Production execution case studies: OEE and networked logistics

A plan is only worth something if execution is visible. These are the case studies of manufacturers that started seeing equipment losses in real time, and of those that put orders, carriers, docks and invoices in a single flow — driven by data instead of phone calls.

What operations teams say

From the people who run the solution every day.

“Since installing Evocon and rolling it out across the plant, we review every equipment loss daily and know minute by minute what is happening in our factories. OEE has improved by more than 30% compared with last year.”
VASSILIS MAVROIDIS
Production Manager, Papoutsanis
“With AX4 we no longer depend on our transport providers' IT systems to find out where a shipment is.”
JOCHEN MAHLER
Senior Manager Sample Services, BASF

OEE and real-time production control on the shop floor

Automatic capture of downtime, losses and performance per line

Without reliable shop floor data, OEE becomes an estimate and the production meeting becomes an argument about whose numbers are right. These case studies started reviewing equipment losses every day and lifted the metric by up to 39%. First, understand the difference between OEE and MES.

Logistics control tower, freight management and shipment tracking

Order, carrier, dock and invoice in one flow, across a multi-company network

When every carrier has its own portal and its own file, answering “where is the load?” depends on phone calls and email. These case studies brought the whole network into a single dashboard, with real-time tracking and freight audit. See what Siemens Digital Logistics is.

The other layers of production planning

Execution only becomes stable when the plan and the schedule reaching the shop floor are actually feasible.
