OEE Performance Management Software Platform for Production Lines
Our OEE software enables manufacturing companies to save money by increasing the productivity of their lines. This is achieved through real time monitoring and historical analysis.
Customer Benefits
Manufacturing companies can improve the productivity of their production lines after implementing iLine. This can be achieved by reducing downtime, by ensuring that machines are running at their optimal speeds and by minimising rejects and reworks on individual machines.
Increase Productivity by 5% to 30%
Decrease Downtime
Increase Machine Speeds
Decrease Rejects/Reworks
Manufacturing companies can achieve increases in productivity on their production lines typically of up to 30% by utilising iLine as part of their lean six sigma operational excellence program. Importantly this increase in productivity equates to substantial financial savings and in many plants millions of euros. The system enables manufacturers to monitor in real time and historically what is happening on the factory floor. The software can enable the manufacturers to:
1. Monitor accurately to establish where the greatest losses are occurring.
2. Take action to improve on these issues.
3. Monitor to ensure that these actions taken result in the desired increase in productivity.
Benefits of iLine Software over other OEE Software Systems
No Software Development Cost
When you download and install the software, the software ‘takes you by the hand’ and guides you on the setup for your first machine. The means that the software is fully configurable and requires no programming (or associated costs).
The full software will run indefinitely for a 2 hour time period (reboot required after 2 hours). You can then progress to a free 30 day trail.
No Downtime Required
Typically iLine can be implemented without making any changes to existing machine PLC code. This means that the system can be implemented without causing any downtime on the plant floor.
This is especially beneficial in regulated industries as the software can be implemented without causing any GMP changes.
Prove ROI before you pay
Any manufacturing company can run a free 30 day trial of iLine software.
Over the free 30 day trial the software will provide data to manufacturers to prove a 5% increase in yield or a 5% decrease in downtime over the duration of the trail.
This should equate to a return on investment of approximately 50 to 100 times the software cost for large manufacturers or 10 to 20 times the software cost for smaller manufacturers.
We NEVER encourage companies to pay for our software unless they have first proved this return on investment.
Separation of Business Network and Automation Network
The software runs on an on premise server running Microsoft windows server.
Smaller companies can run the software on a single server on a shared business and automation network (must be on same network as PLC controllers).
Larger companies can run the data acquisition software on a server on the automation network (must be on the same network as PLC controllers) and a separate data storage server on the business network (any user on this network can access the iLine client application on their browser).
Low Risk of Misunderstanding / Disappointment
The full user experience is tested over the 30 day trial before license payment. This means that when the system goes into production that stakeholders are unlikely to have misaligned expectations of how the software works.
Low Cost of Ownership
As your plant changes (i.e. New machines , alarm / events are added or removed) you simply reconfigure the software with minimal automation expertise required.
Due to this low work effort and the low amount of technical expertise required, manufacturing companies can manage execution of changes to the system within their organisation. This means they avoid the cost of engaging with and paying for third party / vendor developers to make changes to their system.
