How is this different from production monitoring software?

Platforms like Smart Factory sell software dashboards. We sell outcomes — assessment, implementation, improvement workshops, and AI on top of what you already run. You don't have to rip out Excel or buy another system to get started. Many clients use our support alongside existing tools, or we help you choose the right platform if one is needed.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measures how effectively manufacturing equipment runs. It combines availability (uptime), performance (speed), and quality (good parts) into a single score used to identify losses and drive improvement.

How does AI fit into OEE support?

AI reduces manual data entry, flags unusual loss patterns, summarises shift performance, and helps teams focus on the highest-impact improvements — without replacing your existing MES or SCADA systems.

Do we need new hardware or software?

Not necessarily. We start with what you have — spreadsheets, SCADA exports, MES data, or manual logs — and design a practical path toward better measurement and automation.

Which industries is this suited to?

Manufacturing, waste processing, environmental services, logistics, and any operation with measurable equipment uptime and throughput.

Before and after

Not another dashboard to ignore — a programme that changes how your team runs the line.

Before

Your lines suffer unplanned downtime and nobody can agree on why — or the data lives in a spreadsheet nobody trusts.

With AI Consultory

Automated capture from MES, SCADA, or manual logs — with AI-assisted loss analysis so shift leaders see causes, not just numbers.

Before

You're spending hours building end-of-shift reports instead of fixing problems on the floor.

With AI Consultory

Automated summaries by shift, day, or week — delivered to the people who need to act, not buried in email chains.

Before

You plan for a good day and hope for the best. Daily targets slip and customers feel it.

With AI Consultory

Clear OEE baselines, loss trees, and improvement cycles — so you know if you're on track before it's too late.
