Case Study: Service Spring Corporation reduces manufacturing downtime with Allied Telesis

Service Spring Corporation cuts downtime with Allied Telesis and saves substantial PTP costs

Service Spring Corporation (SSC), a leading manufacturer in the overhead door industry, faced costly production downtime because its outdated legacy network did not support the critical industrial protocols PTP and CIP/IO. This failure caused its manufacturing hardware to lose synchronization, halting operations and resulting in material waste. SSC needed a cost-effective network upgrade from a vendor that could provide this essential support.

Allied Telesis implemented a new high-availability industrial network using its x250, IE340, and x230 series switches. The solution provided full support for PTP and CIP/IO at a fraction of the cost of other vendors. The results were immediate, with the new network running correctly and eliminating time synchronization losses. SSC experienced far less manufacturing downtime, preventing material waste and saving a substantial amount of money on both hardware and licensing fees.
