No PLC changes. No production stops. How one plant took FANUC CNC lines from 20.03% to 61.66% OEE, scaled to 80 machines in 6 weeks, and what you can copy on Monday.
The starting point
That is what 20.03% OEE means: one fifth of the output the machines could make in the time they were planned to run. Downtime without a reason can’t be priced, ranked or fixed, so the first job was to see every stop.

How the MES and OEE rollout worked
The results after three months
Unclassified downtime fell 73%. Once stops had reasons, the biggest losses were obvious.
96% less time on reports means hours back for the people who solve problems.
No PLC work and no production stops meant 80 machines in 6 weeks.
For your next morning meeting
If the answers take more than a minute to find, your hidden factory is probably bigger than you think.
7 pages, with four questions to ask your own team at the next morning meeting.
Customer name withheld at their request. Implementation partner: Nexus IIOT. Results as reported for the first three months. Extra output becomes profit when you can sell it; if you can’t, the same gain comes back as fewer hours and less overtime.
More in the loss price tag toolkit
Five numbers, then every loss ranked by euros, not minutes.
Seven steps from true OEE to a verified result, starting at the bottleneck.

No. Nothing in the control logic was touched and the lines kept running during the rollout.
Fabrico rolled out the MES and OEE software together with its implementation partner Nexus IIOT.
