As process engineers know, a significant portion of their work involves analyzing data and tirelessly seeking ways to optimize manufacturing operations. It’s a bit like being a detective, but instead of solving grand mysteries, they’re pinpointing and resolving inefficiencies on the shop floor. A crucial piece of evidence in the manufacturing process improvement journey? Downtime.

A maintenance and reliability engineer is constantly focused on keeping a manufacturing plant running smoothly. It’s a dynamic environment where efficiency is key. Two fundamental practices that underpin success are understanding downtime tracking and implementing preventive maintenance. Having the right tools, like Ekho Klarity, makes these tasks much more manageable and impactful.

So, you’re on a mission to hit those manufacturing KPIs out of the park, right? You’ve probably already tapped into the magic of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) for smart production monitoring. It’s brilliant for giving you the lowdown on your equipment’s performance. But here’s a little secret: to truly ace your manufacturing efficiency and production optimization, OEE needs a trusty sidekick. And that sidekick? The humble, yet incredibly mighty, digital checklist.

Syensqo, a global leader in specialty polymers, has selected Ekhosoft to implement its overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) solution across 41 production units. This partnership will boost productivity and support Syensqo’s sustainability goals, aligning with their vision for growth and efficiency.

This is the first in a series of blogs that will take a closer look at the operational performance management (OPM) category of industrial manufacturing software systems and how it can help you achieve your business goals.

These reports demonstrate that our internal controls have been assessed by an independent audit firm and that we are compliant with industry standards for safely and securely handling our customers’ data. 

By prioritizing simplicity without compromising on functionality, the right OPM solution allows organizations to focus on leveraging their data rather than wrestling with software.
