Frequently asked questions

ei³ monitors machine performance in real time and alerts teams when conditions begin to drift. Operators and maintenance teams can see exactly when and why equipment stops, supported by alarms, event histories, and operator notes. This reduces firefighting and helps plants prevent recurring issues. Customers using ei³ have seen significant reductions in unplanned downtime and faster time-to-resolution.

Learn more: The ei³ DOWNTIME application provides detailed event tracking and root-cause analysis.

ei³ standardizes data across machines and provides real-time visibility into availability, performance, and quality. Supervisors and teams can compare OEE between shifts, lines, and assets and identify where losses occur. This removes guesswork and helps drive consistent improvement across the entire plant.

Learn more: The ei³ PRODUCTION application delivers real-time OEE tracking and performance insights.

ei³ captures detailed machine events, operator comments, alarm patterns, and cycle-level data. Teams can review repeat issues, correlate events, and understand the drivers behind downtime, waste, or slow cycles. This gives maintenance, engineering, and operations a shared, trusted source of truth for continuous improvement.

Learn more: Downtime and Quality applications provide structured tools for analyzing loss drivers.

Improving uptime and OEE begins with real-time visibility, but long-term gains come from analyzing trends, identifying recurring causes of loss, and using data to anticipate future issues. ei³ provides the structured data, historical insights, and usage-based indicators required to progress from reactive troubleshooting to proactive and predictive maintenance. This creates a scalable foundation for continuous improvement.

Learn more: The Implementation Framework explains how organizations build a path to predictive using ei³.

ei³ gives frontline teams simple, guided tools to capture accurate downtime reasons in real time. Technical causes can be assigned automatically through machine production signals, while operators can add or confirm operational reasons with prompts at the machine. ei³ merges these inputs and analyzes losses across machines, shifts, jobs, and fleets. This improves data quality, empowers frontline decision making, and gives supervisors reliable insights to drive continuous improvement.
