Downtime

Every plant has an OEE dashboard.

Most of them are lying.

Manual logs are incomplete.

Cycle time buffers are padded.

Operators "optimize" under observation.

Planning departments fudge the baseline.

Result? You think you're operating at 95% efficiency, but you're really not.

Corefacture pulls back the curtain — and gives you the real numbers.

Corefacture doesn’t rely on operator reports or indirect proxies.
It connects directly to machines, reads actual cycles, and analyzes stoppage behavior — in real time.

What It Tracks:

• True cycle time (not the one someone entered in Excel)
   
• Micro-stops, slowdowns, and idles
   
• Speed loss (e.g., 20s tasks quietly stretching to 25s)
   
• Operator-induced delays and fake stoppage tags
   
• Shift-level OEE, MTTR, and MTBF without manual input

No subjective checklists. No clipboard bias.

StepConnector™ reads control signals, timers, and logic directly from the PLC or edge controller.

Operator Dashboards track stop reasons live.

Anomaly logic flags inconsistent behavior (e.g., repeated “no material” claims disproved by forklift tracking).

• OEE by machine, shift, cell, or product line
   
• Operator performance breakdowns
   
• Speed loss graphing (not just uptime)
   
• Real-time alerts for idle > X sec, cycle deviation > Y%
   
• APIs for ERP/MES integration
   

• CNCs, presses, welders, packaging lines
   
• PLC-based systems (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Omron, etc.)
   
• Any machine with signal-level access or via OCR capture
   
• Both manual and fully automated production lines
   

You can’t fix what you can’t measure.
Corefacture gives you the truth — down to the second.
