Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.

Patch OEE is a cloud-native Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) monitoring and analytics platform developed by Aptean. Designed for fast deployment and operator ease-of-use, it provides real-time visibility into production performance, losses, and operational productivity across manufacturing lines.^[1]

Summary

Patch OEE enables manufacturers—from food and beverage to industrial discrete production—to measure, analyze, and improve efficiency metrics such as availability, performance, and quality in near real time.^[2] It allows production teams to digitize shop-floor data for continuous improvement initiatives, with typical deployments completed within weeks.

Overview

The web-based and mobile-friendly platform connects with shop-floor signals, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or manual inputs to automatically record downtime, speed losses, and rejects. It includes role-specific dashboards and out-of-the-box insights, allowing operations teams to track production attainment, labor productivity, and loss categories without custom code.^[3]

Key Features

• Automated OEE Tracking: Collects availability, speed, and quality loss data in real time.^[4]
• Plan vs. Actual Production Monitoring: Displays projected finish times and performance deviations.^[5]
• Labor Productivity Metrics: Tracks workforce efficiency and utilization.^[6]
• Exception Management: Logs downtime causes via on-machine toggles or screens.^[7]
• Role-Based Dashboards & Reports: Provides multi-language dashboards and reporting with export capabilities.^[8]
• Rapid Deployment: Deploys in weeks with integrated hosting and optional data-collector hardware.^[9]

Its flexibility makes it well-suited for high-speed, linear workflows where continuous real-time visibility and rapid improvements are essential.

Deployment Types

• Cloud (SaaS): Delivered as a subscription model, including dashboards, hosting, and optional hardware data collectors.^[12]
• On-Premise / Private Cloud: Available in enterprise plans, with integration to ERP/MRP systems through web services.^[13]

Awards & Recognition

Patch OEE has not received formal industry awards, but it has been recognized by Aptean and customers for enabling rapid ROI, plant-wide alignment, and insight-driven improvement. Adoption by global producers such as FrieslandCampina highlights its practical effectiveness.^[14]

Ownership

Patch OEE is developed and supported by Aptean, an enterprise software company headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA.^[15][16]
