30% Faster Changeovers, 105% ROI

Lean Changeover & Real-Time Production Insights

Our Client (Tenneco) faced the challenges of demanding production schedules and just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing and struggled with slow and inefficient production line changeovers. Inconsistent communication and manual processes were causing significant downtime, hindering overall output.

After a thorough analysis, we implemented our Andon - real-time production alert system system, which provides real-time issue reporting and resolution coupled with advanced optimization algorithms. This powerful combination has streamlined tool and machine-switching processes.

Result: The result was a 30% reduction in production line changeover time, translating to $240,000 in annual savings and a 105% return on investment (ROI).

40% Faster Maintenance, $500K+ Savings

AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance & CMMS Integration

The client (Tenneco) proactively sought to optimize operations, reduce waste, and lower costs across their production lines. Recognizing the potential for improvement in their maintenance processes, we implemented an AI-driven predictive maintenance system.

This system analyzed real-time equipment data and historical records, proactively identifying potential issues before they escalated. By integrating this system with predictive maintenance and work order management system (CMMS), the client streamlined task organization and tracking.

Result: Maintenance response times improved by 40%, equipment reliability surged, and smoother operations generated over $500,000 in savings, including a $480,000 reduction in intralogistics costs.

Over 50% Reduction in Intralogistics Costs; 244% ROI

Automated Forklift Management for Faster Processing & Reduced Downtime

Our client struggled with inefficient forklift management, rising costs, and logistical delays caused by manual workflows and poor route planning. To address these challenges, we implemented the advanced forklift management solution forklift task and intralogistics flow management system (Forkfleet) that automated workflows, optimized fleet usage, and improved route planning.

By reducing the reliance on operators and consolidating the number of forklifts, the system streamlined operations, shortened order processing times, and minimized production downtime.

Beyond automation, our solution delivered actionable insights through real-time data analytics, enabling smarter decision-making and continuous process optimization.

Result: Intralogistics costs were cut by over 50%, resulting in $110,000 in annual savings from staff reductions alone and achieving a 244% ROI — all while enhancing operational efficiency and workplace safety.

25% Downtime Reduction, Enhanced Safety

Real-Time Monitoring & Skills-Based Tasking

Our client asked us to optimize its operations proactively by minimizing downtime and enhancing workplace safety. Recognizing the potential for improvement in machine utilization and task assignment, we came up with a comprehensive solution.

This involved a real-time monitoring system that tracks machine performance and energy consumption, ensuring optimal asset allocation. In parallel, a workforce competency and task assignment system (Skills Matrix) was introduced to align tasks with employees’ competencies, reducing errors and improving safety protocols.

Result: These solutions resulted in a 25% reduction in downtime, improved resource efficiency across the plant, and a dramatically safer working environment.

Reduced machine downtime, saving $162,000 annually; 900% ROI

Reduced Machine Downtime, $162,000 Annual Savings; 900% ROI

IoT-Enabled Predictive Maintenance Optimized the Shop Floor

Excessive machine downtime was driving substantial operational losses for the client, compounded by fragmented manual monitoring and reactive maintenance workflows. To address these inefficiencies, we engineered a solution using custom IoT sensors for real-time machine condition monitoring.

These sensors enabled immediate detection of unplanned stoppages and triggered responses through the Incident Reporting and Escalation System (real-time production alert and escalation system (Andon 4.0)), which prioritized critical issues and provided detailed reports to track downtime, costs, and resolution accountability.

To enhance accountability and operational visibility, we integrated a web-based downtime management system. This platform tracked incidents, generated cost analytics reports, and escalated unresolved downtime events. If machine stoppages exceeded a 15-minute threshold, SMS alerts with downtime cost impacts and responsible personnel details were automatically dispatched to shop floor leadership for swift corrective action.

Result: By transitioning to an IoT-driven predictive maintenance approach, unplanned downtime was reduced significantly, saving $162,000 annually across six critical machines and delivering an exceptional 900% ROI.

Cut Packing Time by 42%, Saving $920,000 Annually

AI-Powered Image Recognition Optimized Packing Workflows

The client faced inefficiencies at their PACK-type workstations, where manual carton selection caused delays, errors, and increased material waste. To address this, we implemented an AI-driven image recognition system that identifies the optimal carton within 180 milliseconds, eliminating the need for employee interpretation.

By automating this critical decision point, the solution accelerated packing workflows, reduced errors, and minimized oversized carton usage, driving substantial cost savings.

Additionally, we redesigned the packing station layout to improve ergonomics, reducing worker fatigue and enhancing throughput.

Result: These changes delivered a 42% reduction in packing time, translating to $920,000 in annual savings for a single facility. Rolling out this solution across a logistics network would unlock millions in annual savings across the supply chain.

Following a detailed discovery phase and a successful pilot deployment, we implemented a comprehensive smart safety system tailored to the production environment.

The system integrated warning lights, projection-based boundary markers, and precision-guided light-based delineation lines, powered by a localization module for situational accuracy.

High-visibility alerts were automatically triggered whenever forklifts or other industrial vehicles entered designated high-risk zones. Localization ensured alerts were confined to affected areas, eliminating unnecessary interruptions and maintaining workflow efficiency. This precision targeting delivered immediate visual warnings to operators, mitigating hazards and reducing accident risks.

Result: Significantly enhanced workplace safety, minimized incident rates, improved cross-team communication, reduced unplanned downtime, and reinforced overall production resilience and throughput.
