Key Benefits
Higher Productivity Through Real Time OEE and Performance Tracking
Shiftconnector provides live, contextualized visibility into Availability, Performance, and Quality KPIs, so teams can act immediately on emerging losses rather than reporting them after the fact.
Optimized Processes With Instant Sensor and IoT Data Capture
Automated collection of equipment signals, historian trends, and production events gives engineering and operations a context-rich, continuous picture of how the process is running, enabling faster decisions and reducing downtime.
Rapid Issue Identification Using Waterfall and Pareto Analyses
Shiftconnector visualizes OEE‑related losses in tools like loss waterfalls and Pareto charts, helping teams pinpoint top production constraints, quantify their impact, and prioritize the fixes that deliver the biggest performance lift.
Features
Real‑ime, contextualized OEE
Shiftconnector® delivers Availability, Performance, and Quality in real time—enriched with shift notes, events, operator input, and equipment context—so teams understand not only what happened, but why.
Automated Loss Detection with Operator Context
Loss reasons are automatically derived from process and equipment data. Operators confirm and add context via guided reason codes — reducing manual data entry while improving consistency.
AI-Powered Root Cause Analysis
Pattern recognition surfaces recurring issues automatically. AI prioritizes root causes based on impact — helping teams focus on what matters most.
More Features
Loss Waterfalls & Pareto Analysis
OEE‑related losses are visualized in waterfall and Pareto charts enriched with operational context, helping teams quickly identify bottlenecks, quantify impact, and prioritize improvement actions.
Automated Equipment & Process Data Capture
Sensor signals, historian trends, MES/LIMS/ERP data, and production events flow into one unified view. This creates a continuous, accurate, and contextualized picture of how the process is running—without manual data collection.
Integrated Issue Capture & Root‑Cause Analysis
Operators can log issues directly from the line with photos, notes, and contextual data. These records feed into structured root‑cause analysis workflows, linking losses to actionable insights and Continuous Improvement activities.
Unified Performance Dashboards for All Levels
Live dashboards consolidate equipment status, OEE trends, losses, and actions into one place. Role‑based views ensure operators, engineers, and managers each see the insights they need to take immediate, informed action.

OEE & Performance Reporting is
Part of Shiftconnector®
OEE & Performance Reporting is not an isolated tool, but an integral part of the Shiftconnector® Intelligent Operations Platform.
Together with pillars such as Visual Management, Continuous Improvement, and Shift Collaboration, it creates a continuous flow of information – from individual events to strategic decisions.
360° connectivity seamlessly integrates ERP, MES, and process historians into a common operational context.
A Look Into the Engine Room
Shiftconnector® integrates into your existing IT landscape, making it even more intelligent and efficient.
360 ° Connectivity
Fragmented OT/IT systems—MES, LIMS, QMS, ERP/CMMS, and historians—force teams to reconcile data by hand, slowing decisions and weakening traceability.
Shiftconnector® Intelligent Operations Platform unifies these sources into one audit‑ready operational timeline, giving production, quality, maintenance, and engineering the right information, at the right time.
SAMI – Shiftconnector® Artificial Manufacturing Intelligence
Critical production knowledge is documented, but buried in logs, reports, and systems? The problem: When issues arise, finding the right information takes too long.
SAMI makes your documented knowledge instantly accessible. The AI-powered assistant understands your production context and retrieves relevant information in seconds - from the root-causes of incidents to proven solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is OEE and why does it matter?
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measures availability, performance, and quality – the three key factors that determine how effectively your equipment is used. Improving OEE directly impacts output and costs.
Can I customize loss categories?
Yes. Loss categories, downtime reasons, and classification hierarchies are fully configurable to match your specific equipment and processes.
How does Shiftconnector ® integrate with existing systems?
Shiftconnector® connects to MES, SCADA, and process historian systems via standard interfaces. Machine data flows automatically into the OEE calculation.
Can operators add context to machine data?
Yes. Operators can add reason codes and additional observations directly from the shopfloor – combining automated data with human insight.
How quickly can OEE & Performance Reporting be implemented?
A focused pilot can go live in 8–10 weeks. For global rollouts, we have completed deployments across multiple sites in four months.
