Metric 1: The Connectivity Grade (PLC vs. Visual Intelligence)
How do you evaluate OEE connectivity for high-speed lines?
You must evaluate connectivity based on its ability to capture 100% of production truth, which requires a "Visibility Trifecta" of direct PLC signals for timing, operator context for intent, and AI-powered Computer Vision for root cause evidence.
In FMCG or bottling, sensors often miss the "Ghost Losses"—the 30-second jams that occur fifty times a shift.
A high-grade system like Fabrico uses Inefficiencies Zoom-In (Computer Vision) to see what your PLCs miss.
If you are still relying on manual logs or data-only sensors, you are leaving 15% of your capacity in the Hidden Factory.
Metric 2: The Actionability Grade (The CMMS Loop)
A dashboard that turns red in the manager’s office does not fix a misaligned sensor on the shop floor.
Your system earns a high grade only if it natively bridges the gap between production data and maintenance execution.
When Fabrico detects a performance drop, it doesn't just send an alert; it triggers a prioritized Work Order in the Field-Ready CMMS.
This ensures the "Fault-to-Fix" cycle is automated, reducing Decision Latency to near zero.
Metric 3: The Visual RCA Grade (Ending the Blame Game)
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is useless if it is based on "Tribal Knowledge" or subjective shift logs.
High-speed lines move too fast for a human operator to accurately diagnose every micro-stop from memory.
Fabrico’s Inefficiencies Zoom-In flags a high-definition video clip of every downtime event.
This allows Mike (the Tactical Manager) to "Zoom-In" and see if the jam was caused by a worn belt or a material defect.
This visual truth ends the "Blame Game" between shifts and provides the evidence needed for permanent KAIZEN fixes.
Metric 4: The Planning Grade (Maintenance-Aware Scheduling)
A production schedule that ignores machine health is a work of fiction that leads to missed deadlines.
Grade your system on whether it uses Predictive Availability to adjust the planning board in real-time.
Fabrico’s Interactive Planning Board synchronizes with your OEE performance and maintenance backlog.
If a critical asset is trending toward a failure, the board highlights the conflict instantly so Paula (the Strategic Leader) can adjust the plan.
Metric 5: The Governance Grade (Multi-Site Standardization)
For the Strategic Leader, a single-line win is not enough; you need enterprise-wide reliability.
Your system must have a Group-First Architecture that allows you to compare KPIs across different facilities.
Fabrico allows you to push Master PM Templates to ten different sites instantly, ensuring a win in one plant becomes a global standard.
This protects your Residual Asset Value and ensures your entire group is running on the same "Master Data of Inefficiencies."

The Strategic ROI: Reclaiming Your Revenue
For Paula, the business case for Fabrico is built on "Capacity Reclamation" without purchasing new machines.
By identifying "Bad Actor" assets through the 80/20 Rule, she can move her team to Condition-Directed Tasks.
This reduces the Maintenance Cost per Unit and ensures her capital assets reach their full design life.
As you build 12 months of clean operational data, you are also preparing the facility for the Fabrico Agent (AI Roadmap).
