Proof story · European defence manufacturer · Manufacturing performance platform · MES, OEE, CMMS & AI OEE from 20% to 62% in three months
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
For every scheduled hour, 12 minutes of good parts
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 the stops.

How the MES and OEE rollout worked
What made speed possible
The results after three months
About three times the good output from the same machines
- 1
Name the stops before you fix any
Unclassified downtime fell 73%. Once stops had reasons, the biggest losses were obvious.
- 2
Stop reporting, start acting
96% less time on reports means hours back for the people who solve problems.
- 3
Scale without stopping the lines
No PLC work and no production stops meant 80 machines in 6 weeks.
For your next morning meeting
Four questions to ask your own team
If the answers take more than a minute to find, your hidden factory is probably bigger than you think.
- What share of our downtime has no reason attached?
- How many hours a week go into building OEE reports?
- Which of our lines could connect without touching a PLC?
- What does one minute cost on our bottleneck? Find out

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.

What does one minute of downtime cost on your line?
Five numbers, then every loss ranked by euros, not minutes.

FAQs
FANUC CNC lines at a European defence manufacturer, scaled to 80 machines in 6 weeks.
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.
