10in6 OEE Tracking vs Factbird

10in6 OEE Tracking helps manufacturers measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness using machine signals, production counts, downtime events, scrap, and operator context. Its OEE calculation combines Availability, Performance, and Quality: run time against planned time, actual output against expected output, and good parts against total parts. Results can be viewed in real time by machine, line, or area and broken down by shift, product, and time period. The system surfaces downtime, slow cycles, microstops, speed loss, scrap, rejects, and recurring loss patterns. Shop-floor displays, management views, shift and daily reports, and threshold-based alerts show when performance falls. Automatic OEE calculation requires a direct machine or PLC connection, which 10in6 configures and maintains as part of deployment. Listed connections include SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, QAD, Epicor, Sage, and custom systems using file or API interfaces. Connectivity options include industrial protocols, serial, SQL Server, REST API, SCADA, and data historians. Deployments include 10in6 staff to connect equipment, configure workflows, and support operations after go-live. Pricing is on request.

Factbird is a manufacturing intelligence suite that turns production data into operational insights and shop-floor workflows. Production Insights provides real-time and historical visibility, OEE analysis, downtime analytics, role-based views, and shift or batch scheduling. Connected Operations adds digital guidance, paperless quality checks, SOPs, checklists, execution flows, e-signatures, audit trails, and preventive maintenance. Knowledge Excellence includes learning management, a skills matrix, training tools, learner notifications, and PDCA action plans. Production data can come from Factbird Industrial IoT devices or directly from PLCs; the software presents live graphs, stop-cause reporting, and OEE monitoring. Connectivity includes MQTT, OPC UA (Kepware), a GraphQL API, and webhooks, with Power BI, Tableau, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 named as integration examples. Factbird says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with SSO, MFA, and an enterprise private-cloud option. Its apps require the Factbird platform. There is no dedicated iOS or Android app, though users can add the web app to a phone home screen. The company is based in Copenhagen and says it has helped manufacturers since 2016.
