This article explains how to measure manufacturing productivity using Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) with AWS IoT SiteWise, using an airport baggage handling system as a real-world example.

• OEE measures quality, performance, and availability to identify manufacturing inefficiencies
• CloudRail sensors and AWS IoT SiteWise collect and process baggage system data automatically
• Four industrial-grade sensors monitor vibration, speed, and baggage throughput
• AWS IoT SiteWise transforms raw sensor data into OEE metrics and calculations
• Availability calculated from machine run time versus downtime periods
• Quality measured by successful bags counted versus dubious detections
• Performance compared against ideal run rate of 300 bags per hour
• AWS IoT SiteWise dashboards provide real-time OEE visibility and insights

The solution demonstrates how cloud-connected sensors and AWS services enable rapid deployment of OEE monitoring for industrial equipment, improving operational visibility and optimization.
