Your lines are running. But at what capacity?

Problem

In most factories, actual production capacity is an estimate. Production managers operate with lagging indicators: next-morning reports, Excel files reconstructed at the end of a shift, gut feelings built from experience.

The result: when production drops, you find out too late. And when you look for why, the data is no longer there.

What it costs

  • Decisions made without real visibility into line status
  • Undetected breakdowns and micro-stoppages that accumulate as silent losses
  • Teams spending time reconstructing what happened rather than acting on it

The NOTOM approach

NOTOM Connect collects real-time data from your production equipment (cycle rates, machine states, operating time) and automatically contextualizes it within a hierarchy that reflects your process.

The result: OEE calculated line by line, in under a minute, visible at every level of the organization, no export, no IT involvement required.

Production managers see at a glance:

  • Which lines are running, which are stopped and why
  • Where availability, performance, and quality losses are occurring
  • Trends over the day, week, and month
  • HMI parameter changes, fully traced

What it changes

before
OEE calculated manually, next day
Breakdowns detected by operators
Gut-feel management
Time-consuming post-mortem analyses
after
Real-time OEE, < 1 min
Automatic alerts from the moment of deviation
Fact-based decisions
Immediate visibility into root causes

Who it's for

This use case is aimed at production managers and industrial directors in food & beverage and manufacturing companies who want real-time visibility into their line performance, without IT projects or custom integrations.
