OpeEye vs Point85 OEE

OpeEye is machine monitoring and production tracking software for CNC and VMC machine shops. Its live dashboard displays machine status, output against target, downtime reasons, OEE, tool life and job cost. Production reports can be organized by machine, operator, shift and job card; the software calculates OEE per machine and job and generates shift and daily reports.

Operators can log entries on tablets while offline, with synchronization when the connection returns. Data can come from operator tablets, optional auto-count boxes or read-only controller connections rolling out for Fanuc, Haas and Mitsubishi. Manual use requires a locally purchased Android tablet at each machine. OpeEye works alongside Tally or another ERP and does not provide accounting, invoicing or purchasing. Manual and Automatic plans are each listed at ₹399 per machine per month, with a 15-day trial and no free plan. Setup, floor training and support are available in Gujarati, Hindi or English.

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.
