OEE analytics platform from shop floor to ERP

Line-level real-time efficiency metrics instead of delayed manual reporting.

Mid-size manufacturing plant (anonymized)Manufacturing100–200 employees

Problem

OEE data was collected via Excel and nightly batch reports. Maintenance planning was reactive; downtime root causes were analyzed days later.

Solution

A single data pipeline from shop floor to management with IoT gateway, MES adapter, time-series store, and OEE dashboard.

Architecture

Edge gateway collects sensor data, stream processor normalizes, analytics store computes OEE, dashboard API serves metrics.

1. Edge IoT gateway (OPC-UA / MQTT)

2. Stream processor & deduplication

3. Time-series analytics store

4. OEE dashboard & alert API

Timeline

Site discovery

2 weeks

Line inventory, sensor points, MES API.

Pilot line

8 weeks

Gateway, stream pipeline, OEE MVP.

Expansion

6 weeks

Additional lines, maintenance alert rules.

Go-live

Training, SLA, hypercare.

Challenges

· Limited digital outputs on legacy machines

· Network outages during night shifts

· OEE definition differences across lines

Business impact

Production leadership can make line-level efficiency decisions same-day. Maintenance gained early-warning intervention capacity.

ROI

Investment payback in 14 months through efficiency gains (internal calculation).

Lessons learned

· OEE definitions should be clarified per line in workshops.

· Edge gateway offline buffer is critical — prevents data loss during network outages.
