What is OEE and why is it important for the food industry?
OEE stands for Overall Equipment Effectiveness and measures the efficiency of a production system. Three main factors are taken into account when calculating OEE: availability, performance and quality. By analyzing these factors, companies gain insight into how well their production lines are actually working and where there is potential for improvement.
How can Bizerba improve OEE in the food industry?
With its price labelers and checkweighers in combination with the BRAIN2 OEE software module, Bizerba offers a tailor-made solution for data collection and analysis in food production. The use of these technologies enables seamless monitoring and optimization of production processes to increase efficiency.
How does the integration of Bizerba technologies in the production line work?
In a typical production line, there is the GLM-I evo with the CleanCut Applicator, which ensures the precise application of labels and banderoles to packaging. This labeling is critical for traceability and compliance. Immediately afterwards, a checkweigher verifies the quality of the packaged products by ensuring that the weight is within the specified tolerances. These process steps are critical not only for quality assurance, but also for the efficiency of the entire line.
What is special about BRAIN2 OEE software?
The BRAIN2 OEE software is the core of the Bizerba solution. It collects and analyzes production data in real time, provides a comprehensive overview of the performance of the production line and thus enables targeted process optimization. With this software, companies can continuously monitor and improve the availability, performance and quality of their production, which leads directly to a higher OEE.
