Machine Monitoring

Machine monitoring in production gives manufacturers full visibility into machine performance by leveraging advanced data collection and analytics. The process includes capturing machine data, transferring it to a central platform, and analyzing it to drive performance improvements. Using OEE for machine monitoring is a proven way to uncover inefficiencies and improve overall production effectiveness.

The monitored metrics typically include machine status – whether the equipment is running or not. If it is not running, the reason for the current downtime can be identified. Operator efficiency when working with a specific machine can also be monitored. This can be achieved by deploying a manufacturing execution system (MES) in production.

Next-generation solutions go even further by enabling detailed monitoring of energy consumption for each machine.
