From alert to action in minutes
The objective of this agent is to increase equipment effectiveness by identifying loss drivers.
The Trigger
You define when the agent should activate. When conditions are met, it starts working automatically.
- OEE falls below 85% (or your plant-specific target) for a production line
- Availability drops more than 5 percentage points from the rolling 7-day average
- Quality rate declines below 99% on critical product lines
360° View
The agent opens a tailored dashboard consolidating data from all your systems.
- OEE summary by line -- current OEE with availability, performance, and quality breakdown
- Downtime log -- categorized stops with duration, reason codes, and timestamps
- Cycle time analysis -- actual vs. ideal cycle times by product and line
Automated Analysis
The agent follows a structured analysis flow, combining checks with exploratory reasoning.
- Identify the primary loss category -- Compares availability, performance, and quality against targets to determine which component is most responsible for the OEE gap.
- Analyze availability losses -- If availability is the driver, examines the downtime log to identify top reason codes (breakdowns, changeovers, material shortages, operator absence) and calculates minutes lost per category.
- Investigate performance losses -- If performance is lagging, analyzes cycle time data to find products or time periods with speed losses, minor stops, or idling events.
Actionable Output
After analysis, the agent creates a human-friendly report with everything your team needs.
- Executive summary -- One-paragraph overview of which lines triggered alerts and the primary loss driver
- OEE breakdown -- Current availability, performance, and quality vs. targets with variance highlighted
- Top loss drivers -- Ranked list of specific causes (e.g., "Unplanned downtime: conveyor jam--47 minutes") with estimated production impact
Delivery
Reports are sent automatically via email or accessed directly in Veezoo.
Key benefits for operations teams
Concrete, measurable value for your team from day one
Faster response -- Before: OEE issues surfaced in weekly reports, days after losses occurred
Now: alerts within minutes of threshold breach, enabling same-shift corrective action.
Clear loss attribution -- Pinpoint whether availability, performance, or quality is responsible, then drill into specific causes--no more guessing why OEE dropped.
Reduced downtime -- By catching recurring equipment faults early, maintenance teams can address issues before they escalate--typical improvement of 10-20% reduction in unplanned downtime (example based on industry patterns).
