Case Study: Leading Global Heavy Equipment Manufacturer Saves $316K with Advanced Technology Services

Streamlining Part Repairs and Calibration with ATS Saves Global Heavy Equipment Manufacturer $316K

Advanced Technology Services (ATS) worked with a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer at its 2.4 million-square-foot Iowa plant, where more than 1,000 employees were struggling to track offsite repairs and welding equipment calibration. Plant teams had to contact outside vendors directly for status updates, and there was no consistent system to monitor vendor performance or equipment failure trends.

ATS implemented a parts repair and calibration process using its ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 accredited facilities, along with a barcode tracking system to provide real-time status visibility and a single point of contact. With ATS managing the workflow, the manufacturer improved efficiency, reduced downtime, and achieved an estimated $316K in Level 3 cost avoidance in the first seven months.
