Measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness

With ShopVue’s machine monitoring solutions and OEE software, you can connect directly to your machine's controls. Get 100% accurate status and performance information with minimal effort.

 Do you suffer from:

• Little or no data regarding machine performance?
• Manual data collection and spreadsheets?
• Spotty compliance?
• Inaccessible data locked away in PLCs?
• Different systems for labor and machine tracking?

With ShopVue OEE software, your machines provide the bulk of the data---when the machine starts, when it goes down, how many pieces are produced and much more. We connect directly to the machine's PLC via OPC technology (in the event a machine does not have a PLC, we can tap into an existing circuit such as a light pole). 

The machine data we collect anchors the remaining entries provided by the operator. Operators enter their data using touchscreens or barcode scanners. You can mount a terminal on each machine or place it in a community location.

Here’s a quick look at this shared approach to data collection and the comprehenvive data that results:

ShopVue OEE software completes the story by finalizing labor and machine times for the run. ShopVue then forwards this data, along with final yield and scrap counts, to your ERP.

Imagine:

• Seeing the current state of each machine on a dashboard in your production control office.
• Getting continuous yield and scrap updates throughout the shift.
• Having the data to explain why a run was especially good or bad.
• Knowing the real causes of poor machine utilization.
• Receiving immediate notifications of a spike in scrap. 

OEE software is just one aspect of what ShopVue can do for your manufacturing business.
