Improving Manufacturing Operations with Cimlogic’s OEE solution
High levels of downtime and WIP (Work In Progress), low capacity utilisation and high labour costs can all have an impact on business profitability and performance.
Cimlogic’s OEE solution, built on the industry-leading MES TrakSYS™ platform, can be utilised to
- Identify downtime reasons and their root causes
- Non-intrusively involve operators in productivity improvements
- Measure actual versus specified equipment performance
- Focus on the reduction of production losses (time, speed, quality),
- Better understand the cause of equipment failure and improve preventive maintenance,
- Compare performance across multiple lines and products and prioritise the improvement opportunities based on impact.
The ability to measure real-time plant productivity through accurate data collection enables full visibility of operations, leading to business decision-making driven by facts, not assumptions.

OEE for the Data Analyst
OEE provides business intelligence at your fingertips: with key performance data from equipment and processes. It calculates and reports production KPIs, including OEE (Availability, Performance, Quality); time analysis (production rate and cycle time); MTBF and downtime. Comparison reports are available by lines and products.
“With TrakSYS we have the capability to understand our efficiency development opportunities at a granular level. Once identified and prioritised, we can create programs for improvement and develop tools within TrakSYS to help us remain in control. We spent about six months on the planning, and one month on implementation. The system was installed in January, and by February, TrakSYS was already providing us the data we needed.”
Bernard Longmore – VP of Engineering, WaterWipes
“CooperVision’s new OEE system will provide an essential indicator for operations. It will integrate with the production plan to identify if we are ahead or behind schedule and show where we have issues that are causing downtime. The data generated will drive action and make the right diagnosis to provide real root causes and long-term fixes.”
Matthew Bridge – Production Manager, CooperVision
Its key measurable components are Availability, Performance and Quality, measuring downtime, speed and defect losses respectively.
The real time data captured from an Automated OEE system such as production downtime, short stops and speed losses can provide real visibility into the effectiveness of plant machinery and processes needed to make measurable production improvements.
Cimlogic, experts in digital manufacturing solutions and services, have been committed to the Parsec partner program for over 10 years, and are the sole UK Gold Tier integrator of TrakSYS™, designed and developed by Parsec Automation Corp.
