Track availability, performance, and quality across every line, no matter whose PLC runs it. ControlCom Connect turns Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, and legacy controllers into one OEE dashboard, without ripping out what you already own.
Most plants run equipment from a dozen vendors bought over thirty years. The OEE stack is usually built for exactly one of them.
FactoryTalk is built Allen-Bradley first; the further your floor gets from a pure Logix shop, the more friction you hit. Real plants mix Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, ABB, and controllers older than the engineers running them. A single-vendor OEE tool leaves half the floor dark.
When a line stops, the reason gets written on a clipboard or lost entirely. Without automated downtime capture tied to live machine state, the Pareto of what is actually costing you uptime is a guess, and the morning meeting argues about anecdotes instead of numbers.
Each line has its own HMI and its own spreadsheet. There is no portfolio view of OEE by line, shift, product, or site, so benchmarking one cell against another, or one plant against the network, means exporting CSVs and stitching them by hand.
Classic MES and historian rollouts are capital projects measured in quarters and integrator hours. By the time the first OEE chart appears, the line has changed. Plants need a working number in the same week the project starts, not after a six-month integration.
The same platform that connects the machines is the one operators, supervisors, and plant managers use to run the floor.
ControlCom Connect delivers OEE software that works across the equipment you already own. Pre-built connectors for Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, and MQTT pull live state, counts, and faults off Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, ABB, and legacy controllers, then compute availability, performance, and quality into a single OEE number per line, per shift, per product. Automated downtime capture, real-time production monitoring, and audit-ready reporting, all from one cloud dashboard.
Most plants lose 30 to 50 percent of potential output to downtime, micro-stops, and quality losses they cannot see in time to act. The cause is rarely the equipment; it is the visibility. A historian that does not reach half the lines, an HMI per cell with no rollup, and downtime reasons that never make it into data. ControlCom Connect collapses that into one pane of glass, so the gap between a line stopping and someone knowing why is measured in seconds.
Multi-plant manufacturers get a fleet view on day one: OEE rolled up by line, shift, product, plant, or region, with the worst performers surfaced automatically. The same data that runs the daily standup runs the quarterly review and the continuous-improvement program. Pre-built protocol connectors and a containerized edge agent mean a line is producing an OEE number within days, not after a multi-quarter MES rollout.
The features that move OEE on a real, mixed-vendor floor, pulled from the same platform that connects the machines.
Live OEE per line, cell, and asset, broken into its availability, performance, and quality components. Compare against takt and ideal cycle time, track first-pass yield, and see the single number trend by shift, product, or crew without exporting anything.
Pre-built connectors for Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, BACnet, and MQTT bring Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, ABB, and legacy controllers into one platform. No rip-and-replace, no Allen-Bradley tax, no second-class treatment for non-Logix lines.
Downtime is detected from live machine state, not a clipboard. Reasons are captured, categorized, and rolled into a Pareto so the morning meeting argues from data. Micro-stops and slow cycles that hide inside performance loss finally show up where you can act on them.
A single portfolio view across every line, cell, shift, and site. Roll up OEE by product family, plant, or region, and benchmark the network against itself. The worst performers surface automatically instead of waiting for a monthly report.
Counts, rates, cycle times, and quality data are logged continuously with full history. Anomaly detection surfaces drifting cycle times and developing quality issues before they become scrap, and any dashboard exports as a PDF for any historical date range.
Native iOS and Android apps with per-user notification routing and SMS, email, and Slack delivery. A supervisor sees the line down on a phone on the floor at 2am, the same single pane of glass they use on a workstation at 9am.

Common questions from plant managers, controls engineers, and continuous-improvement teams evaluating ControlCom Connect.
Yes, that is the entire point. ControlCom Connect is vendor-neutral by design. Pre-built connectors for Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, BACnet, and MQTT treat Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, ABB, and legacy controllers as equals. A mixed-vendor floor lands in one OEE dashboard without a rip-and-replace project.
Pick a line, any vendor, any vintage. We run the pilot. You see live OEE, automated downtime, and production analytics within days, not months. No credit card, no commitment.
