Machine Learning and OEE

Machine learning can be a powerful tool for improving OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) in manufacturing. By applying machine learning to the data gathered for each component of OEE—availability, performance, and quality—manufacturers can gain predictive insights, identify patterns, and optimize processes to reduce downtime, boost performance, and improve product quality. Here are some machine learning approaches […]

Input Management and OEE

The Importance of Input Management in Optimizing OEE in Manufacturing In manufacturing, Operational Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a critical metric for assessing how effectively equipment is used. It combines availability, performance, and quality to create a single measure that indicates productivity and highlights areas for improvement. But achieving high OEE scores isn’t just about maintaining […]
