Fabrico is a cloud-based MES and OEE platform for manufacturers, with maintenance management (CMMS) built in. To scope OEE software for your lines, request a demo: a 30 minute conversation with a Fabrico consultant, no commitment, with your data handled under ISO 27001.
Fabrico calculates OEE from live machine data. Each factor shows on the real-time dashboard of our OEE software.
Downtime analytics by cause show your team where to act first. When a stop needs a repair, a technician opens a work order in the built-in CMMS.
No. A camera can measure stations that have no PLC or sensor, such as hand assembly or packing, by counting the output it sees.
Those counts feed the same OEE figures as the machines connected through a PLC.
Machine monitoring software collects data straight from production machines, such as running status, cycle counts and stops, and shows it live. Fabrico adds operator input and calculates OEE from the same data, so you see what share of the planned time produced good parts.
OEE and downtime tracking both start from this data.
OEE software measures how much of the planned production time a machine turns into good units. It multiplies availability, performance and quality and shows the result per machine, line and shift.
Fabrico takes the times and counts from the machines and the stop causes from the operators. The formula, with worked examples, is in our guide to OEE calculation.
You don`t need a specific device to use the QR scanning functionality. You can simply use your mobile pohone camera.
Urgent tasks are scheduled for the same day by default. They are marked by a special Warning icon which makes it difficult to miss it.
CMMS inventory management refers to the process of managing and controlling inventory levels and tracking assets using a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS). It helps maintenance teams track, maintain and control inventory for their operations.
No. Your plan stays in the ERP or planning tool you use today, and Fabrico feeds it live OEE and stop data from the lines. See the OEE and MES overview for what it measures.
There are multiple kind of graphs showing downtime statistics and task distribution per type and status.
You will see live OEE by line and shift, downtime by cause, and machine and production monitoring on the real-time OEE dashboard. Then comes the built-in CMMS: how a technician opens a work order from a stop and how the repair history builds up for each machine.
To read ahead, see our OEE software and downtime tracking software pages.
Fabrico's Task Management & Work Cards feature allows you to effortlessly assign tasks with varying priorities to the right role or employee, ensuring clear accountability and streamlined task distribution for optimized efficiency and productivity.
