Smart Target Rates

Configuring every product / SKU detail can be time-consuming, and you might not have all the information upfront. Whether it’s due to missing data, lack of a monitoring system, or simply an overlooked parameter affecting your rate, performance and therefore OEE metrics, we’ve got you covered. That’s why we developed Smart Target Rates.

What It Is

Smart Target Rate is a new feature that enhances performance accuracy by automatically calibrating target rates for all products and SKUs previously defaulted to 1 unit/hour. This ensures more precise and reliable production metrics.

You can also choose to enable a smart review of your target rates when performance consistently exceeds 100%, ensuring more accurate metrics and eliminating misleading performance percentages.

How It Works

The auto-adjusted rate is calculated in real-time during an active shift when a new production run is selected. The calculation is based on the following conditions:

  1. At least 1 hour of total uptime
  2. A minimum of 35% availability throughout the shift
  3. A minimum of 300% performance during the shift

 

 

Since the target rate impacts Performance and OEE metrics, Tile+ will temporarily show a dash and a “Calibrating SKU target rate” message while adjusting the data. Don’t worry—your accurate metrics will appear once calibration is completed, that may take about 60 minutes, with no data loss.

Meanwhile, Rate and Speed tiles will continue displaying real-time data, only the target rate will be adjusting.

The OEE graph will be updated as well letting you know that it will be calibrating the SKU metrics as well.

 

🚀 The Benefits

By eliminating misleading metrics caused by default or overly conservative targets, you can focus on continuous improvement and make data-driven decisions that enhance your production performance.

Smart Target Rate is the first milestone of a bigger release, coming soon, on Performance Loss that will enable you to visualize and justify a product rate below the target on the Tile+ timeline.
