The relayr Performance Optimization Solution creates a score that quantifies the productivity of planned production time in an industrial process. By capturing data from sensors within the industrial process equipment, the solution can benchmark and analyze the real-time performance of the overall process. Areas requiring improvement are then highlighted, allowing the associated equipment to be optimized. This allows operators to work towards a ‘perfect’ productivity score whilst continually monitoring how well the existing system is performing.

A performance score of 100% represents perfect production:
manufacturing only good parts, as fast as possible, with no
down time. The score is calculated from three underlying
factors: availability, performance, and quality. Each of these
factors represents a different perspective of how close your
manufacturing process is to perfect performance. Analytics can
then be undertaken on the data to highlight areas requiring
improvement, striving to perfect the manufacturing process.

3. MAIN PARAMETERS
WE WANT TO MEASURE
WITH THE PERFORMANCE
OPTIMIZATION PLATFORM:
Performance: takes into account slow cycles and
small stops. A Performance score of 100% means the
process is running as fast as possible.
Quality: takes into account defects (including parts
that need rework). A quality score of 100% means
there are no defects (only good parts are being
produced).
Availability: takes into account unplanned and
planned stops. An availability score of 100% means
the process is always running during planned
production time.

4. RELAYR PERFORMANCE
OPTIMIZATION SOLUTION FOR
PACKAGING LINES
The relayr performance optimization solution for packaging
lines will be installed in the relayr cloud and will receive data
from both existing PLCs and some new sensors that will be
installed at the customer’s site. The users that may use the plat-
form are the production line supervisors, plant managers and C
level managers.
KEY FEATURES OF THE
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
PLATFORM
Customized dashboard
Graphs and charts customized by filters
Rule engine for detecting alerts
“Off the shelf” packaged product and quick installation
Flexible packaging of services
Advanced analytics methods for historic data
Real-time notification about performance and quality issues

FACTORIES
Increase efficiency - The user will be able to view output related to the inventory
which is used on each production line.
Decrease machine downtime - The OEE should display accumulated data about
downtime of a machine, production line, and/or factory. The user will be able to define
thresholds and alerts.
Visualize performance - The performance of the whole factory down to each indivi-
dual production line will de displayed according to rules defined by the rules engine.
Yield - Percentage of products which are created correctly: one of the most important
parameters which are measured and tracked by the OEE platform is efficiency. That
translates to how many “good” products can we produce in a specific time period.
Energy cost per unit - How much we invest in energy for each unit which we produce
at the production line.
