The Problem
Poor machine performance at packaging manufacturer was preventing on-time delivery of products.
Poor machine performance at packaging manufacturer was preventing on-time delivery of products.
Reduction in scrap and downtime led to an additional 2.5M parts per month output.
Multinational plastics company lacked visibility into their machine performance causing them to miss shipping milestones and risk losing a key customer. Automation Intellect identified key performance issues that led to substantial improvements in output and on time shipment of parts.
“We did not understand the full impact that micro-stops were having on our output. Automation Intellect provided the ability to quantify and compare downtime, which showed us that micro-stops had a much bigger impact on productivity than the long downtime reasons did. We were able to change our focus and improve not only productivity, but also lost operator free time for value added activities.”
