What is OEE - and why is it so important?
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the most important indicator for evaluating the productivity of production facilities. It measures how efficiently machines are actually used and consists of three factors:
- Availability: How long does the system actually run?
- Performance: How close is the actual speed to the maximum possible speed?
- Quality: How many parts meet the quality requirements?
Formula: OEE = Availability x Performance x Quality
A high OEE means: less downtime, higher utilization, and better quality.
The challenge: Why traditional OEE measurements are incomplete
Many companies still calculate their OEE manually—using Excel spreadsheets or incomplete machine data.
This leads to typical problems:
- Incomplete data collection: Manual entries are prone to errors.
- No real-time data: Problems are often detected too late.
- Lack of transparency: Downtime, setup times, and rework remain invisible.
- Missed opportunities: Planned downtime offers untapped potential for optimization.
The result: the actual efficiency of your production remains unclear.
The solution: OEE optimization with RFID technology
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) automatically collects production data in real time. This gives you a complete, objective, and transparent picture of your OEE—at any time and without manual effort.
How RFID improves your OEE:
Materials, tools, and products are automatically recorded.

Reduces human error and improves data quality.

Downtime and deviations become immediately visible.

Bottlenecks are avoided and resources are used more efficiently.

Maintenance based on actual machine data – rather than according to a calendar.
The result: higher OEE through increased availability, performance, and quality.
Predictive Maintenance & OEE: Efficiency through predictive maintenance
Predictive maintenance uses sensor data and AI analytics to identify maintenance needs at an early stage. This allows you to improve your OEE on several levels:
- Reduction in unplanned downtime: higher availability
- Optimized maintenance intervals: better performance
- Early quality control: less waste
- Longer machine life: lower costs
This makes your OEE measurement the basis for proactive, stable production.
