Are you really measuring efficiency — or just guessing? Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the gold standard for measuring productivity in #manufacturing. But the problem is that many teams miscalculate it or don’t track it at all. When measured right, OEE gives you: ?? A clear picture of where inefficiencies are hiding. ?? Insight into how well your equipment is running. ?? The data you need to reduce downtime and increase output. OEE is more than just a number — it’s a metric that provides better visibility leading to better decisions that unlock opportunities to improve shop floor operations. Want to make sure you’re calculating OEE the right way? We break it all down in our latest blog. Read the full article here: https://hubs.li/Q03cPQ6q0 (We’ll also drop it in the comments below ??)

Our time at the Generis American Manufacturing Summit 2025 is wrapping up - but the insights are far from over. It’s been two days of great conversations with manufacturers, making new connections, and a deeper look into the challenges and opportunities shaping modern manufacturing. We’ve had the chance to: ?? Showcase our platform and how it helps manufacturers eliminate disruptions. ?? Hear from customers, manufacturers, and about their biggest challenges and priorities (and how we can help). ?? Share our expertise on how to reduce downtime while driving efficiency and collaboration. Another huge shoutout to Eric Whitley, Niko Davis, Stephen Gorham, and Ianni Le for their work this week, and thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and helped make this event a success! #GenerisAMS #MfgUS25 #ManufacturingLeadership #Innovation

What’s the real cost of a line stoppage? A lot of money. A lot of time. And a lot of product. Unplanned downtime delays production, increases operational costs, and adds stress to your frontline teams, reducing efficiency. But why do these stoppages keep happening—and how can manufacturers get ahead of them? Listen to our latest podcast episode with Mohsin Saeed as we dig into the biggest drivers of downtime on the shop floor and actionable steps to minimize disruptions and keep production flowing.

Chicago, we’ll see you tomorrow ?? The Generis American Manufacturing Summit (AMS) 2025 starts Wednesday! L2L is there to show how visibility and collaboration start with eliminating unplanned downtime and reducing planned downtime (not to mention a fantastic CMMS). ??Where? Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel ?? When? March 19-20 Visit our booth to learn from Eric Whitley, Chip Pritchard VI, and Niko Davis how to start connecting your teams with better data and better tools.

We had a favorite story to tell at our PACK EXPO Southeast booth last week. Something to the tune of: ? 72 hours of downtime reduction ?? $25,000 reduction in fan replacement costs ?? $8,000 LESS spent every year on 3rd party vibration analysis L2L delvers these benefits (and more) to Sonoco Metal Packaging with our condition-based maintenance solution. Teams are notified in real-time when the necessary maintenance is needed via L2L Dispatch, and Sonoco no longer deals with major downtime events. It's a great feeling to be able to share these results at a major event like Pack Expo. Another huge shoutout to Chip Pritchard VI, JP Payne and Andy Breneman for your hard work at this event! #PACKEXPO #Packaging #Manufacturing #Automation #Packagingindustry

How often do you deal with line stoppages on the shop floor? Is it weekly? Daily? Hourly? However often they happen, we know the damage they cause to productivity, margins, and product quality (not to mention your mood). The cause of these stoppages? It’s a mixed bag. There are so many variables in a production environment that can cause unplanned downtime: ??? Machine faults ??♂?Human errors ??Safety concerns ?Quality issues The list goes on… So how do we minimize something so prevalent and with so many root causes? Luckily, there are ways to stop stoppages before they stop you. Better tech, better data, and better visibility will boost your ability to respond to stoppages when they occur while providing the insights to keep them from happening in the first place.
