Top Reasons for Cloud-based OEE Monitoring



"Measuring KPIs and adapting to the new technological landscape are two needs that manufacturers want to meet for 2019. Often, the cost and permanent nature of such a commitment can be daunting, but the productivity improvement industry is transforming to meet these concerns," said a company spokesperson.

"Cloud-based machine monitoring customers have often been surprised by the benefits they see from taking on the software system. From quick 25% productivity increases, better overall communication and smaller investments than anticipated, it is quickly becoming a shop floor necessity. Better yet, it is also become a shop floor commodity that can be obtained without an on-premise implementation," added the spokesperson.

SFA offers the following top three reasons why OEE monitoring via the Cloud is the best investment for manufacturing production for 2019:

1) Surprising cost - Minimal startup costs and trials are available for Cloud-based users. There are also different features for the data that can be monitored pending on the level that is invested in. Those who just want to monitor machine utilization at first will have a smaller price tag. Needs can be expanded as a familiarity is built with the system to include operator input later to track machine stoppages.

2) Uncompromised utilization improvement - "The preconceived notion that Cloud-based machine monitoring will have limited features is false. Monthly users via the Cloud can still evaluate data to see what is caused by human error, what can be improved with process changes and what machine issues can be addressed with external productivity fixes. The fact remains that whether on-premise or Cloud-based, until you can evaluate utilization, you will never be able to successfully take on projects such as lights out manufacturing. Furthermore, historical data is a key component versus just real-time, which most free monitoring solutions fall short on," said the spokesperson.

3) "Not permanent - Are you unsure of the time commitment or number of machines to include for a machine monitoring project? These are usually deterrents heard when not making the investment, but this is why monthly, Cloud-based monitoring is the best choice. Trying out the software on a few machines before committing is attractive for potential customers. Benching where data is collected on a few machines and comparing that data to other machines not currently being monitored makes monitoring justifiable," said the spokesperson.
