OEE metrics reveal the true state of your factory floors. Discover digital solutions that unlock new levels of lean manufacturing

Why improving OEE is critical to manufacturing success


Overall equipment effectiveness determines how much your facilities can produce at any given moment. From throughput capacity and downtime, to service costs and CAPEX expenditures, OEE improvements can transform your business.

Improving OEE: Quantifiable outcomes

Meaningful OEE improvements come from addressing multiple problem points, including downtime, changeover, and infrastructure CAPEX.

CAPEX avoidance

By using digital solutions to extend asset life, manufacturers can shed 2 to 15% of their CAPEX expenditures.

Less downtime

Solutions that monitor equipment health and empower front-line workers can cut 30 to 50% of unplanned downtime.

Faster changeover

Accelerating worker efficiency and optimizing production lines can result in 30 to 70% less changeover time.

Overall asset efficiency improvements

Reducing downtime, changeover, and CAPEX can save companies 3 to 50% in overall OEE improvements.
