Challenge
A pharmaceutical manufacturer struggled with low Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) due to lack of real-time visibility into production performance. Long changeover times, frequent micro-stops, and reactive maintenance were significantly impacting productivity and causing missed production targets.
Solution
We implemented a comprehensive OEE analytics platform with real-time data collection and advanced reporting capabilities. The solution integrates with existing MES systems, provides real-time OEE calculation and visualization, automated performance reporting, and predictive analytics for maintenance scheduling to minimize unplanned downtime.
Results
The results exceeded expectations: 45% improvement in OEE scores (from 58% to 84%), 35% reduction in changeover times through better planning and scheduling, 25% decrease in maintenance costs via predictive maintenance, and $4.2M annual productivity gains. The system now provides complete production transparency.
