Case Study: Weir Minerals increases throughput and cuts WIP with 42Q

Weir Minerals increases throughput by 53% with 42Q

Weir Minerals, a manufacturer of specialist pumping systems, faced challenges in improving manufacturing performance and asset utilization across its diverse global operations. They needed to replace manual and paper-based processes with a cloud-based MES solution to enable real-time data for decision-making and support their Industry 4.0 strategy. They selected 42Q as their manufacturing execution system partner.

The solution from 42Q was implemented using their Digital Factory Xcelerator, which provided the necessary real-time data visibility and integration. This rollout led to significant operational improvements, including a 53% increase in foundry throughput, a 37% reduction in WIP inventory, and an improvement in first pass yield from 90% to 99.1%. 42Q became a fundamental part of Weir's global operations.
