    Engineers and maintenance technicians can use the system to gain insights into packaging performance at each manufacturing site within an enterprise. The software system provides pre-built displays and real-time visualization of packaging-line operations data, including tracking of downtime and waste, as well as tracking of team performance. When fully implemented, customers have reportedly seen OEE increases on packaging lines of between 5 percent and 12 percent over time.GE Intelligent Platformswww.ge-ip.com/smartstart800.433.2682
