This unfortunately was not giving us a true picture. Blackbird introduced correct data collection/calculation and what's more important substantially boosted workforce interest in OEE itself and line performance in general. Couldn't recommend Blackbird more! Pros Streamlined front end, accurate data collection, ease of use, great customer service. Cons The only thing I would like to see in the future is integrated file system. File allocation against Products would allow us to allocate Finished Goods Specs and Safety Documentation directly in to Blackbird.
