Each production facility has its maximum theoretical capacity, which must be achieved without any disturbance and quality loss. Of course, it is impossible to achieve completely zero loss or error in actual production. OEE is an independent measurement tool used to express the ratio of actual production capacity relative to theoretical capacity, grouped by key elements of availability, performance, and quality index.
Digital manufacturing is a production method in which computer technology creates a product in a desired style or quantity using little or no human involvement. Digital manufacturing uses digital tools to combines and connect all manufacturing processes.
