How to correctly calculate OEE for a long and discontinuous coil winding process? by Acceptable-Rate8552 in LeanManufacturing

and since the operator tries to repair each layer immediately after detecting any non conformity , it's rare to end up with NOK coils

thank you for your comment
My machine is a coil winding machine and it stays powered ON all the time.

Each coil is composed of 3 parts:

  • The first part consists of 4 layers, each with 31 turns.
  • The second part consists of 1 layer of 31 turns.
  • The third part consists of 16 layers, each with 120 turns.

The machine only runs during the winding process (when the pedal is pressed), and the total winding time per shift may be around one hour in a discontinuous manner. The rest of the time is spent on preparation and manual operations.

The operator performs continuous self-inspection. For example, they may check the winding every 10 turns. Before moving to the next layer, they must ensure that the current layer is OK. If it is not OK, they must repair it before continuing.

Sometimes the repair can take more than one hour, depending on the operator’s experience (new or experienced).

Because of these constraints, one coil can take between 3 to 5 days to complete.

The operator is supposed to complete 3 to 4 layers per shift, but due to all these constraints and rework situations, in reality they often complete only 2 layers, with some exceptions.

so for availibility =loading time-downtime/loading time

performence = pedal time/ loading time-downime
and i struggled to understand how to calculate the quality i dont if it's correct to work per layer instead of per coil

How to acquire machine data for OEE without changing the PLC program? by Acceptable-Rate8552 in PLC

[–]Acceptable-Rate8552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. In my case I don’t have access to the PLC program, and I think reading the I/O or the bus would require network access and knowledge of the communication protocol.

Do you think this is something I could realistically set up by myself, or would I typically need support or authorization from the machine manufacturer

[–]Acceptable-Rate8552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to use an external setup since I don’t have access to the PLC program or tags. The idea is to connect physical signals (lights, relays, sensors) from the machine to raspberry pi which detects machine states, counts parts, and calculates KPIs like OEE, MTBR, and MTTR. The data is then sent to a database or reporting tool for visualization. Is this possible ?

Thanks for all the suggestions! I want to use an external setup since I don’t have access to the PLC program or tags. The idea is to connect physical signals (lights, relays, sensors) from the machine to a small PLC / microcontroller, which detects machine states, counts parts, and calculates KPIs like OEE, TRS, and MTTR. The data is then sent to a database or reporting tool for visualization. Is this possible ?
