To underscore the importance of Overall Equipment Effectiveness to plant operations and efficiency, GE Fanuc’s booth (S-1000 in the Emerging Technology Center) will be divided into the three core components of this concept. Separate Availability, Performance, and Quality sections will highlight GE Fanuc’s solutions in each of these areas and a best-in-class plant will be simulated in the OEE summing area.
