Summary:
OEE, OEG, and OEE are the key indicators for managing the actual performance of a machining workshop. Atsora Tracking connects directly to the CNC machines, captures data to the second, and processes it intelligently to precisely identify cycles, stops, and deviations. Through cycle or machine status analysis, the solution provides a reliable measurement, without operator reporting, and highlights hidden losses that hinder your profitability. The result: an objective view, immediately actionable, allowing many workshops to improve their OEE from 60% to 80%.
Optimization of Industrial Performance: Mastering OEE, OOE, and OTE
In Industry 4.0, data is no longer an option; it is a lever for competitiveness. At Atsora Solutions, we transform the raw signals from your machine tools into strategic management indicators. Understanding the performance of your workshop begins with mastering three key indicators.
1. Understanding and Differentiating Performance Indicators
To manage effectively, precise measurement is essential. The hierarchy of these rates allows you to pinpoint exactly where your losses (organizational, technical, or quality) are located.
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) –OEE in English: It measures the efficiency of the machine during its scheduled operating time. It is the pure productivity indicator, the one that assesses the effectiveness of the team and the process.
Example: If your machine is scheduled for 8 hours but experiences 1 hour of micro-stops and produces 3% scrap, your OEE will drop, revealing an operational issue.
OOE (Overall Operational Effectiveness) –OOE in English: It incorporates the opening time of your factory, including planned downtimes (maintenance, meetings, breaks).
Example: A workshop operating in 2x8 will have an OOE influenced by periods when the machine is available but not loaded due to lack of personnel or preventive maintenance.
The TRE (Economic Rate of Return) –TEEP in English: It relates production to the total theoretical time (24/7).
Example: For a heavy investment, the TRE allows you to visualize whether your asset is being utilized to its maximum calendar potential.

2. The Atsora Tracking Approach: Source data, without compromise.
Most market solutions rely on manual operator input. At Atsora Solutions, we differentiate ourselves through a direct connection to PLCs, ensuring total data integrity.
Depending on the nature of your production, our Atsora Tracking solution calculates your performance using two innovative methodologies:
A. Analysis by Machining Cycles (Process Excellence)
This method is the most accurate for high-tech industries. It compares in real-time each cycle captured on the CNC to the standard cycle time.
The concept:If a milling cycle is scheduled for 4 minutes but takes 4 minutes and 20 seconds, Atsora automatically detects the entire cycle, from start to finish, and immediately identifies an 8% deviation.
The Atsora advantage: We automatically isolate and exclude non-productive periods (loading/unloading) to only assess the actual performance of your cutting conditions.
B. Analysis by Machine Status (Availability & Flow Vision)
Ideal for high mix, low volume workshops, this mode examines the actual state of the machine:Production, Stop, Alarm, or Adjustment.
The concept:Without any human action, the system records a machine state that can then be supplemented by an automatic classification of the stop.
The Atsora advantage: You gain an objective view of the causes of non-productivity. This allows for the initiation of SMED or logistical projects based on facts, not estimates.
3. Why does Atsora redefine the standards of Performance Audit?
Unlike traditional "paper" approaches or rigid MES software, Atsora offers superior technological agility:
- Direct connection to machines for optimal data reliability. des données optimale.
- Real-time alerts and dashboards for better responsiveness.
- Precision to the second in your data. Quick and non-intrusive
- implementation. Atsora's commitment:
Atsora's commitment:We do not just deliver a rate. We provide the visibility needed to turn every lost minute into a margin gain opportunity, with automatic classification of stops to immediately qualify losses and accelerate corrective actions.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t leave your machine tools in the dark any longer. With Atsora Tracking, lead your workshop into the age of transparent data and operational excellence.
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is simply the English term forTRS (Synthetic Yield Rate). At Atsora Solutions, our interfaces are bilingual and adapt to international standards (AFNOR NF E60-182) to ensure smooth communication within your global teams.
The declarative relies on manual input from operators, often done at the end of the shift, from memory, which generates forgotten micro-stops and approximations. Atsora Tracking directly queries the machine to the second, cross-references the flows from digital commands and machine states, and then processes them intelligently to contextualize cycles, qualify stops, and detect deviations. This approach eliminates human error and provides reliable and actionable ground truth for your performance meetings.
Absolutely. Innovation at Atsora involves making machines of all generations "smart." Through our connectivity solutions (IoT or native protocols), we capture production signals even from heterogeneous machine parks to centralize your OEE on a single dashboard.
Although this depends on your sector (automotive, aerospace, medical), the global average is around 60%. An OEE of 85% is considered World Class Manufacturing. Our role is to help you identify the 15% or 20% of "hidden losses" that you are not yet able to measure. In practice, our clients frequently see a progression from 60% to 80% thanks to comprehensive measurement and structured exploitation of machine data.
The Standard Time is your theoretical reference (manufacturing range). The Real Time is the duration measured by Atsora for each part produced. The gap between the two constitutes the "Performance Loss". Our algorithms analyze these deviations to alert you before the profitability of your series is compromised.
