Correct Data Entry: Plausibilisation

validate oee data
Whether OEE data is gathered (and entered) manually, semi-automatic or fully automated, our experience is that it usually contains a lot of errors. We included several types of provisions to make sure the data is checked and tested for correctness or plausibility whenever possible. Since most of the databases we convert contain malicious data, we also provide mechanisms to clean up such databases.
  • Handles exceeding of maximum speed by actual output in a correct manner, not generating incorrect charts
  • Intelligent Algorithms detect data that may not be correct or plausible.
  • Provides mechanisms to clean up incorrect data form imported databases.
  • Structural mistakes, such as maximum speed defined too low, can be adapted automatically.
  • Visual indicators detect and identify data that is not plausible to be correct.
  • Generating information based on invalid data will be detected to prevent erroneous charts etc.
  • Validation of large amounts of data (e.g. after data import)
  • No ‘lost time’ due to closed timeline

How does OEE Coach provides reliable and validate data? 

  • All entered data is immediately checked for mistakes or plausibility
  • Immediate feedback is given on (plausible) data-errors
  • Erroneous data can be retrospectively corrected by authorized users
  • Selected range of data (e.g. machine x during period y) can be automatically checked
  • Data can be locked after validation, i.e. by team leader
  • After validation, authorized users can lock shift-data
  • Master-data such as maximum speed, shift durations etc. can be locked
  • For ease of use, user rights can be defined in ‘roles’ where every role has a set of permissions. Individual PC’s can be configured as what machines, shifts and teams to show, in order not to burden the shop floor with irrelevant data.

    Data Crunching

    Standard filter OEE Coach

    Filter Data

    Reports, charts and other data processing can be filtered on any cross-section of:

    • Machine/Group/Line/department/factory: free to define
    • Date-range: Pre-set (e.g. ‘Last Month’) or free-range
    • Shift
    • Team
    • Where applicable:
    • Activity
    • Activity type
    • Product
    • Product type
    • Allows multiple KPI calculations (according to OEE Industry Standard):
      • OEE (excluding non- and un-scheduled time)
      • OEE Solitair (excluding non/un-scheduled time and Line Restraints)
      • OOE (including non/un-scheduled time and Line Restraints)
      • TEEP (Including all time 24×7)
    Group Data By

    Data Grouping

    • Allows grouping per shift, day, week and month
    • Reports and charts showing a progress will do this by aggregating data per chosen time span:

    e.g. you may see how your OEE evolves

    • from shift to shift
    • from day to day
    • from week to week, or
    • from month to month.

    This gives you the right ‘resolution’ to get enough information, yet not too much detail.

    helplines

    Help Lines

    Projects different helplines such as:

    • Trend
    • Best individual Shift in the given timeframe
    • Best Day/Week/Month 
    • Highest-Lowest: Per group e.g. week, what was the highest and lowest value? Showing the spreading. 
    • Best of Best: The best availability in a shift x best Performance x best quality. They may not have occurred in the SAME shift, but they did occur. This gives a hint about the capability of the machine.
    • Andon lines: preset upper and lower values where we expect the OEE to be in between: Shows positive and negative deviations.

      OEE Coach is an important enabler for the shopfloor team to report where the effectiveness inhibitors are, what they need, and where the opportunities are. Sharing information is key! 

      Easy and meaningful Analyses

      It doesn’t makes sense to register data, when there is barely data-crunching possible to gain the right insights. The operations team wants to eliminate the losses that reduce the value creation of the equipment.

      OEE COACH strives to give answers to any relevant question about occurring losses. It has four types of data-processing:

      Features of Charts and Reports in OEE Coach

      Aggregating charts

      Bring loads of data back to one chart to give a resume; give insights at a glance.

      In-Time charts

      How is the development in time; data will be aggregated per shift, per day, per week or per month.

      Aggregating reports

      Sum- and group loads of data in order to gain more insight in underlying numbers.

      In-Time reports

      Shuffle data in a way the actual or grouped data allow a more understandable way of presentation.

      Easy Reporting with Pre-defined Documents

      OEE Periode report
        • Shift Report giving full information about a shift
        • Period Report giving full information about a selected periode of time

          Andon Chart

          Static Chart

          Shows at a glance the status of a series of machines i.e. a department, factory etc.

          The green and red markers give the preset OEE values: When the machine is within the range it shows yellow. Above is green, below is red.

          The lower chart is a different presentation: Here we also see the occurring losses.

          Availability Pareto’s

          Static charts.

          …on Time

          The first Pareto shows an analysis on the occurrence in TIME of the selected type of activities. Here we have blended out the Production time to just see the losses.

          …on Ocurrence

          The second chart shows the same activities, but now sorted on their occurrences: how often did it happen?

          …on ‘Mean Time To’

          Next analysis is the Pareto on Average duration. How long does this activity takes ON AVERAGE?

            A powerful overview giving quick insight in the factories dynamics.

            At this machine, every 1:29 Hrs, it waits 21 min. And also, every 2:10 Hrs, it is 19 min in breakdown. And once per shift, there is a 34 min problem in the throughput of the line… wow, and this is not an exceptional machine!

            Activities in Time

            This chart allows to track any activity in time, and compare it to one or more other activities.

              Product Effectiveness

              Static Chart.

              Shows performance and quality of a product when it runs (so no availability losses). In this way ‘difficult’ products are easy to detect.

               

                When a product runs on two different machines, differences in effectiveness become visible.

                  Localization

                  hot-swap for multiple languages
                  Successfully working on the shop floor is best done in the local language. But which one should that be?

                  In a European factory we counted 23 different languages on the shop floor!

                  Therefore, OEE Coach is designed to swap seamlessly from one language to the other.

                  • English
                  • French
                  • German

                  Remote Access of Data

                  centralized oee database
                  Whether you store your data in the cloud, on a local server or abroad, it can be configured so you will be able to access and analyze the data from any place you like via the internet.

                  Stable & Fast

                  Stable Operation

                  OEE Software in general will be used in sometimes though environments. And yet it has to remain reliable. Our database design, the way we access the database remotely, the way we keep the data integrity safe; all provides a solid operation. And even if you might get struck by an unexpected event: our content- and technical specialists will provide a solution to keep you going.

                  Fast data-processing

                  • Can process years of data in seconds
                  • Can draw even the most complex charts and reports in seconds

                  OEE and SPC Integration

                  oee & spc integration
                  OEE measures- and visualizes phenomena of lost effectiveness on the machine.

                  But below the surface we may discover the slowly drifting of product- or process characteristic, ultimately leading to OEE losses. That is the field of SPC.
