OEE & Micro Stops Intelligence
Accevo OEE Microstops & Intelligence captures machine data in real time, detects microstops automatically, and shows where performance is really being lost across the line. See every stop, understand every loss, improve OEE with faster decisions.
OEE monitoring software precise to the single stop
Standard OEE monitoring software tells you the number dropped. It rarely tells you which stop caused it.
Accevo reads machine data straight from the PLC, catches microstops as short as five seconds, and uses AI to pin every loss to the exact machine and cause.
Our in-house automation team connects any machine, gets your first line running in weeks.
One realiable OEE tracking system across every machine you run
Everything you expect from overall equipment effectiveness software in one place – from automatic OEE calculation to loss analysis and reporting
Automatic microstops detection
Detect short, repeated interruptions automatically and identify bottlenecks before they turn into bigger production losses.
Full-line machine connectivity
Connect machines across the entire line with support for OPC UA, MQTT, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and other industrial protocols.
Live OEE and loss intelligence
Monitor OEE, availability, performance, quality, and loss patterns in real time with KPI dashboards and OEE Loss Tree analysis.
Fast path from data to action
Move from raw machine signals to clear performance decisions with an operator-focused, CI-ready layer built for shop-floor optimisation.
Alerts the moment a line slows
Machine signals feed live progress and trigger automatic notifications, so problems get caught in minutes, not at shift handover.
Elimination of double and manual reporting
Automated production reports and any-ERP integration remove duplicate data entry.
Micro Stop Detection & Root Cause Analysis powered by Accevo AI
Auto-detection from PLC signals
Every stop captured, however brief. Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, OPC-UA.
AI-powered root cause
Names and categorises each microstop automatically, finds patterns across shifts.
Pareto analysis

Accevo connect any machine in days
Most machines with an existing PLC or SCADA need no new hardware. Collect data at the edge, process it in the cloud or on-premise.
When a machine does need extra hardware, our own automation engineers install and wire it themselves – no outside integrator required.

OEE & Micro Stops Software - FAQ
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a manufacturing KPI that measures productive efficiency by multiplying three factors: Availability, Performance, and Quality. The formula is OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality. An OEE score of 85% is considered world-class; most manufacturers operate between 55–65%.
OEE monitoring software automatically collects data from production machines via PLC or SCADA connections and calculates Overall Equipment Effectiveness in real time. It replaces manual logging with continuous digital tracking, surfacing hidden losses such as microstops, slow cycles, and quality defects the moment they occur. Accevo is a full OEE monitoring software platform that also provides production execution, defect management, and Andon maintenance alerts.
Microstops are brief, unplanned production interruptions lasting under five minutes caused by sensor faults, material jams, or minor equipment issues. They are too short to be logged manually but can collectively account for 10–15% of lost production time. Accevo’s microstop detection uses PLC signals and AI algorithms to capture, name, and categorise every micro-interruption automatically, then generates Pareto charts to prioritise root causes.
Shift-end reporting shows OEE hours after the fact, when corrective action is no longer possible for the current production run. Real-time OEE tracking, as provided by Accevo, calculates and displays OEE continuously as machines run so production managers can identify and respond to downtime, speed losses, and quality issues within minutes, not hours.
The Six Big Losses are the standard TPM framework for categorising OEE reductions: (1) Breakdowns (Availability loss), (2) Setup & Adjustment (Availability loss), (3) Small Stops / Microstops (Performance loss), (4) Reduced Speed (Performance loss), (5) Startup Rejects (Quality loss), and (6) Production Rejects (Quality loss). Accevo tracks all six automatically and assigns each event to the correct loss category.
Yes. Accevo integrates bidirectionally with SAP, Oracle, Infor, and other ERP platforms. It receives production orders from ERP, executes them at the shopfloor level, and sends confirmed quantities and quality data back eliminating manual data entry. Accevo also connects to existing MES and CMMS systems for plants that need layered integration.
Initial machine connectivity and live OEE dashboards can be running within days for standard PLC protocols (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, OPC-UA). A full MES deployment including production execution, microstop analysis, and ERP integration typically takes 2-8 weeks depending on plant complexity and production line count.
