OEE Data Platform and Production Reporting
Live OEE and downtime captured from PLC states, with shift-level and weekly management reports replacing manual spreadsheet collation.
Scope & approach
Building on the greenfield automation delivered at Chobani's Australian facility, Metromotion Controls was engaged to develop an OEE data platform that gave the operations team structured visibility of line performance, availability losses, and production output. The project connected existing PLC infrastructure to a centralised reporting environment, establishing consistent downtime reason codes, shift-level OEE calculation, and management dashboards aligned to how the site teams already ran daily reviews.
What was delivered
- Live OEE calculation and downtime event capture was integrated directly from PLC states across production lines.
- Consistent reason-code definitions across shifts gave the operations team a Pareto they could use in daily reviews.
- Shift-level and weekly management reports replaced manual spreadsheet collation and removed re-keying between systems.
Scope items
- OEE calculation model and downtime event capture architecture integrated with existing PLC infrastructure
- Reason-code framework design and operator interface for live downtime entry and event classification
- Shift and management report pack covering availability, performance and quality losses
- Historian configuration and database integration for trend analysis and production benchmarking
