What does OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) mean to Maple Systems?

For Maple Systems, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) represents a key performance metric used to help customers monitor, analyze, and improve manufacturing productivity through their industrial automation products — especially their HMIs, PLCs, and SCADA solutions.

Here’s how it relates to Maple Systems:

What OEE Means in Maple Systems’ Context

OEE is a real-time measure of how effectively manufacturing equipment is operating, combining availability, performance, and quality into one percentage-based score. Maple Systems’ HMIs and software are designed to collect, visualize, and report OEE data, helping operators quickly identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies on the plant floor.

How Maple Systems Supports OEE

• HMIs and Industrial PCs – Display real-time OEE dashboards and KPIs on the production line for immediate visibility.
• SCADA and Data Logging Software – Gather machine data (downtime, cycle times, rejects) to calculate OEE automatically.
• IIoT Connectivity – Integrate with PLCs, sensors, and databases to provide centralized OEE tracking across multiple machines or sites.
• Visualization Tools – Use trend charts, alarms, and reports to spot patterns that impact productivity or quality.

Why It Matters to us

For Maple Systems, supporting OEE isn’t just about showing numbers — it’s about empowering manufacturers to achieve “smart factory” efficiency by turning machine data into actionable insights.
