Add OEE Monitoring Without Stopping Production

Do you know the uptime of your equipment? Most manufacturing lines operate at only 60% effectiveness, leaving tremendous opportunities hidden in unreported downtime and performance losses. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) monitoring helps to track the performance of your machines and provides insights for optimization. The Pinebox smart gateway transforms any machine into an intelligent OEE monitored system while production continues running—no downtime, no equipment modifications, no risk to working machinery.

Complete OEE Solution in One Package

Pinetek Networks delivers everything needed for immediate OEE implementation: industrial sensors, Pinebox gateway, the Pinedisplay device adaper, display screens, and complete setup. Your OEE data becomes instantly available on machine displays and online dashboards, with seamless connectivity to databases and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). All you need to provide is power and network connectivity.

The key advantage: your existing equipment requires absolutely no modification.

Simple Installation, Immediate Results

The retrofitting process is straightforward. One or two industrial sensors connect to the Pinebox through standard M12 connectors—no complex wiring required. For OEE applications, Pinetek provides complete setup and configuration services.

Installation with Pinetek’s OEE configuration typically requires just hours per machine:

  • Mount sensors using magnetic bases or simple brackets (e.g. distance sensor for output count, current sensor for machine uptime sensing)
  • Connect sensors to Pinebox via M12 cables
  • Configure device (pre-configuration by Pinetek Networks)
  • Deploy dashboard displays where operators need them

Full packages start at 1,450€, including the Pinebox, Pinedisplay, a display with mounting bracket, a distance sensor for part counting and configuration.

Proven Business Impact from IoT OEE Monitoring

Industry research and case studies demonstrate significant returns from IoT-based OEE monitoring systems:

Manufacturing facilities report immediate visibility benefits including faster response to equipment issues, identification of hidden micro-stops, and real-time performance tracking that enables shift-level corrections.

Data Where You Need It

The Pinedisplay creates dedicated OEE displays at each machine, showing real-time availability, performance, and quality metrics. Operators see immediate feedback, while managers access comprehensive dashboards from any device. Historical data flows to existing systems for long-term analysis and continuous improvement.

Beyond Basic Monitoring

Advanced features emerge as your system grows:

  • Predictive maintenance alerts based on vibration and temperature trends
  • Quality integration with inspection sensors for real-time defect tracking
  • Multi-line dashboards for department and plant-wide visibility
  • Mobile alerts for immediate notification of critical issues

Technical Simplicity Meets Industrial Reliability

The Pinebox supports over 20,000 sensor types through IO-Link compatibility, while the drag-and-drop Node-RED interface eliminates programming complexity. Industrial-grade hardware ensures reliable operation in harsh manufacturing environments.
