Point85 Overall Equipment Effectiveness

The Point85 Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) applications enable:

* collection of equipment data from multiple sources to support OEE calculations or general purpose data acquisition

* resolution of a collected data value into an availability reason or produced material quantity to provide input to the performance, availability and quality components of OEE

* calculation of the OEE key performance indicator (KPI) for the equipment using an optional work schedule for defining the scheduled production time

* monitoring of equipment availability, performance and quality events

Sources of equipment availability, performance and quality event data include:

* Manual: web browser-based data entry

* OPC DA: classic OLE for Process Control (OPC) Data Acquisition (DA)

* OPC UA: OLE for Process Control Unified Architecture (UA)

* HTTP: invocation of a web service via an HTTP request

* RMQ Messaging: an equipment event message received via a RabbitMQ message broker

* JMS Messaging: an equipment event message received via an ActiveMQ message broker

* MQTT Messaging: an equipment event message received via an MQTT message server

* Database Interface Table: a pre-defined table for inserting OEE events

* File Share: a server hosting OEE event files

* Modbus: a Modbus master communicating with its slaves.

* Cron Job: a cron job scheduled to execute at specified points in time

The Point85 applications supporting OEE are:

* Designer: a GUI application for defining the plant equipment, data sources, event resolution scripts, manufacturing work schedule, availability reasons, produced materials and units of measure for data collectors. The designer also includes a dashboard and trending capabilities.

* Collector: a Windows service or Unix deamon to collect the equipment event data and store it in a relational database

* Monitor: a GUI application with a dashboard to view the current equipment OEE and status

* Operator: a GUI application for manual entry of equipment events

* Operator Web: a web-application for manual entry of equipment events

* Operator Mobile: an Android and IOS application for manual entry of equipment events

In addition, two GUI test applications assist in the development of an OEE solution:

* HTTP requester and message publisher

* Front end GUI for a data collector
