Transforming Factory Planning: Why is OEE so important for planning?

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) has long been recognized as one of the most crucial indicators on the factory floor. Its importance lies in the ability to provide a holistic view of productivity, allowing benchmarking between processes and assisting managers in strategic decision making for continuous improvements. OEE, as we know, is the harmonious combination of three essential measures: availability, performance and quality.

Availability shows us how long a machine is operational and free of interference. Performance reveals the productive efficiency of the equipment in relation to its ideal potential. Finally, the quality monitors the proportion of parts that meet acceptable standards. Together, these metrics offer a complete panorama of operational effectiveness.

However, when we enter the universe of production programming, especially in companies that use advanced systems such as Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), we come across significant challenges. The main one is the creation of realistic manufacturing itineraries, which consider the natural deviations and unforeseen events. Often, simulations fail to capture these nuances, resulting in low adherence plans and late delivery.

It is in this scenario that the integration between Opcenter APS and Evocon emerges as an ideal solution for those looking to go to the next level, ie digitization. Imagine having the ability to dramatically reduce the gap between the planned and the executed. With this powerful combination, this is no longer a distant dream and becomes a tangible reality for industries.

Evocon, as a real -time digital OEE solution, raises the potential of its planning to a new level. It is now possible to access updated machine availability, cycle times based on recent history and, more impressive, the ability to identify quality problems before the end of the shift. This means that you no longer have to wait hours or days to find that an order has not been completed due to quality issues.

By integrating Evocon with Opcenter APS, companies gain the ability to make decisions and reprogram their factories based on realistic and updated data. This synergy provides powerful insights, allowing managers to immediately view the impact of their decisions on the operation as a whole.

Neo Digital Industries, recognizing the transformative potential of this integration, has united Opcenter APS simulation power with the innovation and practicality of Evocon. The result is a solution that goes far beyond simply displaying data on a screen in the supervision room. It is a tool that transforms gross data into concrete actions, allowing companies to extract the most from their industrial plants.

With this integration, industries can:

• Get a real time view of the performance of your machines and production lines.

• Adjust your production plans dynamically, quickly responding to changes and unforeseen events.

• Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement with surgical accuracy.

• Increase the accuracy of their future predictions and planning.

• Optimize the use of resources, reducing waste and increasing global efficiency.

In a world where agility and accuracy are competitive differentials, the combination of Opcenter APS with Evocon offers companies a significant advantage. It is not just about having another management tool in sight, but having an integrated system that uses real -time data to boost a more realistic and efficient programming.

Industries that adopt this solution will be positioned at the Vanguard of Industry 4.0, ready to face the challenges of the market with confidence and accuracy. This is the time to take the next step into the evolution of industrial planning, turning data into tangible results and leading its factory to the future of intelligent and connected production.

Find out how the EVOCON integrated with your Opcenter APS can revolutionize your production, optimize your processes, and raise your competitiveness to levels never before imagined. The future of industrial planning is here, and it is driven by data, intelligence and integration. Do not be left behind - evolve with Neo Digital Industries and bring your factory to the next level of operational excellence.
