Sorting Results Prediction – A Key to Greater Quality and Productivity

Proditec’s Eric Sanquer covered the development of a Sorting Results Prediction feature during his presentation. This was achieved by using the company’s Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) tool, which examines and measures five parameters: 

1. Plant operating time
2. Planned production time (planned shutdowns)
3. Operating time (down time losses)
4. Net operating time (speed loss)
5. Fully productive time (time lost from removing faulty products i.e. quality loss) – which was noted as most important.
