Achieve Overall Equipment Effectiveness in Manufacturing with Digital Solutions
Equipment is vital in manufacturing, but to realize its full potential it must be effective. To measure the efficiency of equipment operation, manufacturers rely on a popular composite metric known as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), which is based on three key factors:
- Availability
- Performance
- Quality
Manufacturers consider OEE essential for maximizing productivity, conserving operating expenses, and boosting profit margins. However, traditional OEE management often relies on reactive methods or manual data collection, which may not provide accurate, real-time insights. Consequently, these methods don’t effectively detect inefficiencies and fail to predict potential failures.
Integrating digital technologies such as simulation and digital twins gives manufacturers a proactive, data-driven approach to enhance OEE. Learn more by downloading this white paper, which examines how Ansys’ multiphysics simulation and digital twin solutions can be utilized in manufacturing systems and processes to enhance OEE by improving maintenance schedules, minimizing downtime, and forecasting equipment failures.
