Frequently asked questions

ei³ provides real-time visibility into production rates, cycle times, downtime events, and operator performance. Plant teams can track OEE throughout the shift, understand where bottlenecks are forming, and take immediate action to keep lines running smoothly. Standardized KPIs make it easy for supervisors to compare performance across machines and shifts and drive continuous improvement.

Learn more: The ei³ PRODUCTION application provides real-time tracking and OEE optimization tools.

ei³ captures machine stoppages, alarms, operator notes, and event data so plant teams can quickly identify why equipment stopped and how to prevent it from happening again. Supervisors can review trends, see the most common causes of downtime, and compare performance across lines. This reduces firefighting and helps teams focus on corrective action that drives lasting improvement.

Learn more: The ei³ DOWNTIME application provides detailed root-cause analysis and downtime reporting.

ei³ monitors critical quality parameters in real time and alerts teams when they start to drift. Quality and operations teams can view trend data, compare machines, and identify the root causes of scrap or variability. This helps plants maintain consistent product quality and take corrective action before defects grow into larger issues.

Learn more: The ei³ QUALITY application provides tools to monitor and improve quality performance.

ei³ equips frontline teams with real-time insights, clear KPIs, and intuitive dashboards that help operators and supervisors make better decisions during the shift. Instead of relying on tribal knowledge or end-of-shift reports, teams can see bottlenecks, quality trends, and machine health instantly. This improves reaction time, strengthens shift handoffs, accelerates onboarding for new operators, and creates a more consistent and empowered frontline workforce across all production lines.

Learn more: Our Visualization platform delivers actionable, real-time information directly to frontline teams.

ei³ gives operators and maintenance teams access to real-time alarms, performance trends, and historical machine data. Teams can diagnose issues before they escalate and collaborate with engineering or OEM service teams using secure remote access. Faster troubleshooting reduces shift disruptions and keeps equipment running efficiently.
