Evocon’s software for discrete manufacturing breaks OEE down by product, station, shift, and operator. See where performance drops to keep your orders on schedule.
When you need to oversee production runs of many different products, losses hide in the details. How much time do changeovers cost? Did your operators record every stop that happened? What is the total time lost per product? And per shift? By combining automatically collected machine data with operator inputs, Evocon’s cloud-based software gives you a real-time overview of production losses and helps answer these questions.
Meconet is a family-owned international manufacturer with operations across Northern Europe. They produce demanding metal components, such as springs, stampings, deep drawn products, and qualified assembly works used in electrical switches, locking devices, cars, and more.
The main challenge was machine utilization. Some machines were scheduled to run but were sitting idle, and it was difficult to identify which issues caused the biggest productivity losses. Another challenge was reactive maintenance: operators repeatedly reported issues, but the team had no prioritized list to help them focus on the most important ones. After setting up Evocon, the production engineer started reviewing production data and sharing reports with the team. Operators met every Tuesday to discuss problems from the previous week and review goals for the current one. Within five months, productive work time increased from 24% to 36% — a 50% improvement.
“The main achievement of Evocon is that we finally have data that we can trust and use.”
Evocon’s software for discrete manufacturing helps you monitor production performance by product and production order. When a customer complaint arises, use Evocon’s downtime tracking data to investigate when the issue occurred, which machine was involved, and what was happening on the production line.
Production orders show an estimated completion time based on live production data when a target quantity is set. You can monitor production progress and see whether a changeover runs long or an unplanned breakdown puts an order at risk. This real-time visibility gives your team time to react. Use Evocon’s integrations to connect with your ERP so you can pull orders and targets automatically, reducing manual data entry and helping protect on-time delivery.
The sensor is placed to detect products on a production line or machine and connected to Evocon's IIoT device.
The device is connected to the internet which sends collected data to Evocon's OEE software for analysis.
Collected data is displayed on the shop floor where operators can use it to defeat inefficiency.
