Unlocking Greater Efficiency: The Why and How of OEE Implementation
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a metric that has helped many industrial organizations achieve real manufacturing gains and significantly increase profits. OEE has been proven to work but that doesn’t mean that simply calculating your organization’s OEE number or installing OEE software will cause the results you want to materialize. Ultimately it’s not just OEE data that makes a difference — it’s what you do with it.

Greater Mobility for Large Battery Manufacturer in Italy
Quality assurance, progress reports, and product documentation were done through paperwork. The standard MES solution had a hard time connecting to equipment such as simple scales. It was also difficult to implement needed customizations. This all led to more time needed for data entry, delayed communication of issues, delayed solutions, and a lot of hardware to be maintained by the IT department.

Fast Work, Fast ROI in Materials Science
Grantek created a solution for SiO2 that involved both Ignition and Sepasoft’s Business Connector and Web Services modules. SiO2 was scaling up its production process and also investing in a new ERP system. To get maximum value out of the ERP, SiO2 wanted to implement an MES system to improve work-order handling and reconciliation. The solution, built on Ignition and Sepasoft, allowed SiO2 to reduce the number of ERP workstations needed by about 20. This led to significant savings in licensing costs, hardware costs, and IT operating expenses moving forward. Return on investment is expected within one year. And the project was delivered in approximately one year, from requirements-gathering to commissioning. Grantek helped SiO2 develop requirements; handle work-order management, OEE, and recipe management; and tie into the ERP system with Sepasoft.

New SCADA/MES For Supplier to Leading Automakers
At Veoneer’s facility in Goleta, California, the company manufactures advanced night-vision systems for the world’s leading automakers. For supervisory control and traceability, Veoneer used an internally built system in Goleta. Due to a change in the corporation’s structure, this solution was no longer viable and Flexware was asked to develop a solution that replaced and enhanced the previous solution’s functionality with the Ignition platform. Prior to this engagement, Flexware developed a custom MES solution for a different Veoneer facility with the Ignition platform, and word traveled around the organization about how powerful the software is. It was an easy decision to continue the use of Ignition at the Goleta facility.
