The lean-stack take
For a lean plant it makes losses visible as they happen. Teams can see OEE and stops in real time and use the data in daily meetings and improvement work.
Best for
Manufacturing plants that want sensor-based OEE and downtime data without building their own system.
Watch out for
It relies on sensors on each line, so check installation needs and current prices on the pricing page.
