For automotive component manufacturers

OEE and traceability for automotive component manufacturing

Tier suppliers under customer pressure to report OEE — machining, assembly and inspection on the machines already installed.

How do tier suppliers report OEE to their customers?

By capturing cycle, downtime and reject counts at the machine automatically, rather than transcribing them from a shift register at the end of the day. Coneqt OEE reads state and counts from the existing controls, attributes cycle time to the part number being run, and reason-codes downtime so target against actual is defensible in a customer audit rather than reconstructed for one. Pricing is ₹499–1,499 per machine per month.

What gets captured on the line

Cycle time per part number, not per machine average
Good and reject counts at each operation
Machine run, stop, starved and blocked state
Changeover duration between part numbers
Alarm and fault codes from the control
Shift and operator attribution where the control exposes it

What an audit usually exposes

Changeover between part numbers

A high-mix tier supplier changes over far more often than a volume plant, and the time is rarely recorded against the part that caused it.

Rejects found late

Counted at final inspection rather than at the operation that made them, so the machine keeps producing the same fault.

Micro-stops on transfer lines

Individually under a minute, collectively larger than the breakdown everyone remembers.

Target against actual, by shift

The gap that is easy to argue about verbally and hard to argue with once it is logged per part number.

What does it cost for 10 machines?

List pricing, nothing else. 10 machines on the Professional tier at ₹999 per machine per month, billed monthly with no lock-in. Gateway hardware, where a site needs it, is quoted separately and confirmed in writing before installation.

Worked example, excl. GST
₹9,990 / month
10 machines × ₹999 · Professional tier · ₹1,19,880 over twelve months
Questions

What people in this sector ask first

Can it report OEE per part number rather than per machine?

Yes. Cycle and counts are attributed to the part number running at the time, which is what a customer OEE report normally asks for.

Does it change the machine programme?

No. The gateway sits alongside the control and reads. It is not in the control path.

Can we export the data for a customer audit?

Data export is available, and API access is included from the Enterprise tier. The public API reference is still being written.
