The OEE Impact data collection terminals have an optional Ethernet Wi-Fi capability, that is said to allow users to move real time data collection terminals from machine to machine when required, saving money on fixed units.
The software includes the open database interface in the price, which is said to allow data to be exchanged with SCADA, ERP or other third party systems to allow population of OEE Impact's database through an XML interface.

OEE Impact Connect's report builder is the heart of the software and comes with 200 standard reports that can be fine tuned without specialist computer skills.

Gemba said that it scales the product price by the number of assets that are to be monitored and that users could be running with OEE Impact for GBP 3,800 ($7,000, or 5,400 Euros) which includes the Connect software and data collection hardware needed to implement the real time data collection and reporting system, with a training course also included.
