SISTEMAS OEE DE PRODUCTIVIDAD INDUSTRIAL SL

Their core work

Sistemas OEE builds plug-and-play hardware that captures Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) data directly from industrial machinery — without requiring custom integration or machine-specific software. OEE is the manufacturing industry's standard metric for measuring how efficiently production lines actually run, combining availability, performance, and quality into a single score. Their product is aimed at factories that want real-time production efficiency data without lengthy IT projects or vendor lock-in. They went from a feasibility prototype (SME-1, 2015) to a funded market-ready product (SME-2, 2016-2019), suggesting a commercially deployable solution exists.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both H2020 projects share identical scope descriptions, indicating a single-product company that used the SME Instrument sequentially: Phase 1 (Smooth Reader, 2015) to test commercial feasibility, Phase 2 (Smart OEE, 2016) to develop and market the same product at scale. There is no visible pivot or broadening of focus — the organization doubled down on one technology rather than diversifying. Given the timeline ends in 2019 and no further EU projects appear, they either reached commercial self-sufficiency or exited EU-funded R&D.

Their trajectory points to a product company — not a research partner — that used EU funding as a launchpad for a specific commercial product; future collaboration would likely require them as a technology provider or pilot site, not as an R&D contributor.

How they like to work

Sistemas OEE has coordinated both of their EU projects and has no recorded consortium partners — which is typical of the SME Instrument scheme, designed for solo SME applicants. This means there is no evidence of how they perform as a consortium member or how they collaborate with research institutions. Anyone considering partnering with them should expect a product-oriented company that works best when contributing a specific technology component, not as a broad research partner.

The available data shows zero consortium partners and zero international collaborations — a direct result of the SME Instrument's solo-applicant structure, not necessarily reflecting their business network. Their actual industrial client network is not visible from H2020 data.

What sets them apart

Sistemas OEE occupies a narrow but commercially relevant niche: universal, plug-and-play OEE monitoring that works across different machine types without custom integration. Most large manufacturing software vendors (SAP, Siemens, Rockwell) require deep integration projects costing far more than an SME can afford — this company's value proposition targets precisely that gap. Their successful progression from SME-1 to SME-2 suggests their concept survived EU peer review, lending some external validation to the approach.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Smart OEE
  Largest grant in their portfolio at €1.39M under SME Instrument Phase 2 — a competitive scheme with low success rates — validating both the commercial viability of their product and the strength of their business case.
• Smooth Reader
  Phase 1 feasibility award that directly led to the larger Phase 2 grant, demonstrating a deliberate and successful two-stage EU funding strategy for product commercialization.
