Equipment and operational performance

A practical first step for plants that need visibility before full MES. See how long each machine really ran, why it stopped and where production time went.

You can’t improve what you can’t see.

Vector11 Performance makes equipment losses visible so manufacturing teams can act.

  • How long did each machine actually run?
  • Why did it stop, and for how long?
  • Which machine or line performs best?
  • What are our biggest recurring stoppages?

How it works

Deployable in days or weeks where connectivity and site readiness allow, rather than through a long MES rollout.

  1. Connect signals

    Use existing PLC data, or add simple sensors and I/O.

  2. Collect at the edge

    Machine states and counts captured reliably.

  3. Classify stoppages

    Downtime reasons agreed with operators.

  4. Act on the data

    Shift, machine and loss views for daily routines.

Features

  • Run, idle, stop and fault states
  • Availability and downtime analysis
  • Production rates and utilisation
  • OEE where quality and rate inputs exist
  • Downtime classification by cause
  • Condition visibility from vibration or temperature signals
  • Shift and machine comparisons
  • Event notifications and energy visibility

Performance is monitoring and operational analytics. Predictive maintenance and predictive quality are part of our offering through our strategic partner Algo8 and its PlantBrain platform.

What improvement can you expect?

Typical areas of improvement. Quantified results are published only when verified with the client.

Lost time made visible

Run, idle and stop time measured per machine and shift.

Better utilisation

Recurring losses ranked by cause, so effort goes where it matters.

Focused teams

Maintenance and production working from the same facts.

Faster decisions

Shift performance available during the shift, not after it.
