Measuring Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is now essential for manufacturers striving to enhance productivity and streamline operations. As digital transformation continues to reshape the manufacturing landscape, demand for advanced data analytics solutions that provide real-time insights into machine performance and production bottlenecks has grown exponentially.
ABI Research has observed manufacturers increasingly investing in purpose-built OEE software solutions, rather than relying on metrics embedded within Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs) or Quality Management Systems (QMSs).
This trend reflects the industry's pivot toward descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics capabilities, which are areas where traditional MES or QMS platforms fall short. Up-and-comers like Litmus Automation, MachineMetrics, and Augury have stepped up to fill this market gap for OEE tools.
