The Relationship Between MES Systems and OEE
As everyone knows, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a measure of manufacturing performance used to assess the efficiency of machines or equipment in the production process. It is a key metric for manufacturers aiming to improve production processes, reduce waste, and minimize downtime.
ciMES (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Execution System) is a widely-used MES (Manufacturing Execution System) developed by ARES, commonly adopted in manufacturing industries. The system connects directly to machines or allows for manual data input during operations to collect data and relay it to process supervisors, enabling full oversight of the entire production process in industrial facilities.
The relationship between MES systems and OEE is that the MES system can calculate OEE directly. MES systems have the capability to collect detailed production-related data and systematically store this information. OEE measures actual production output against the maximum possible output. The OEE value is calculated based on machine or equipment usage data, such as machine downtime, equipment failures, and operator errors—data that is gathered by the MES system. The system tracks the operating time of machinery and records the number of items actually produced, which is then used to calculate OEE. Each factor is computed based on data collected from the entire production process by the MES system.
Therefore, to enhance the production process and increase efficiency, MES systems can calculate OEE more accurately and precisely than manual methods, which are prone to human error in recording. This is a key factor in improving production processes and ensuring the stability of future manufacturing operations.
ARES, a leading provider of ciMES, has developed an advanced MES system capable of collecting a wide range of data points from machines, ensuring comprehensive data collection. Users can export OEE data or view it in real time through the system. It also integrates easily with dashboards for real-time monitoring.
This information can be used to identify production inefficiencies and provides opportunities for improvement through accurate data analysis. It helps manufacturers monitor and improve OEE by providing real-time insights into machine performance.
