MES and OEE Software for ManufacturingKnow why your lines stop. Fix it in the same system.

The OEE dashboard updates while the line runs. Each machine shows its overall equipment effectiveness split into availability, performance and quality, so you can see which of the three is pulling the score down.

• Availability: run time against planned production time, the shift with breaks and non-production time taken out.
• Performance: actual output against what the ideal cycle time allows in the run time, so slow cycles and micro-stops show up.
• Quality: good units against all units produced.
• OEE tracking: each machine over the current shift or a past period, so you can see when a drop began.

OEE is never higher than its weakest factor. When availability holds up but performance drops, the shift lead checks cycle speed before calling maintenance.

For a first estimate before a demo, the OEE calculator prices the gap between your current OEE and your target.

Each stop on a connected machine is recorded with the time it started and how long it lasted. Operators tag the cause of each stop on a tablet or phone, so downtime by cause builds up shift after shift instead of in a spreadsheet at the end of the week.

• Micro-stops detected from the machine signal, including stops too short for anyone to write down
• Downtime by cause, machine and shift, for this week or a past period
• Stop time and slow cycles shown as availability and performance loss in the OEE

That gives your engineers the data for a root cause analysis: which stop, how often, how long and on which shift. For stop reasons and availability in detail, see our downtime tracking software.

OEE, availability, performance and quality figures open in the browser on a desktop or a phone, and Fabrico also runs as iOS and Android apps. A plant manager can check a line from a desk in the office or from a phone on the shop floor.

• Push, in-app and email notifications, with rules for who is told about what
• Dashboards configured for your company's lines, shifts and KPIs
• QR codes on machines that open the machine record and its repair history in one scan
• Interface in English, French, German, Polish and Bulgarian

Supervisors and managers work from one set of figures. The morning meeting starts from the numbers, not from collecting them.

Production monitoring software shows the people who run the shift what each connected line is doing right now. Production tracking takes the count from the machine signal or a line camera, so nobody writes totals on a board every hour.

Line status: running or stopped, how long the current stop has lasted and its cause once the operator tags it.

Live output: units produced on each line so far in the shift, updated as the counts come in.

Shift results: output, stops and OEE per shift, so the incoming shift knows where the last one ended.

Multi-plant view: your plants side by side on one screen, with reports that compare them.

Production monitoring tells you what is happening now. OEE tells you how much of the shift was lost and where, and both come from the same machine data.

A supervisor who sees a line standing still can go there during the stop. Nobody has to wait for the end-of-shift report to find out.

Fabrico calculates OEE from data collected at the machine, not from figures typed in after the shift. Counts and stops carry the time they were recorded, so any figure on the dashboard can be traced to the shift it came from.

Each machine is connected in the way that suits it, and one plant can mix the three options below.

Automated lines: Fabrico reads cycles, stops and output from the line's PLC.

Older or semi-automated machines: a Fabrico IoT device with external sensors collects the production signal.

Manual or hybrid steps: AI cameras count output and detect cycles where there is no machine signal. See how computer vision works.

Every source feeds the same OEE calculation, so lines connected in different ways can be compared side by side. The machine registry gives each connected machine its own record and files, so each signal lands on the right machine.

Our machine monitoring software page covers each connection option and the installation.
