It is the result of forward-looking action. The measure of a system’s value creation is its Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). It is determined by three factors:

Availability Performance Quality

Looking at Overall Equipment Effectiveness provides a clear indication of whether you can maximise productivity and thus make system operation even more economical .

What is your objective? Is your OEE too low and do you want to increase it? Do you want to minimise system downtime? Our practical tips will show you how to quickly and simply increase your Overall Equipment Effectiveness.

Availability

Reduce the length of planned downtime and avoid unplanned downtime.

Planned downtime is required for:
– Format changeovers.
– Cleaning the system.
-Scheduled maintenance.

These tasks take up valuable time.

Analysing how you deal with these tasks often helps to reduce the associated downtime…

Preventive maintenance avoids a great number of breakdowns. In the event of a breakdown, the cause must be quickly identified and the problem eliminated as rapidly and simply as possible.

Clean design products:

MPA-C valve terminal and cylinder CRDSNU & DSBF facilitate a quick and efficient cleaning process.
