OEE software that reads the equipment you already have.

The OEE Engine works out availability, performance and quality for every machine, line and site from the Historian's record. Monitor production live and see how long each stop lasted.

Some of the people we've built with

  • Press 2 faulted 09:40
  • Response so far Historian logged Lost minutes counted OEE updated

A machine stopped twice yesterday. By Monday nobody agrees how long it was down, or whether it counts.

See how long each stop lasted before the meeting starts.

Old way

OEE is a spreadsheet rebuilt by hand every week, and each plant counts availability a little differently.

New way

the Historian records every state and count as it happens, and the OEE Engine calculates the number from them the same way every time.

  • Roll a machine up to its line, area and site, or compare any two date ranges.

The Modules that work out OEE

How a stop becomes a number you can act on

Each Module does one job, in this order.

1 It connects

  • Line PLC
  • SCADA

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. HistorianKeeps every state, count and stop with its time and asset. Nothing to reconstruct.
  2. Asset RegistryHolds the site, area, line and machine tree the numbers roll up through.
  3. OEE EngineWorks out availability, performance and quality for each machine, then rolls them up to line, area and site.
  4. Investigation EngineTurns a stop that keeps happening into a case with its causes, its fix and its lesson.
  5. PlannerWakes when a machine stops and proposes which jobs move.

3 What you get

  • Press 2 availability, this week 74%

In customer plants, downtime fell 86% and shorts went from 50 a month to 12.

Real plants, real numbers, first in manufacturing.

  • less downtimeacross seven production facilities 86%
  • customer shorts a monthwithin six months 50 to 12
  • longer planning horizonin a customer deployment 50%
  • facilities on one installationrun by one customer 19
Where these numbers come from

These numbers come from customer deployments, first in manufacturing. We don’t name customers without asking them first. If you want to talk to a customer, ask us and we’ll ask them.

Calculate it the same way, every time

Availability, performance and quality come from the Historian’s record. The Historian keeps downtime history for every asset, for any period. mode40 was started by people who ran plants before they wrote any software.

  • Live status for every asset: running, faulted or idle
  • Four levels of roll-up: asset, line, area and site
  • Compare any two date ranges, side by side
  • Daily snapshots keep the trend, and a backfill fills a range you missed
  • A machine has to be connected before it has a number
