Case Study: a global FMCG conglomerate achieves stronger sustainability and OEE with Acuvate's Digital Factory and Supply Chain solution

Global FMCG conglomerate achieves strong sustainability results with Digital Factory and Digital Supply Chain Initiative in partnership with Acuvate

A major global FMCG conglomerate, with over 400 brands and 160,000 employees, faced the challenge of meeting its ambitious sustainability and zero-waste agenda. Key hurdles included optimizing manufacturing throughput, monitoring Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and improving output reliability across its vast operations. To address these complex goals, the company partnered with Acuvate for a digital transformation initiative.

Acuvate deployed an end-to-end data solution built on the Microsoft BI stack, leveraging IoT sensors for automated data capture and Power BI for reporting. This provided real-time insights into OEE loss, labor productivity, and output reliability, enabling swift remediation. The solution delivered a 20% increase in OEE for several units, an 8% enhancement in output reliability, and savings of approximately 4,000 person-hours per month, marking a significant leap towards the client's sustainability objectives.
