Very easy to deploy
We have been using OEE to measure our performance for several years. We recollected manually data on spreadsheets by line operators. Afterwards, the data was introduced to Excel. It helped, but we reached a plateau, because data wasn't real time and furthermore, we needed more detailed information, but operators where already very busy attending the machines. With Evocon, operators reduced the time invested in collecting information, because the system gives accurate information when the line stops or reduces the speed. They just need to inform about the reason of the stop or speed loss. All this information is available for everyone at the company, shift managers, maintenance teams, planification department, plant manager.
PROSIt is very easy to install. The IIoT receive a signal for each product is manufactured at the end of the line. The line operators don't have to be worrying about writing down on spreadsheets when the line stopped. Instead, they just inform to the system why the line stopped
CONSMaybe if you need a TaylorMade solution, this is not the right one. But you must think if you really need a TaylorMade solution. Probably, Evocon covers more than 90% or our needs related to OEE.

Simple, but effective.
Evocon was brought upon me, when surfing online, I was infact on youtube searching for basic manageable OEE systems, that would provide ourselves with valuable data and reasons behind these issues we were facing. To start, we set simple yet achievable goals, for example, find our OEE % and set a target that we could hit during our free trial. In which we smashed, in the first 2 weeks... I can recommend this system to primarily food production as that is our sector, however, I can see it working with other categories and plants. Pros Evocon is easy to integrate to any test system. The commissioning is simple and fast. You will gain benefits of the Evocon very fast. Outlines improvements and provides effective solutions ERP integration Wastage Control Performance reviews. Incredibly good customer support, that're always willing to provide help and assistance on your targets, hardware and software. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.
CONSCons, Some would argue it is currently slightly underdeveloped, however, given the time of establishment, they have achieved a considerable amount, with I'm sure, a lot on the way.
Reason for choosing Evocon
Very appealing visuals
Vendor Response
Thank you for the positive words Alex, it's a pleasure that our team can help you and your company and it's especially great to hear that you've reaped so many benefits in such a short time. Our tool is as good as the people using it, so kudos to everyone on your end. And we'll continue to develop our system so that you'll have more flexibility and features in the future.

Evocon review in Capterra
Posting data that is easy to read and using that to pareto our efforts.
PROSScrap and production tracking are very nice and easy to understand.
CONSProduction tracking and job distinction. We are a job shop and run multiple orders of the "same" product with little variation. There is no good way to track a single jobs progress through the production line. you can only view it as a product type not as a work order.

Meconet likes Evocon
We see where our bottlenecks are and try to optimise them not to waste time. Besides that it creates natural feeling of competition among operatos to strive over higher OEE.
PROSEasy and fast. In a fast moving manufacturing world time has great value and we are pleased that Evocon is not taking a lot of our operators time to fill and and get valuable data. It is easy and very natural, we hope it will stay that way. Working with Evocon team is very nice- they are very helpful and fast with their service. We developed an integration of our ERP system and Evocon team is very fast on working with issues if there occur anything.
CONSThere is nothing that we don't like, but we would like to see more additional things to develop in Evocon. As Evocon is doing its job around OEE, we would like to have other tools to keep OEE at high level, like some Lean principles tools implemented like TPM.
Reasons for switching to Evocon
Previous software was not informative- it was only showing actual data if the machine was running or not and no possibility to go back in time further than 24 hours to see what happened earlier.

Evocon in wood production
Our experience with Evocon showed us that even showing real-time results and situation gave us a really positive effect. When people could see how they work and how many technical stops they had, then some processes improved by itself. Due to that people started to bring out their ideas on how to make their work more effective and how to reduce technical stops. In some cases, just a small change in work organization gave 20% efficiency. In our case, the digital transformation gave us a real overview of our production. Previously we just thought what are our main problems and reasons that efficiency is not so good. By starting to use Evocon we saw what are the real problems. And now it is easier to deal with problems that really need to be solved.
PROSSoftware use is simple and logical for all users in production.
CONSThere could be some more additional modules for different manufacturing sectors

