OEE

• Gain insight into manufacturing efficiency and performance with OEE
• Define production capacity using daily and weekly schedules
• Report stoppages and causes manually or automatically
• Full overview of produced and defective units
• View efficiency by resource, line or manual station
• direct MES gives you complete visibility into factory performance

The OEE module in direct MES provides the data you need to optimise manufacturing. By combining availability, performance and quality, you get a comprehensive measure of overall effectiveness – not just for your machines, but for the entire production environment. The solution supports both automated lines and manual stations, delivering detailed insights by day, week, or month.

OEE gives you powerful production insight

With OEE, you can monitor what’s really happening on the shop floor. You define measurement points for each resource, machine or group – including expected cycle time, quantities, scrap and stoppages. Information can be collected automatically via machine PLCs or entered manually via the operator interface. The system provides clear visualisations of efficiency and stop reasons – so you can take action, not just track data.

Performance management with direct MES

direct MES makes it easy to define weekly and daily schedules for production capacity. You can plan runtime, breaks and non-working days at the measurement-point level, and get OEE calculations that reflect both planned and actual time. AMS works with you to adapt the setup to your factory layout and production logic, ensuring that the data provides meaningful and actionable insight.

Decision support across manufacturing

When all data is collected and transformed into a single OEE percentage, managers and operators gain a clear picture of where improvements are needed. You can analyse time loss patterns, identify bottlenecks and take action based on facts. This leads to better decisions and a production environment that continuously improves.

Efficient manufacturing isn’t just about speed – it’s about understanding what disrupts flow. OEE in direct MES helps you see the bigger picture and take actions that truly make a difference.
