Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the standard for measuring discrete manufacturing productivity. It incorporates factors for production speed, defective parts and stop time to provide an essential metric for performance assessment. The PI System can help with all aspects of OEE, by merging the signals from PLC’s, scheduling systems and lab reports. It can be used to compare assets’ OEE score against each other and to track improvement over time. Whether your goal is to analyze micro stops across your line or to be informed at your daily shift meetings, having data collected and visualized in a PI System can help speed up your decision making, while providing standard and transparent reporting.

This course will cover the standard PI interfaces available to capture the required data from your production line. We will use of PI Manual Logger to capture manual entries like quality checks. Using this data, we will perform the required calculations within Asset Analytics and visualize the OEE metrics in PI Vision.
