The biggest source of lost profit is often not a major breakdown but thousands of tiny, unrecorded stops every day.
In this episode we show how to turn downtime from an unavoidable cost into the most valuable source of data for continuous improvement.
In this episode, you’ll discover
- How stops lasting a few seconds add up to massive weekly losses
- Practical methods to track every stop and classify it, e.g. technical failure, changeover or material shortage
- How to use downtime data to find the most problematic machines and recurring issues
- How a beverage producer cut downtime by 25% in three months and a plastics processor raised OEE by 10%
- How DBR77 records every stop to the second, detects patterns with AI and shows bottlenecks on a Digital Twin
