OEE

increase equipment uptime

Make every minute of production count

The Pain

Many factories measure downtime and output, but not with enough detail to truly see where performance is lost. Micro stoppages, slow cycles, and short unplanned halts are often invisible in traditional reporting. This leads to the OEE numbers look acceptable on paper, but real productivity being far below potential.

Why it Matters?

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the gold standard for measuring manufacturing productivity combining availability, performance, and quality into a single percentage. But without understanding why each component drops, improvement efforts stall. Even a small dip in OEE can translate to thousands of lost units per year and significant revenue leakage.

Micro-stoppages frequently fall under the “Minor Stops” subcategory in OEE’s performance component. Studies show that speed loss due to micro-stops can cut OEE by 9–15%, with potential for even greater impact due to measurement challenges.

How Deltia solves it

Deltia goes beyond top-level OEE metrics by giving you the tools to pinpoint losses and act fast:

Video analysis: See exactly what happens on the shop floor during downtime events.
Stoppages over time: Spot recurring short stops and patterns that erode availability.
Root causing: Link stoppages to underlying process, equipment, or operator issues for targeted improvements.

On the shopfloor

OEE is calculated as Availability × Performance × Quality. Cameras measure Availability directly through uptime and stoppages, and Performance through actual cycle times versus ideal. Quality usually comes from scrap or test data. Always-on visibility and alerts are a proven lever for uptime. Deloitte reports predictive, sensor-driven approaches can increase equipment uptime and availability by 10–20%.
