Harnessing Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) for Enhanced Automation Effectiveness: How SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies Drives Success

Updated: Nov 24

In today’s competitive industrial landscape, having a reliable, versatile platform for tracking data, generating reports, and creating easy-to-navigate interfaces is essential. At SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies, we’ve made Ignition by Inductive Automation a cornerstone of our automation solutions, empowering us to deliver cutting-edge systems that boost productivity, ensure Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), and support effective preventative maintenance strategies for our clients.

Tracking Data and Spotting Trends with Tags and Scripts

Ignition’s tag system is the foundation of our data tracking strategy at SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies. Each tag represents a key metric—such as temperature, speed, or pressure—and can be paired with scripts to trigger alerts or log data automatically when certain thresholds are met. For example, if a machine’s temperature starts to rise, Ignition can instantly record this change, helping us detect wear or inefficiency before it impacts production. This proactive approach not only enhances OEE but also keeps machinery running smoothly, reducing unexpected downtime.

Using Ignition’s scripting tools, our team can customize rules that monitor tags for trends over time, giving us insights that are essential for predictive and preventative maintenance. This allows us to spot Mean Time To Failures (MTTF) and Mean Time Between Repairs (MTBR), address emerging issues in advance, safeguard our clients' equipment, and optimize their operations. By catching trends early, we can help ensure maximum uptime and extend the life of critical systems.

Overall Equipment Efficiency Reports for Data-Driven Insights

With real-time data flowing from Ignition tags, our engineers at SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies rely on Ignition’s reporting tools to compile targeted insights for smarter decision-making. By capturing tag data at strategic intervals—such as at the beginning and end of each production cycle—we generate reports that provide a clear picture of process performance over time.

Ignition’s customizable templates allow us to deliver client-specific reports that cover key metrics, highlight productivity trends, and track resource utilization. Whether summarizing daily outputs or analyzing long-term patterns, these reports are invaluable for refining operations, maintaining compliance, and improving OEE. Through these insights, we empower our clients to make data-driven decisions that enhance efficiency and support their long-term goals.

Designing Intuitive HMIs for Engaged Employees

At SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies, we understand the importance of a well-designed HMI (Human-Machine Interface) for smooth, efficient operations. Ignition’s interface design tools allow us to build custom HMIs that are as visually organized as they are user-friendly. With features like color-coded alerts, real-time metrics, and easy-to-navigate layouts, our HMIs provide operators with the tools they need to interact effectively with equipment.

By creating interfaces that simplify machine interactions and reduce error risk, we enable operators to respond quickly to production changes. A well-constructed HMI means operators can focus on their tasks with confidence, reducing downtime and keeping production on track. For our clients, this translates to smoother workflows, fewer interruptions, and a more engaged workforce.
