Optimise Performance With Process Manufacturing OEE
For process manufacturers, the gap between planned and actual output is where margin is made or lost. That’s why Aptean’s overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) software is designed specifically for your industry-helping you close that gap. It connects with your shop floor systems to deliver a real-time picture of how your large or complex operation is performing, enabling you to drive tangible improvement.
Process Manufacturing OEE, Purpose-Built for Plants Like Yours
Not every OEE solution is built with your segment in mind. Here's a closer look at what makes ours different—and how it can level up your manufacturing operations.
What Our Customers Say About Aptean Process Manufacturing OEE Solutions
The real measure of any software is the results it delivers in practice. Here's what customers who've implemented our solution have to say.
“Aptean Process Manufacturing OEE has exceeded our expectation in that the visibility in the system has provided a great return on investment through improved material variances and improved uptime.”
Rob Hodgetts, Director of Operational Technology, Monogram Foods
Functionality Fit for the Shop Floor
From real-time performance tracking to structured continuous improvement, our solution gives your teams the tools to reduce losses, maintain quality and hit their targets—shift after shift.
Performance Monitoring
Move beyond measuring OEE to actively managing it. Real-time data from your lines gives your team the visibility to identify losses—from batching all the way through to packaging—and respond before they compound. Track yield, monitor product costing and improve key metrics on the fly to protect plan attainment and reduce manufacturing costs.
Continuous Improvement
Structure and sustain improvement initiatives across your facility with tools that quantify opportunity in financial terms. Campaigns are guided by the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control (DMAIC) methodology, a proven framework for closing the loop between potential improvements and measurable results.
Analytics
An intuitive business intelligence interface lets your teams build reports and dashboards without technical expertise. Production and quality data can be analysed across multiple dimensions—including product, line, shift, crew and run length—to surface variability patterns, prioritise efforts and drive down both overtime and scrap.
Quality and Compliance Management
Automatically collect quality test results from line devices like weigh scales, check weighers and metal detectors. Our solution also offers support for pH, brix, torque and other instrumentation. And beyond data collection, it automates Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) procedures, work permits and other safety processes to reduce the administrative burden while keeping your operation compliant.
Sanitation and Changeover Management
Track changeover times, manage overruns and optimise sanitation efficiency with tools built for the realities of process manufacturing. Monitor clean-in-place (CIP) times to minimise production disruption. Plus, countdown clocks give your team real-time visibility into how tank changes are affecting schedule attainment.
Staff and Task Management
Manage the deployment of labour across shifts and lines to keep staffing costs under control. A collaboration dashboard gives every team member on the floor instant visibility into messages, tasks and notes—creating an open platform for issue tracking and resolution that keeps your operation moving efficiently.
