Real-time OEE optimization

Maximum transparency, minimum downtime

Leveraging IoT and smart factory systems to enhance overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and streamline operations

Boost your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in real time—with data-driven transparency and secure cloud infrastructure on STACKIT. Identify losses immediately, respond automatically, and simultaneously protect your sensitive production data in a sovereign, European cloud.

Challenge: Complex OEE analyses in manual processes

In many plants, OEE assessment still relies on post-process reports, Excel spreadsheets, or manual shift evaluations. These factors consume time, tie up skilled personnel, and leave valuable potential untapped.

Skills shortage

Complex OEE analyses require qualified specialists, who are often lacking in many plants—resulting in relevant sources of loss going undetected.

Incompletely recorded downtime

Micro-stops, brief interruptions in the cycle, and drops in speed are often not recorded at all in manual evaluations.

Legacy IT and data silos

Heterogeneous machine fleets, outdated control systems, and siloed solutions make it difficult to implement end-to-end real-time monitoring across production lines and locations.

Security and compliance pressures

OEE-related production data is business-critical and must be protected while being processed in accordance with regulations such as NIS2 or TISAX.

Measurable added value: Higher OEE, lower costs

With real-time OEE on STACKIT, you directly address the key factors of availability, performance, and quality. This is reflected in your metrics:

  • Up to 15–20% fewer unplanned downtimes: Identify patterns, causes, and recurring issues early on and reduce downtime through predictive maintenance.
  • Higher throughput: Systematically detect speed losses and micro-stops, optimize cycle times, and increase the number of quality-compliant units per shift.
  • Less scrap, lower energy consumption: Control quality- and energy-related processes based on real-time data and sustainably reduce scrap, rework, and energy consumption.
  • Scalable benefits: Roll out a standardized OEE model to additional lines and plants once established, and leverage synergies across the entire group.

Solution: Make OEE visible and controllable in real time

Rely on an OEE platform that consolidates machine, operational, and quality data in real time—securely hosted on STACKIT. Use AI analytics and dashboards to automatically detect downtime and make OEE, availability, and performance transparent across all lines. Integrate existing systems (MES, ERP, QA) via open interfaces and automate GRC and compliance reporting, such as for NIS2. STACKIT’s robust cloud infrastructure protects your production data and supports stable, resilient operations even in critical production environments.

Competitive Advantage: A Transparent Data Foundation Instead of a Black Box

Those who have a better understanding of their OEE produce more stably, predictably, and cost-effectively. With STACKIT, you secure these advantages without compromising on data sovereignty.

Protection of sensitive production data

Protect critical data in a sovereign cloud infrastructure with high resilience and KRITIS-certified reliability.

European legal and compliance security

Benefit from GDPR-compliant processing in European data centers and avoid risks associated with extraterritorial access and legislation such as the US CLOUD Act.

Standardized and scalable

Use a unified tech stack to harmonize OEE evaluations across locations and quickly integrate new plants.

Collaborative ecosystem

Combine specialized OEE and analytics solutions from the STACKIT partner network with the Schwarz Group’s stable cloud infrastructure.
