Evocon vs Point85 OEE

Evocon is OEE software for manufacturers that need real-time production visibility and ways to identify waste. Shift View tracks performance across shifts, dates, stations, factories, and countries. The OEE dashboard presents live production insights, while Factory Overview shows machine and factory status. Production reports support analysis, and digital checklists automate recurring checks using current machine data. A sensor detects products on a line or machine and sends collected information through Evocon’s IIoT device over the internet. Evocon describes ERP and other manufacturing integrations, with integrations offered as an add-on on Professional. The license includes support, updates, maintenance, firmware updates, implementation and configuration help, training, onboarding, and unlimited users. Hardware and shipping, integrations, custom development, and on-site visits cost extra. Plans are priced per machine on a one-year agreement: Basic is €189 a month, Professional 249.00 EUR, and Enterprise 319.00 EUR. A 30-day trial starts when production data is visualized.

Point85 OEE is a free, open-source suite for collecting manufacturing equipment data, calculating overall equipment effectiveness, and monitoring availability, performance, and quality events. Its OEE calculation combines availability, performance rate, and quality rate in a nine-category time-loss model. The Designer configures equipment, data sources, event-resolution scripts, schedules, availability reasons, materials, and units of measure. The Monitor shows equipment metrics, collector notifications and status, event timelines, trends, time-loss charts, and Pareto charts. Listed data sources include OPC DA/UA, HTTP/S, RabbitMQ, JMS, MQTT, Kafka, WebSocket, email, database interface tables, file shares, Modbus, cron jobs, and GE Proficy Historian. The suite includes Designer, Collector, Monitor, desktop and web operator applications, and operator apps for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and Chrome/Edge. Collector runs as a Windows service or Unix daemon and stores equipment events in a relational database for OEE, MTBF, and MTTR calculations. Supported databases include Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and HSQLDB. The web operator application is distributed as a WAR file for a compatible web server, such as Tomcat. The OEE-Designer repository identifies its license as MIT.
