OEE - Increase Productivity

By Increasing Efficiency - Typically 10 - 50%

If you can measure it, then you can manage it - Our OEE tool can monitor your machines in Real-Time. 

Memex understands the need to be more competitive and get the maximum throughput with your machine assets in manufacturing.  To be able to "visualize" how your machines are operating allows you to react quickly to situations.  Measuring what actually happens on the shop floor allows you to tune your processes using lean manufacturing techniques.  Apply the Theory of Constraints principle by monitoring and identifying a constraint. Improve operator productivity and satisfaction by helping them perform faster and reduce their data collection overhead using automatic and accurate tracking systems. OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness is the key performance indicator that drives this machine monitoring process. 

OEE is a Manufacturing Productivity Tool for Real-Time Monitoring enabling Increased Productivity:

  • Cost Effective
  • Practical & Proven
  • Expandable
  • Plant-wide, enterprise enabled.
  • All machines - CNC, non-CNC, PLC, Presses, Injection Molding, etc.

 


What is OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness? 

A Key Performance Indicator

  • A statistical measurement used to determine how efficiently a machine is running

OEE % = Availability x Performance x Quality = % Utilization x % Std Rate x % Yield

  • Indicates whether a machine is running at optimum capacity and producing quality output
  • OEE measurements can help companies avoid downtime and reduce lost production
  • Can be applied to work cells, lines, areas, or plants
  • A rating between 0 and 100 

Benefits include:

  • Real-time production visibility for everyone in the plant – including alerts through email or paging.
  • Accurate key performance indicator with OEE metric
  • Identify problems Fast
  • Production data collection and reporting
  • Downtime and reject cause analysis
  • Labor productivity tracking
  • Usage-based Preventive Maintenance
  • Visual production scheduling
  • Connecting production floor to ERP
  • Assess Operator Productivity

Solution Description:

  • Hardware, Firmware and Software connected to machine
  • Software for plant wide metrics
  • Handhelds, scanners, bar codes, marquees, light trees, devices etc.
  • Real-Time connection to machines
  • Over 400 data elements collected
  • Comprehensive reporting in 8 ways (Reports, web, email alerts, real-time dashboard, cycle charts, KPI's, Down/Reject, Schedule)

OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness Software Features
A Sample Set of Business Process Improvements
  OEE Dashboard
  • Eliminate the non-productive labor and errors of manual data collection.
  • Present and format data your way: custom reports and exporting data.
  • Determine real Job Standards to help improve your Job costing process.
  • Analyze causes for Downtime and Rejects -- then eliminate them.
  • Real time knowledge of what is happening on the shop floor.
  • Usage-based Preventive Maintenance minimizes job interruptions
  • Visual, “drag and drop” production scheduling
  • Respond quickly to changing shop floor conditions
  • “Paperless” Strip Chart shows detailed machine operating history.
  • Chart Machine Rate, Cycle Time and  Process Variables
  • Record and analyze real-time and historical performance/productivity/OEE.
  • Graphically display manufacturing productivity with OEE
  • Use e-mail notification to alert appropriate personnel to potential or actual problems.
  • Monitor production schedule remotely in multiple locations with Web Job Queue.
  • View individual machine status of every Job on every machine in every plant - in real-time - on your Web browser.
  • Real-time Process Variable monitoring prevents problems from occurring.
  • Analyze Operator & Maintenance performance.
  • Record production totals, rejects, run time, downtime and calculated efficiencies by Operator ID.
  • Key Drivers - if this matters to you… Productivity & Efficiency

 

Smart Factories - Click for larger image

Smart Equipment = Smart Factories = Profitability 
Make every factory machine into a node on your corporate network

  • Every machine can be IP addressable and therefore a secure node on the corporate network
  • Make the information about the machine and production, including history, available on your network.
  • Embed web connectivity to provide Intranet or Internet Access to real time factory data
  • Integrate all factory equipment into into all ERP Capacity Planning, Supply Chain and Collaborative Manufacturing initiatives

 

Memex Offers a program for you to prove on your machines what the benefits are. 
Special Trial Project Offer - To prove we can increase your efficiency of your existing machines

Machine Monitoring & Control with OEE+DNC Enables Productivity 

This is accomplished by a combination of software and hardware to connect to any machine.

We stand behind our product and offer you a trial program of 60 days duration to review our product and assess the benefits.

 

Memex understands the need to be able to "visualize" how our machine monitoring system works, especially relating it to your plant and specific machine or work cells. To that end we have found the best way is to physically connect our machine monitoring solution to one of your machines and see it in operation directly.

Memex offers a trial pilot program to ease your assessment of the viability and business benefits of our machine monitoring solution.  It is a pre-packaged trial pilot program involving the hardware, computer, boards and software as well as installation services to make it work.  The trial pilot process will allow you to learn how it works, so you can configure your larger plant operation.

Should you choose to proceed with a larger complete plant installation project, then the deposit will be 100% credited to future purchases.

To proceed, please contact the Memex Sales team or fill out the easy "Special Offers" form to the right of this web page.
