OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) is a productivity and performance metric that helps find new inefficiencies and unlock the full potential of manufacturing. OEE helps manufacturers understand how well a machine, a manufacturing process, or a line is running, as well as its yield and efficiency. By improving OEE scores, organizations can optimize productivity, improve efficiency […]

The role of the data historian has changed a lot since the 1980s, and it’s time to rethink how it serves us. Industry 4.0 demands better integration between OT and IT systems, allowing teams to centralize data and extract real-time insights across the entire enterprise. But your average data historian is a roadblock. Monolithic, end-to-end […]

Industrial maintenance…a headache? Yes. Thief of time? Absolutely. Reputation killer? It has its moments! These are the results of relying on a reactive approach to industrial maintenance. Reacting when equipment failures occur repeatedly without warning leads to operational downtime, production delays, and unplanned expenses that come directly out of a company’s profit margins.It’s been a […]
