Proefficient

Several businesses have varied equipment designed to perform with maximum efficiency and produce the highest output. To help control discrepancies and quality issues, the OEE or Overall Equipment Effectiveness is calculated. However, this calculation entails manual recording and interpretation of data in MS Excel sheets.

Efficiency = Output/Input = (Input-Losses)/ Input

OEE = Availability x Performance x Quality

While OEE is a great tool to calculate output losses for smaller units, the situation becomes cumbersome in large enterprises. Complex losses or efficiency ratios cannot be identified with more machines categorised into line, section or floor.

Therefore, when the data size is huge, companies need a tool that calculates and interprets data more effectively than MS Excel. This is where PROEFFICIENT 1.0can make a difference in identifying and preventing significant production losses.

Felidae Systems has designed Proefficient 1.0, an automated custom web-based tool. Aimed at revolutionising industries worldwide, this online system can pinpoint issues that interfere with maximum efficiency and output.

This web application in the cloud can monitor glitches in real-time during production, responding to ongoing problems right away. It uses a live dashboard to successfully analyse, track and display crucial machine output information through interactive data visuals.

The dashboard gets automatically updated and thereby equips operating managers with instant access to critical data.

• Cloud-based/On-premise deployment
• Everything is configurable, and the User level is defined:Shift Timing, Product Cycle Time, Stoppage Reason and Sub-reason, Quality Reason and Sub-reason.
• Various reports possible:Downtime Reports (duration and frequency) with Pareto analysis of Breakdown Reason, Rejection Reports and Value Addition Reports.

While OEE can detect losses manually, such as availability loss, performance loss, and quality loss, data is still measured manually using MS Excel. This results in the following performance gaps:

• Manual data input and interpretations become impossible when there are more than 100 machines. This leads to 100 excel sheets and multiple internal sheets.
• Transferring files from one point to another becomes complicated, confusing and space-blocking, leaving more room for errors and file misplacing.
• Consolidating plant-level information becomes bulky and unmanageable.

Thus, Proefficient 1.0 can provide the following advantages over OEE:

• There is no scope for manipulation.
• It is adaptable and easy to use.
• Customisations are available to suit the industry type.
• Entry of data can be automated. Manual entry through Privileged User is allowed too.
• The system provides an Audit Trail to maintain a log of the activities performed.
• OEE is calculated automatically, and in turn, Overall Plant Effectiveness (OPE) is also calculated, which is not possible using the traditional method.
• The information is available to senior management anytime and can be accessed from anywhere.
• Comprehensive data sharing at the manual level leaves enough scope for manipulation.

Proficient 1.0 helps achieve the highest production efficiency by ensuring that the right product is at the right place and at the right time. It helps produce the desired output within a productive timeframe, reducing unnecessary worker activity and supervision.

• Enable energy-efficient production
• Integrate quality-directed manufacturing
• Reduce downtime
• Interlock traceability and human error or quality defects
• Detect and eliminate processes that do not add value to the product
• Save time and money while productivity is enhanced
• Optimize assets and lowers inventory
• Lower operation costs
