In industrial environments where every second counts, optimising production is not just a priority: it is a necessity. OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a key tool for understanding what is really happening on your packaging line and making informed decisions to improve it.
What is OEE and how is it calculated?
OEE measures the overall efficiency of production equipment by combining three variables:
• Availability: actual operating time vs. planned time.
• Performance: actual working speed vs. theoretical speed.
• Quality: good units produced vs. total units manufactured.
The formula is clear:
OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality
This value, expressed as a percentage, provides a realistic view of your facility’s performance.
How does OEE help in baling lines?
In automated end-of-line systems, such as balers, OEE control allows you to:
• Quickly identify unplanned stoppages or slowdowns.
• Accurately assess the operational efficiency of equipment.
• Detect quality issues in packaging before they become major problems.
Movitec machines: designed to facilitate OEE calculation
Thanks to their open architecture and level of automation, Movitec balers are ready to connect easily with data collection and analysis systems. This integration allows you to:
• Monitor key OEE values in real time.
• Detect deviations immediately.
• Implement corrective actions with reliable data.
Optimise processes and reduce costs
Having a clear view of efficiency helps you improve processes and make decisions that will reduce operating costs, minimise downtime and increase the final quality of the product.
At Movitec, we don’t just design machines, we provide comprehensive solutions to make your plant more efficient.
