Case Study: a biscuit production facility improves OEE and reduces waste with ANT Solutions

Biscuit Production Facility - Customer Case Study

A biscuit production facility faced operational challenges including a lack of real-time visibility, high waste levels, and recurring human errors. The management lacked insight into day-to-day progress, making it difficult to identify bottlenecks or plan maintenance. Ant Solutions was engaged to address these inefficiencies with a data-driven approach, proposing a bespoke OEE Performance Monitoring system.

Ant Solutions implemented a comprehensive solution involving both hardware and software upgrades to enable machine connectivity and automated data gathering. The deployment included OEE monitoring software, integration with the ERP system, and staff training. The results included a year-over-year increase in OEE, a reduction in waste, and shorter downtimes due to preventive analysis, demonstrating a significant improvement in operational efficiency.
