Real-time OEE monitoring implementation for a critical care pharmaceutical manufacturer — integrating with SCADA and CMMS to deliver shift-level production visibility and reliability-linked improvement actions.
The manufacturer was producing critical care pharmaceutical products with high quality and availability requirements. OEE was being tracked manually with significant lag, making it impossible to respond to production performance deterioration in time to recover within the shift. SCADA data existed but was not being used to drive maintenance or production decisions.
Optimal deployed its Optimal360™ platform to aggregate SCADA and CMMS data and calculate real-time OEE at line, shift and asset class level. Loss categorisation was configured to the manufacturer’s production taxonomy, and reliability-linked improvement actions were integrated into the CMMS workflow — connecting production performance data directly to maintenance response.
The manufacturer gained real-time visibility of production performance for the first time. Shift teams could identify and respond to developing losses within the shift, and the reliability improvement workflow created a structured link between production data and maintenance prioritisation.
