From recovered production capacity

"We went from manually recording OEE on spreadsheets to real-time dashboards in 2 weeks. Our OEE jumped from 62% to 79% in 4 months — the shift comparison feature alone identified a 14% performance gap we never knew existed."

Rajesh Kumar
Plant Manager, AutoTech India

"The Six Big Losses breakdown was a game-changer. We discovered that micro-stops accounted for 22% of our performance losses — something we couldn't see before. Addressing just that one category recovered $380K in throughput."

Sarah Lindberg
Operations Director, Nordic Precision AB

"The predictive OEE forecasting warned us about a bearing failure 3 days before it would have shut down our packaging line. One preventive intervention saved us an estimated $120K in lost production and emergency repair costs."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about iFactory's OEE analytics capabilities.

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measures the percentage of planned production time that is truly productive. It's calculated as Availability × Performance × Quality. Availability tracks how much scheduled time the equipment actually ran. Performance measures whether it ran at its designed speed. Quality counts how many good parts were produced versus total output. A perfect OEE of 100% means manufacturing only good parts, as fast as possible, with zero downtime. iFactory calculates OEE automatically in real time from sensor and machine data — no manual data entry required.

OEE benchmarks vary significantly by industry. For discrete manufacturing, 60% is typical, 85% is considered world-class, and only about 3% of manufacturers consistently achieve 85%+. Industry-specific averages include automotive at approximately 75%, electronics in the low 80s, pharmaceuticals around 35-40% due to stringent compliance requirements, and medical devices at about 78%. Context matters enormously — a 70% OEE in pharma may be outstanding while the same score in continuous processing could indicate issues. iFactory's built-in benchmarking compares your performance to relevant industry peers, not generic targets.

The Six Big Losses framework categorizes all production losses into: (1) Equipment Failures — unplanned breakdowns that stop production, (2) Setup & Changeover — time lost switching between products or batches, (3) Micro-Stops — brief interruptions under a few minutes like jams or sensor trips, (4) Reduced Speed — running below the maximum designed speed, (5) Startup Rejects — defective parts produced during warm-up or changeover, and (6) Production Defects — reject parts during steady-state production. iFactory automatically classifies every loss event into these categories and ranks them by impact so you can focus improvement efforts where they deliver the most value.

iFactory connects to your existing infrastructure through multiple methods — PLC/SCADA direct integration via OPC-UA and Modbus protocols, IoT sensor gateways for retrofit on older equipment, manual operator input through touchscreen terminals, and API integration with existing MES or ERP systems. No production disruption is required for installation. Most plants achieve full data connectivity within 1–2 weeks, and our edge computing devices can pre-process data locally before sending to the cloud for advanced analytics.

Yes — iFactory provides multi-level drill-down from plant-wide OEE all the way down to individual machine or even component-level. You can filter and compare by shift (morning, afternoon, night), production line, individual machine, product/SKU, operator, and time period. This granularity reveals patterns like specific products causing more changeover losses, certain shifts underperforming due to staffing, or individual machines dragging down line-level OEE. All comparisons update in real time with exportable reports in Excel, PDF, or CSV format.

A single production line can go live in as little as 3–5 days with our plug-and-play IoT gateways. A full facility deployment with multiple lines, SCADA integration, and custom dashboards typically completes in 2–4 weeks. Enterprise rollouts across multiple sites take 6–10 weeks. The cloud-native platform requires zero on-premise servers. We recommend tracking OEE for at least 30 days to establish an accurate baseline — many plants discover their actual OEE is 10–15% lower than assumed once properly measured.
