## Know your factory in real time

Connect every machine, capture manufacturing data automatically, and give your team the visibility to act on problems while they still matter.

## Typical results

- **15-25%** OEE improvement in first year
- **40%** Reduction in unplanned downtime
- **2 hrs** Saved daily on manual reporting

## Most factories still run on yesterday's numbers

Shift reports arrive late. Downtime reasons live in notebooks. OEE is calculated in spreadsheets that nobody trusts. By the time you see the data, the moment to act has already passed. OptiPeople replaces guesswork with live signals from every machine, every shift, every line.

## Everything you need for a data-driven factory floor

- **Live production monitoring**: See machine status, production counts, and line performance in real time. Know what is running, what is stopped, and why.
- **Automatic OEE tracking**: Availability, performance, and quality calculated automatically. Drill down by shift, line, machine, or workstation without touching a spreadsheet.
- **Stop cause registration**: Operators register downtime reasons at the machine or workstation. You get clean data on where time is lost and can prioritize the improvements that matter.
- **Shift and production reports**: Automated daily, weekly, and monthly reports delivered to the right people. No manual compilation, no conflicting numbers.
- **Machine connectivity**: Connect any machine, new or legacy, through OPC-UA, Modbus, IO-Link, or simple sensor kits. No rip-and-replace required.
- **Smart alerts and escalation**: Get notified the moment a line goes down or performance drops below target. Route alerts to the right person automatically.

## How it works

1. **Connect**: We integrate with your existing machines and PLCs. No production disruption, no hardware overhaul.
2. **Visualize**: Your team gets a live dashboard from day one. Real-time OEE, stop causes, and shift performance in one place.
3. **Improve**: Use the data to run targeted improvement cycles. Track the impact of every change you make.

## One dashboard for your entire operation

From individual machines or workstations to plant-wide KPIs, drill into the data that matters, at any level.
