Case Study: a major global automotive company achieves real-time OEE and 20% higher machine utilization with Altizon Datonis

Major Global Automotive Company - Customer Case Study

Altizon worked with a major global automotive company, a leading auto-component manufacturer producing sheet metal parts for major automotive brands, to automate real-time Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) tracking across its assembly line. The company needed accurate end-of-shift OEE data, better visibility into machine utilization, and a way to replace slow, manual, error-prone reporting with timely operational insights.

Altizon implemented a connected-machine solution using its Datonis IoT Platform and custom sensor appliances to capture job start/stop, idle time, and other machine events in real time. The platform analyzed the data and powered dashboards for plant supervisors and management, enabling faster corrective action, better maintenance and production planning, and automatic OEE calculation. Altizon reported a 20% improvement in machine utilization, visibility into the top 10 causes of downtime, and a system that could be deployed in a single day with no upfront investment in SaaS mode.
