in improved profitability. It also empowers OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to provide cost-effective OEE to customers that can be scaled up to full MES site or enterprise solutions.

Some features include:

• On-Machine, at the Edge
• Real-Time Efficiency Tracking
• Downtime Data Collection
• Executive Dashboard
• Enterprise Integration
• Mobile MES Access
• Fully Customizable
• Automatic Data Collection
• Scalable
• Easy MES Licensing
• And more!

On-Machine, at the Edge

OEE Edge runs on Ignition® Edge at the machine or line level for lightweight, rapid deployment with no external databases. The database is integrated into the OEE Edge Module with the backup and maintenance tools that are required. Data retention is automatically managed to keep the database size to 1GB, that in a typical production environment, is months of data.

Real-Time Efficiency Tracking

Access current production, efficiency, downtime details, and asset utilization data instantly through graphical executive and operational dashboards. This empowers management and operations to respond to real-world issues as they are happening in real-time, not last week. Accomplish continuous improvement, as well as LEAN and Six Sigma business strategies by communicating efficiently and clearly between all departments.

Downtime Data Collection

The OEE Edge Module supports automatic, manual, or a hybrid collection of downtime reasons. Improve production efficiency by quickly identifying and focusing on the top downtime causes.

Fully Customizable

Because manufacturers have different requirements, the OEE Edge Module allows you to modify existing screens, reports, etc., or create them from scratch for a fully customizable system, putting you in charge of your data.

Scalable

Start small and expand without spending more to replace or redesign your OEE Edge to include more production lines or sites. OEE Edge connects to a Sepasoft® site or enterprise architecture with simple configuration. If more MES functionality is desired, upgrade keeping your configuration and historical data.
