Industrial OEE Dashboard Kit with Arduino Mega + Sensor
Industrial OEE Dashboard Kit: Arduino Mega + IR Sensors, TFT Display
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform a raw machine signal into actionable production intelligence. This kit lets you build a real-time OEE dashboard that any factory manager would rely on—no cloud subscriptions, no black-box software, just open hardware you control. Use dual IR proximity sensors to count machine cycles, an ACS712 current sensor to detect running/idle states, and a DS3231 real-time clock to timestamp every event. The Arduino Mega crunches availability, performance, and quality metrics live on a 2.4-inch TFT screen, while a microSD module logs history for shift-wise analysis. Ideal for college capstone projects, Smart India Hackathon entries, or an in-house Industry 4.0 pilot.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a DIN-rail-mounted industrial monitor that counts every product cycle from two separate IR beams, tracks motor power draw to validate machine uptime, and then calculates OEE (Availability × Performance × Quality) continuously. The dashboard refreshes instantly on the TFT, colour-coding metrics that fall below target. All data is stored on microSD with RTC timestamps, so you can export daily production reports. The result is a professional tool that mirrors what deployed industrial IoT systems do—built entirely by you.
What You'll Learn
- Interface multiple industrial sensors (IR proximity, current clamp) with Arduino Mega and schedule precise readings
- Implement the OEE formula with real-time clock synchronisation, handling edge cases like short stops and idle periods
- Design a robust TFT dashboard UI with colour alerts, performance progress bars, and log file management on SPI microSD
- Prototype on a PCB and assemble components inside a DIN rail enclosure, respecting noise immunity and power regulation

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling final-year industrial automation projects will find a ready-made data-collection backbone. Smart India Hackathon teams can prototype line-monitoring solutions without fabricating sensor boards. IIT, NIT, VIT, and BITS Pilani students working on Industry 4.0 proof-of-concepts get a field-hardened platform. Even small-scale factory engineers exploring OEE digitisation will appreciate the DIN-mounted, single-supply design that mimics a real control cabinet environment.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion, reachable via QR code or WhatsApp, knows every wire and calibration step for this OEE kit. You'll get instant answers, not forum searches.
Can this OEE dashboard connect to PLCs or SCADA systems?
Directly, no — but you gain full understanding of the data pipeline. The Arduino Mega can output serial data to a gateway module (not included) that feeds plant networks, and the microSD logs are in simple CSV format for SCADA import.
Is the TFT screen bright enough for a factory floor?
The ILI9341 display is readable under indoor industrial lighting. For extremely bright environments, you can adjust backlight commands in the firmware; the enclosure’s angled view helps avoid glare.
How do I calibrate the IR sensors for accurate cycle counting?
The AI companion walks you through placing the two sensors at known distances, adjusting threshold pots, and using a built-in test routine on the Mega to verify reliable triggering before real production runs.
