Realisation
- ZentNodeOEE adapters capture signals from the packaging machines in real time, including:
- production speed,
- unit numbers (good/n.i.O.),
- running and downtimes of the machines.
- The data is stored on a ZentEdge server, which provides an SQL database.
- The key figures of availability, performance and quality are visualised via dashboards, supplemented by reports for detailed analyses.
- The solution enables easy scaling to additional machines or production lines without interrupting ongoing operations.
Added value
- Real-time transparency: production problems can be recognised and rectified immediately.
- Data-based optimisation & increased efficiency: Long-term analyses of the OEE data leads to a continuous improvement of the processes, minimising downtimes and increasing productivity.
- Cost efficiency thanks to short installation time: The installation was completed in just a few hours without any changes to the machine controls, and the solution was implemented without interrupting production.
- Flexibility & scalability: The modular ZentNodeOEE adapters allow the system to be easily extended to other machines.
Additional application options
- Assembly lines: Monitoring efficiency in the production of consumer goods, e.g. electrical appliances or furniture.
- Textile production: Measurement of machine running times and production quality for weaving machines or printing processes.
- Logistics centres: monitoring the availability and performance of automated sorting systems.
- Paper industry: Analysing efficiency in the production of packaging materials such as cardboard.
- Plastics processing: OEE measurement for injection moulding or extrusion machines.
- Electronics production: Monitoring the production performance of automated assembly systems.
