Evocon OEE & Production Monitoring

Evocon is an Estonian software company that builds a cloud-based OEE and production monitoring system. Its founders started from the experience of a car windshield factory that ran 24/7 but could not see why output fell short. The product is used in more than 60 countries, in 22 languages and across 14 industries such as food, wood, plastics and metal.

A small IIoT device reads signals from machine sensors or PLC outputs and sends them to the cloud, where OEE, downtime and speed losses are calculated automatically. Operators add stop reasons on a shift view, and managers see dashboards, factory overviews, reports, digital checklists and alerts. Customers include Mars, Saint-Gobain Romania, Yara and ThaiNamthip, the Coca-Cola bottler in Thailand and Laos.

• Automatic data collection: an IIoT device captures machine signals and calculates OEE in real time.
• Shift view: operators log downtime reasons and see performance against target during each shift.
• Dashboards and factory overview: show machine and line status to everyone on the floor and in the office.
• Reports and alerts: standard, advanced and scheduled reports with alerts on stops and losses.
• Checklists: digitise recurring quality, cleaning and shift-handover checks tied to machine data.
• AI Analyst: reviews one month to one year of data and ranks findings by their cost in OEE.

A Vietnamese beverage or dairy plant can track OEE and stop reasons on filling and packing lines. A packaging or plastics factory can compare shifts and machines to target changeover losses. A building materials producer can use checklists and alerts to standardise quality checks across several sites.

Implementation is plug-and-play: ThaiNamthip installed Evocon on a line in Pathum Thani in one day and in Laos in two days. Customers quoted on the site report results such as a 15% OEE gain in 3 months (Toftan) and more than 25% higher production volume (Hornbaek Baltic). Per-machine pricing and a 30-day free trial let small plants start with a few lines before scaling.

Many small and mid-sized plants in Southeast Asia still record downtime on paper and cannot justify a full MES. Low-cost, cloud-based OEE monitoring that installs in days is a common first step toward a smart factory, especially for food and beverage, packaging and building materials producers serving multinational brands.

Evocon is based in Estonia and sells worldwide through direct sales and accredited partners; in Thailand and Laos it was deployed with partner Beyond 4.0. Its benchmark report covers OEE data from more than 3,500 machines in over 50 countries.
