OEE Optimization
OEE optimization is a crucial component in improving productivity and other KPIs on production lines in the life sciences sector. Not only does OEE optimization deliver improvements at a machine level, but also across your wider manufacturing operations.
Our Smart Factory team will focus on the three critical areas of OEE optimization:
- Availability – ensuring equipment is available when needed by significantly reducing unplanned stops and downtime. Optimizing planned stops and downtime is also important to improve output and line performance.
- Performance – equipment not only has to be available; it also has to operate at an optimum level of performance. This includes running at full speed and capacity, as required by your manufacturing processes.
- Quality – reducing the production of defective products and ensuring defects and process deviations are identified and rectified as soon as possible.
Process Improvement
- MES solutions, including system design, specification, selection, integration, and implementation.
- Developing and implementing manufacturing control networks customized for high-speed, high-volume, highly regulated manufacturing environments.
- Customized software development and controls solutions.
- Production line software system support.
