⚙️ Plastics and rubber ERP · OEE tracking

Know exactly where your machine hours go

Live status for every moulding machine, extruder and press. Every stop gets a reason, every cycle is checked against standard, and every reject is counted. OEE by machine, mould and shift, with lost time shown in money.

What is your real OEE, and what does it cost?

Enter one machine's shift. See availability, performance, quality and OEE, plus the money lost each month at your machine rate. Figures are your inputs, not ours.

FAQ

OEE tracking questions

Answers for owners, plant heads and maintenance.

What is OEE?

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) shows how much of planned production time is truly productive. It is Availability × Performance × Quality. 100% means only good parts, as fast as possible, with no stops.

How is OEE calculated?

Availability is run time divided by planned time. Performance is ideal cycle time × total parts divided by run time. Quality is good parts divided by total parts. Multiply the three.

What is a good OEE for moulding?

Many plants start between 45% and 65% once they measure honestly. 85% is often called world class, but realistic targets depend on mould changes and product mix.

What are the six big losses?

Breakdowns and setups reduce availability; minor stops and slow cycles reduce performance; start-up and production rejects reduce quality.

Do I need new machines to track OEE?

No. Newer machines can share data over Euromap or OPC UA. Older machines can use a simple counter and status sensor, or operators can log on a tablet.

How are downtime reasons captured?

When a machine stops, the operator picks a reason on the tablet. Long stops without a reason are flagged to the supervisor.

Can OEE be shown by mould and product?

Yes. Every count and stop is tied to the job, mould and product running at that time, so you can compare moulds and products.

Does it work for extrusion and rubber presses?

Yes. Extrusion uses metres or kg per hour against a standard rate; rubber presses use cure cycles and cavities.

How long does setup take?

About 5 weeks, including connecting signals and a three-machine pilot.
