Comparing OEE Systems - technical + operational factors

Not all OEE systems offer the same functionality. In fact, not all OEE systems measure OEE in the same way and there are various ways in which the information generated by the system can be presented.

From a technical point of view, it is wise to compare OEE Systems based on the following specifications:

• Fault tolerant local data storage options
• Thin client version availability
• Database design (including shared options with CMMS etc.)
• Hosting capability
• Development language

From an operational standpoint it is worth comparing OEE Systems based on the following functionality:

• Data Acquisition – Manual, Non PLC, and full PLC link options
• Browser based dashboards
• Andon Displays
• Business Alerts
• Smart/Android Output
• OEE Improvement Agenda
• Links to Maintenance Works Order creation

Companies considering a group-wide roll out should also compare OEE Systems for the following criteria:

• Multi-Lingual options
• Integration capabilities
• Configurable reporting
• Localised System Support
