Packaging OEE Monitoring See how your packaging line is performing in real time

The data you need is already on the line. It's just locked in.

Your packaging machines already produce much of what you'd need to improve them: production speed, cycle counts, good and reject counts, run time, downtime and status. The trouble is that this data is often difficult to access outside the machine control, especially without changing a validated PLC program or commissioning a custom integration. So teams fall back on manual logging, patchy reports, or a PLC project nobody wants to touch.

Keep the machines. Connect the data.

Perinet leaves your machines and their controls exactly as they are. Single Pair Ethernet Smart Components capture the relevant signals from the packaging line and place them on an IP-native network, then carry them to a periMICA edge computer on site. There the signals become a live OEE view: availability, performance and quality, with reports for longer-term analysis.

Because the data is made available through open, standard interfaces, your existing IT and analytics tools can use it directly, with no proprietary middleware in between.

The basis

Perinet

Single Pair Ethernet Smart Components put machine signals directly on an IP-native network, and the periMICA edge computer handles local data and dashboards on site.

The realisation

Zentinel MDS

Our solution partner builds on that foundation, adding the firmware and customisation that tailor it to your line, which is what lets a deployment go in during normal operation, in hours.

Proven on a real line

A chocolate manufacturer wanted real-time OEE across its packaging lines. Working with solution partner Zentinel MDS on the Perinet platform, the relevant machine signals were connected and made available to an on-site OEE application. The system was installed in a few hours during normal operation, with no changes to the machine controls and no pause in production.

The connected signals (production speed, good and reject counts, run and downtime) were used to create a live view of availability, performance and quality, with reports for longer-term analysis. Production problems can be recognised and rectified as they happen, rather than surfacing in a report a week later.

Where it also fits

  • Assembly lines: efficiency of consumer-goods production, from electrical appliances to furniture.
  • Textile production: running times and quality on weaving and printing machines.
  • Logistics centres: availability of automated sorting systems.
  • Paper industry: efficiency in cardboard and packaging materials.
  • Plastics processing: OEE for injection moulding and extrusion.
  • Electronics production: performance of automated assembly systems.

Frequently asked questions

The three OEE factors: availability (running versus downtime), performance (actual versus rated speed), and quality (good versus reject counts), captured live from the machines and combined into a single effectiveness score.

periNODE adapters read the existing machine signals (speed, unit counts, run and downtime) and put them straight on the network. Installation takes hours and doesn't touch the PLC or interrupt production.

Yes. The modular adapters extend to more machines or lines without interrupting operations, and the same approach applies to assembly, textiles, plastics, paper, logistics, and electronics production.

Captured data is stored centrally in an SQL database and shown as availability, performance and quality dashboards, with reports for detailed analysis.
