OEE Software for your Production

autfactory collects production data directly on the shop floor, calculates your OEE in real time and identifies where downtime, cycle time losses, and quality losses occur.

OEE software that shows the root causes rather than just metrics

autfactory integrates machine, production, quality, and trouble data in real time. This allows you not only to view your OEE, but also to identify where performance is being lost, the underlying causes, and specific areas for optimization.

  • monitor OEE, machine status, and production output in real time
  • analyze Downtime, Malfunctions, Cycle Time Losses, and Scrap
  • integrate old and new machines into a single database
  • compare individual machines, production areas, and locations

Business case & ROI: How much does 1% OEE really matter?

Even small improvements can have a big impact: +1% OEE can generate five- to six-figure annual savings, depending on the line, without the need for new machinery.

Typical quick wins

In practice, these levers appear particularly frequently among the top losses:

  • Micro-stops
    “Small interruptions” are often the biggest hidden performance loss.
  • Unplanned downtime
    Identify the main causes of disruption, eliminate recurring issues
  • Material flow
    Material shortages, queues, approvals, and intralogistics
  • Quality rework
    Make rework visible as a time-consuming activity (don’t just count rejects)
  • Setup time
    Standardize, setup checklists, make missing parts/tools visible
Schedule an OEE Quick Check

Why autfactory provides a better foundation for OEE

Excel and BI solutions can display key performance indicators. autfactory links the analysis directly to machines, control systems, and the actual process on the shop floor. Existing MES, ERP, MDE/BDE, or BI systems do not necessarily need to be replaced; instead, they can be supplemented in a targeted manner.

Advantages over MES

  • ready to go in no time
  • simple
  • cost-effective

Advantages over Excel

  • automatic data import
  • no manipulation through manual entries

Advantages over MDE/BDE

  • more than just status data

Advantages over BI Dashboards

  • pre-built OEE Logic
  • can be expanded with custom dashboards

autfactory combines industrial software with many years of experience in machinery, control systems, test benches, and real-world production processes.

Existing machines, control systems, and software solutions can be integrated into the data collection process.

Compare OEE, performance, downtime, and quality across individual machines, production lines, departments, and sites.

An OEE metric alone does not improve a process. autfactory shows when, where, and why performance is being lost.

From machine connectivity to live operation, initial transparency can be achieved within just a few weeks.

Structured production data provides the foundation for Predictive Quality, artificial intelligence, and future process optimization.

OEE Live-Dashboard

The OEE live dashboard shows the current status of your production at a glance. Availability, performance, and quality are displayed alongside machine status, production output, and the daily target.

Key features:

  • OEE, availability, performance, and quality in real time
  • current machine and production line status
  • daily target compared with actual production output
  • real-time status of all connected machines
  • overview of individual machines or entire production areas
  • freely selectable analysis periods

Production performance dashboard

The production performance dashboard shows whether machines and production lines are operating at the intended speed. Target and actual cycle times, production quantities, and speed losses make performance deviations visible at an early stage.

autfactory makes the following KPIs visible:

  • target and actual cycle times in direct comparison
  • production quantity per hour, shift, or day
  • performance of individual machines and entire production lines
  • detection of speed and cycle time losses
  • cycle time by component, product, or variant
  • comparison of different products on individual machines
  • transparency into bottlenecks and performance fluctuations
  • predefined and freely selectable comparison periods

Quality and
scrap dashboard

Quality losses reduce actual production performance. autfactory links quality data with machines, products, orders, and shifts. This allows you to identify where scrap occurs and how quality develops over time.

Key features:

  • good parts and defective parts in direct comparison
  • scrap rate by machine, product, and variant
  • quality analysis by shift, team, or order
  • comparison of the scrap rate over freely selectable periods
  • identification of recurring quality fluctuations
  • quality losses as a component of OEE
  • comparison of machines, products, and production conditions
Analyze quality data and reject rates

Downtime and fault analysis

autfactory shows when a fault occurred, how long it lasted, and how often it recurs. This allows you to identify not only downtime, but also the main causes behind production losses.

Key features:

  • top five causes of downtime by duration and frequency
  • Pareto chart of the largest causes of production losses
  • exact time and duration of each fault
  • classification of alarms (robotics, mechanics, electrics, etc.) and categorization as errors, information, or notifications
  • comparison of recurring faults across different periods
  • targeted prioritization of particularly costly faults
Analyze the causes of downtime in detail

Shift and team comparison

Compare OEE, production performance, downtime, and quality across different shifts and teams. The integrated shift calendar makes it easy to map shifts, breaks, maintenance activities, and planned downtime.

Key features:

  • OEE, performance, and quality by shift or team
  • comparison of cycle time, production quantity, and scrap
  • simple planning of shifts, breaks, and maintenance activities
  • assignment of teams to shifts
  • creation of recurring shift models as templates
  • objective basis for shift handovers and shopfloor meetings

AI assistant for production analytics

The AI assistant enables users to analyze production data using natural language. Instead of manually creating reports, users ask a specific question and immediately receive the relevant analysis or visualization.

Example: “Show me the most common causes of faults during the last shift as a pie chart.”

The AI assistant analyzes the available data and automatically generates the requested analysis.

Key features:

  • ask questions in natural language
  • automatic creation of charts and analyses
  • analysis by machine, product, shift, or period
  • fast ad hoc analyses without manual report creation
  • easy access to complex production data
  • support for root cause analysis and decision-making
  • future-ready foundation for further AI applications
