ANDON & OEE, MES SYSTEM - VIETSOFT SMARTRACK

1. Introduction to the MES SmartTrack System

Vietsoft’s SmartTrack Smart Factory Management System consists of three main modules: ANDON SmartTrack, MES SmartTrack, and OEE SmartTrack. This system enables real-time data collection on machine status and product timekeeping at each workstation. Additionally, it automatically calculates the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) index, allowing managers to easily monitor production progress and optimize equipment capacity in the factory. With the reporting information, businesses can analyze, proactively improve processes, and enhance operational efficiency.

2. Features of the 3 Modules in the MES SmartTrack System

A. ANDON SmartTrack Module

ANDON SmartTrack is an intelligent alert and communication system that facilitates rapid issue resolution and enhances transparency in production. Its features include:

• Real-time production monitoring: Continuously tracks production activities, providing instant updates on machine and production line status.
• Alerts: Workers can press a button to report issues for quick resolution; the system also automatically detects machine stoppages during production and sends alerts (via lights, sounds, or notifications).
• Data collection and storage: Records operational data, incidents, and output for later analysis and improvement.
• Visual information display: Presents data on LCD screens, making it easy for managers and workers to monitor.
• Incident management: Logs, tracks, reports, and supports rapid resolution of unexpected issues, minimizing downtime.
• System integration: Connects with ERP and other software for seamless data synchronization.

B. MES SmartTrack Module

MES SmartTrack is a comprehensive production management solution, offering powerful tools to coordinate and optimize factory operations. Its features include:

• Real-time production management: Tracks production metrics and activities from raw materials to finished products
• Data collection and analysis: Captures data from machines and equipment to optimize processes.
• Production planning, scheduling, and allocation: Arranges efficient production schedules to reduce idle time.
• Quality management: Monitors and ensures product quality at every stage.
• System integration: Connects with ERP and other software for data synchronization.
• Resource management: Tracks and allocates labor, materials, and equipment.
• Performance tracking: Measures KPIs, productivity, machine and employee performance, and operational efficiency.
• Traceability support: Stores data for product history retrieval when needed.

C. OEE SmartTrack Module

OEE SmartTrack is a tool for measuring and optimizing equipment performance, helping businesses improve productivity and quality. Its features include:

• Automated OEE calculation: The Andon system collects data from machines and production lines to calculate OEE based on three factors—Availability, Performance, and Quality—delivering real-time composite metrics.
• Downtime monitoring: Records and analyzes production downtime (due to technical errors, material shortages, etc.) to improve availability in OEE.
• Production line performance tracking: Measures actual production speed against standard speed.
• Product quality control: Tracks defective or rejected products, supports OEE quality calculations, and alerts when defect rates exceed thresholds.
• Visual OEE display: Provides dashboards or large screens showing real-time OEE metrics, enabling workers and managers to monitor and respond promptly.

3. Why Businesses Need the MES SmartTrack System

• Minimize downtime: Reduces waiting time for responsible personnel to address production issues, potentially cutting downtime by 10% to 30%.
• Remote factory monitoring: Oversees factory operations from anywhere.
• Downtime analysis: Analyzes causes of downtime to drive improvements.
• OEE management: Manages Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) manually or automatically.

4. Key Features of the MES SmartTrack System

• Emergency call system: Quickly notifies Maintenance, Production, Quality, and Logistics departments.
• Mobile and web compatibility: Easily accessible via mobile apps and web platforms with cloud-based data for remote management.
• OEE management: Manages OEE with options for manual input or automatic downtime logging via sensors.
• Enhanced management: Escalates issues to higher management if response times are delayed.
