Challenge
A major automotive manufacturer was experiencing frequent production line stoppages due to outdated PLC programming and inefficient control systems. The company faced significant challenges with unplanned downtime, inconsistent production output, and inability to meet delivery schedules.
Solution
Our team implemented a comprehensive PLC optimization strategy using structured programming and advanced error handling techniques. We redesigned the control logic, implemented predictive diagnostics, and integrated real-time monitoring systems. The solution included failover mechanisms and automated recovery procedures.
Results
The project delivered remarkable results: 30% increase in production efficiency, 50% reduction in unplanned downtime, 25% improvement in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and $2.3M annual cost savings. The implementation was completed in 8 weeks with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