Easy implementation, Good price, Easy to use, Visually it's way ahead of other system
Measuring OEE is simple with Evocon, minimal system set up needed to easily get the data you need, and make changes to improve it going forward.Set up was simple, less than 2 weeks from intial online demo to having it installed and picking up data,
PROSInitial setup and implementation was easy - the 30 day free trial was a great touch, and doesn't start until first data is sent, so no mad rush to get things done.System was easy to setup, connecting directly to our machine's PLC was done in house.Compared to others, visually, Evocon is miles ahead, each screen you can see 3 or 4 different ways if your machine is running well with simple metrics, traffic light system, even the Mr Evocon avatar tells you if he's happy or not.
CONSNothing to complain about - but if we could have login linked to Azure AD that would be fantastic, saving user's having another login and password to remember.
Reason for choosing Evocon
Pricing was ever so slightly higher than the alternative systems we looked at, but the biggest difference between them all was the way Evocon looked - it's leaps ahead of other systems visually, easy to use and looks fantastic.
Vendor Response
Thanks, James, for the positive feedback. It's great to hear you are having success with Evocon – that is what our team is striving for each day. Also, we are working on improving our authentication system to save users from having to manage different accounts.

Evocon - a shift manager who's always there for 24/7
The best outcome after implementing Evocon on our production lines was a significant increase in productivity due to improved discipline of production workers, especially in evening and night shifts. We got going to and coming from the breaks under control, as well switching from one shift to another. Secondly, we get very valuable data about set-up times and cycle times, which we use in cost price calculations. Thirdly, through stops analysis, we are able to improve processes themselves continiously.
CONSSo far it's been a pleasure to work with this software, but sure, if we think further then the development of more customized reporting is always welcomed.

Saint-Gobain Weber Bulgaria use this program from more that one and a half year. The N-1 managers them work with it for gathering various information about future planning, demands, overall equipment efficiency, quality charts, shift management, operators comparing. The program is very fast without lagging and the info can be accessed from everywhere in the globe. The customer cervices is above the top level. The program have not been crushed since we installed it. There are regular updates. Just fantastic. Me like industrial manager recommend the EVOCON!
PROSEasy to work with the program. Easy to install. Quick access from everywhere. Operators used to work on it in 5 min after install. Easy principle of working. Various option of places to install. Great customer support. For this money there is no other program in the world.
CONSMay be the thing that all the data which we use have to be filled in excel tables. But this have to be done in all measuring programs

Visual Management at its best
This real-time OEE tool has engaged the whole shop-floor working with the losses, resulting in faster solving the problems and improved quality of waste elimination projects. The Evocon lineview gives a ‘pulse’ for the production; the same lineview is visible on multiple screens in production, maintenance and planning, improving our internal communication.
PROSHighly visual, user friendly and intuitive with appealing dashboards. Quick-to-start, a robust setup. Low maintenance - cloud based system that doesn't require programs installed on local PCs.
CONSWith all the data kept in cloud, the response time is sometimes slow, particularly when working with the real-time data from over 135 production lines from all continents.

It has been superb dealing with evocon to date. I have had a few video calls with the support team when i had a query and they are very friendly and quick to resolve any of my questions.
PROSThe software is extremely easy to use for all types of users. Very beneficial as it doesn`t take much time out of an operators role to update.
CONSthere is nothing about this that i do not like. From a set up point of view there is a bit of study and analysis but nothing too strenuous, most of the data required should be readily available in a company anyway like cycle times and part volumes.
Reason for choosing Evocon
the layout of the evocon screen and the features were very attractive and user friendly. The ease of use is a very large reason as to why we went ahead with evocon. The reporting is incredibly good and helps us understand our operations more visibly.

Fantastic; the software on its own is easy to recommend, however with the addition of the personal level of customer service that we've seen, this package is exceptional.
PROSThe simple, intuitive UI. Compared to the other products checked on the market, this seemed to have the most interactive and easily legible UI to offer the right data at levels from production operator to senior management.
CONSThe only negative about this application is it's seemed infancy. There are a few small bugs, however these have not hindered our utilisation of the application.
Reason for choosing Evocon
Primarily the UI/UX. In future, I'd use it due to both this and the business model.
