Case Study · Manufacturing
IoT-enabled automation and predictive maintenance across four plants, cutting defects 27%.
Four plants ran largely manual production lines with defect rates that varied threefold between sites for reasons nobody could isolate. Quality data existed but sat in paper logs and per-machine controllers that never spoke to each other.
We instrumented the lines before automating them. Six months of sensor data made the variance legible — and showed that two of the four plants needed process changes rather than new equipment.
Defect rates fell 27% across the network, with the largest gains at the two plants that received process changes rather than new machinery. Unplanned downtime dropped as predictive maintenance replaced fixed-interval servicing.
Defect rates fell 27% within a year of their automation programme.
