Your OEE, without the spreadsheet safari
Most plants compute OEE once a month from three spreadsheets, and nobody quite trusts the number. Frontlink measures it live from machine counters while production runs, and shows exactly where the losses hide.
Downtime writes itself
Paper downtime logs get filled in at the end of the shift, from memory, if at all.
Frontlink detects every stop from the counters and asks for one thing only: the reason. One tap on the operator screen and the log is complete, timestamped, and honest.
Attack the biggest leak first
Without numbers, downtime discussions run on anecdotes and on whoever complained last.
Captured reasons roll up into a pareto per line, shift, or week. The biggest bar is the biggest lever, and the discussion changes from opinions to minutes.
Problems this solves
Performance closes the loop
Losses found here become better plans and cheaper batches: what performance measures, planning and costing put to work.
Common questions
How does Frontlink calculate OEE?
From machine counters: availability times performance times quality, computed live per line and per order. No spreadsheet assembly and no monthly archaeology.
What if operators forget to log downtime?
The stop itself can't be forgotten: Frontlink detects it from the counters automatically. The operator only adds the reason with one tap, and open stops stay visible until someone does.
Do we need perfect data to start?
No. Start with the counters you have. Availability and performance show up immediately, and reason capture grows shift by shift as operators tap along.
