Machine Downtime Reduction
Reducing machine down time has an instant beneficial effect on manufacturing production efficiency and output. However, without accurate information on the true amount and causes of downtime it can be difficult to identify how it can be reduced.
Improved Shop Floor Management
PlantRun systems continuously collect data from all monitored machines. This information is then presented on a PC display as a 'shop floor overview', which provides an instant picture of the condition of every machine. Similarly large format overhead displays can provide relevant KPI information in production areas.
OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Since it’s original development in Japan in the 1970’s OEE or Overall Equipment Effectiveness has become a widely used metric for measuring manufacturing efficiency. OEE is the main tool of the Total Productive Maintenance improvement program and is used to reduce or eliminate the “Six Big Losses” that limit production.
