Orion EMA
Equipment Monitoring and Availability
Orion EMA tracks the live status, utilisation, downtime and performance of your manufacturing equipment.
It helps manufacturers see which machines are running, idle or stopped, understand why downtime happens, and use real-time production data to improve output, OEE and capacity planning.

How Orion EMA works
Capture machine and equipment data
Data collection in Orion EMA can be either operator-driven or process-driven.
For example, if an operator notices a parts shortage on the production line, they can trigger an alert simply by pressing the alarm button on the screen.
Orion EMA can also detect process-driven events automatically, such as a machine breakdown.

Andon display
Andon boards allow real-time visualisation of production status and events.
Simple colour-coding highlights possible issues and provides an at-a-glance indication of station performance against Parts Goal or OEE metrics.

Web Based Analytics
The collected data is integrated into a comprehensive analytics and reporting tool with a similar look and feel to Sorion’s Orion Quality and Traceability database that customers are already familiar with.
With web-based reporting, teams can monitor performance across all production lines, identify opportunities for optimisation, and make confident decisions backed by accurate, real-time data.
