OEE Software and Interesting Extras

Monitor-Box does more than just real-time OEE monitoring as performed by most OEE software manufacturing. In addition to the regular functions, it registers who is on the machine, what product or project is being worked on as well.

Smart card readers register project and operator. The identification of projects, operators that drag the overall score down allows proper management and help improving results.

It records how much electricity is being used. The goal of every manager deciding to implement an OEE monitoring system is cost price control. M-Box’s cost price calculation module calculates the cost price automatically after each production batch based on the user’s preferred settings.

The push notifications in the M-Box system alert relevant people in the organization on shop-floor issues, such as:
– Unscheduled machine downtime
– Electricity consumption when machine is idle
– Cycle time deviation (either upwards or downwards)
– A-typical electricity consumption (indicating a defect developing that may still be avoided)
– Maintenance service due (based on preferred running hours or cycles completed schedules)
