Feature updates

Define a metric, track it live

A new widget calculates with a formula of your own. You combine existing values into a metric that oee.ai doesn't calculate out of the box. One example is technical availability: it counts only technical downtime and leaves out organisational causes such as missing material. The widget works in reports and on the Andon Board, so the figure is visible in real time on the line and in meetings.

Fix typos right away

After a manual unit entry, the tablet shows a card like the one you know from reject entries. For five minutes you can use it to correct or undo the value; after that, the card disappears. A mistyped digit no longer stays in your figures for good.

Clear which loss is meant

When the tablet asks for a loss reason, it now shows whether the loss is still ongoing or has already ended. For an ended loss, the end time is shown as well. Operators on the line can see which loss event still needs an answer.

Split a loss event afterwards

A standstill can have several causes in a row: cleaning, then a break, then changeover, until production starts again. Without a switch along the way, the whole period carries just one reason. You can now split such a loss event directly in the interface, into as many sections as it needs, each with its own loss reason and comment. The total duration stays the same and reports follow automatically.

No typos in your figures

You can now set an upper limit for manual unit and reject entries. Anything above it is not saved and the operator gets a clear message on the tablet. One digit too many no longer distorts your figures.

Short stops no longer slip through

The widgets “Current loss” and “Current machine status” now also show microstops. Before, they reported no standstill as long as the threshold for an availability loss had not been reached.

Set a loss reason without the wait

You can now preselect a loss reason in the tablet attributes. Operators assign the reason right away instead of waiting out the minimum loss detection time. That way the reason is recorded while the cause is still fresh.

Expert mode in the table widget

The table widget now has an expert mode for partitioning. In it, partitions can be configured freely, including combinations that were not available before. If you need a view the predefined combinations cannot produce, you can build it yourself instead of taking the detour through an export.

Stability & maintenance

The tablet interface runs on a new version addressing earlier pitfalls in continuous operation. We have also made the API connection more robust.

Shift planning without misunderstandings

‍A small but helpful refinement: shifts that are already running or lie in the past are no longer shown as editable in shift planning. This was never actually possible – the interface now simply makes it clear. Fewer questions, cleaner shift management.

From practice, for practice

‍This refinement goes back to a hint from a customer – that's exactly how many of our improvements come about. Notice something that could be clearer, faster or simpler?

Let us know, we're listening.
