MES for packaging production
Packaging lines run at high cadence and accumulate many micro-stops that weigh heavily on OEE. A MES platform detects these stops automatically, standardizes their reasons and makes performance comparable across lines and shifts.
Challenges
Industry challenges
- Detect micro-stops too short to be recorded by hand.
- Capture standardized downtime reasons at the source.
- Track format changes and their impact on availability.
- Compare performance between packaging lines and shifts.
- Reduce scrap caused by cadence drifts.
Shop floor problems
What slows production execution today
- Micro-stops not recorded because deemed too short, leaving losses hidden.
- Downtime reasons noted at end of shift, vague or grouped as 'other'.
- Format changes poorly documented and hard to compare.
- OEE rebuilt at the Monday meeting, several days too late.
- Per-line reports consolidated manually from several sources.
What IBRIXIO delivers
How IBRIXIO responds
- Automatic micro-stop detection from PLC signals.
- Fast reason entry on tablet, with standardized categories and sub-reasons.
- OEE computed continuously, comparable by line, shift and SKU.
- Format-change tracking and impact analysis on availability.
- End-of-shift reports generated and shared automatically.

Use case
On the shop floor
On a packaging line, the team compares OEE with downtime frequency and duration to identify recurring losses and prioritize shop floor action.
