Optimized Chemical Manufacturing Efficiency Through OEE
Uncover the hidden plant with real-time OEE insights.
OEE Challenges in the Chemical Industry
OEE is a critical KPI for chemical manufacturers, but outdated spreadsheets, siloed data and delayed reporting make it difficult to act on insights. Without real-time visibility, teams struggle to identify bottlenecks, prevent downtime and drive continuous improvement. Shiftconnector® transforms OEE data into actionable intelligence, paving the way to optimized chemical manufacturing efficiency. By automating calculations and integrating data across systems, the chemical manufacturing software eliminates errors, provides real-time tracking and connects OEE insights with shift handovers, maintenance logs and event reports. With a clear, shared view of plant performance, teams can collaborate more effectively, reduce inefficiencies and maximize asset utilization
Why OEE Matters in the Chemical Industry
- Maximize Asset Utilization: Real-time OEE tracking helps teams identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, improve batch cycle time and keep equipment running at peak efficiency.
- Data-Driven Decision-Making: Transparent, automated calculations ensure reliable OEE insights, giving operators, engineers, and managers the information they need to drive continuous improvements to chemical manufacturing efficiency.
- Contextualized Insights: By connecting OEE data with shift handovers, maintenance logs, and event reports, teams across operations and management can work together to optimize plant performance.

BASF: Boosting Industrial Performance in the Chemical Industry
Dr. Michael Eckardt
Project Lead, Technical Process at BASF
BASF used Shiftconnector® Performance Management to integrate real-time AVEVA PI data with SAP PM, creating a standardized, transparent system for tracking asset utilization and OEE. By contextualizing performance data with human insights from shift reports and maintenance logs, teams were able to identify inefficiencies and improve decision-making. Shiftconnector has not only driven standardization within BASF, but it has also empowered plant workers and OpEx engineers to shorten batch cycle times and enhance asset performance.”
FAQs: Using Shiftconnector® to Maximize Chemical Manufacturing Efficiency
How does Shiftconnector® Performance Management collect and calculate OEE data?
Shiftconnector® Performance Management automatically gathers data from PI systems, MES, and other sources, ensuring accurate, real-time OEE calculations. It eliminates manual errors and provides a transparent view of availability, performance and quality metrics. Users can drill down into specific data points to understand trends, identify inefficiencies, and make informed decisions for continuous improvements to chemical manufacturing efficiency.
How does Performance Management help reduce downtime?
By continuously tracking OEE in real time, Performance Management identifies performance losses and potential bottlenecks as they happen. This allows teams to take immediate action, preventing minor inefficiencies from escalating into major production disruptions. Real-time alerts notify operators and maintenance teams when critical thresholds are exceeded, ensuring rapid intervention and minimizing costly downtime.
How is OEE data integrated with shift operations?
Performance Management connects OEE metrics with shift handovers, maintenance logs, and event reports, giving teams the full context behind production trends. This enables faster problem resolution and better coordination between operations, maintenance and management. Our chemical industry software solutions provide a centralized, easily accessible data platform, enabling teams to collaborate seamlessly and act on performance insights quickly and effectively
