Case Study: NordiQ Habo achieves over 90% productivity and 24% higher availability with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing OEE

Increases Efficiency with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing OEE

NordiQ Habo, part of NordiQ Group, engineers and manufactures metal components for demanding automotive and industrial customers such as Volvo Trucks, Volvo Cars, Scania, Renault, Cargotec and Clavia. Facing manual processes and an inability to accurately measure machine downtime, NordiQ wanted tighter control over machine utilization and more actionable data beyond existing productivity and delivery metrics.

NordiQ implemented Aptean Industrial Manufacturing OEE—piloting on 12 machines and expanding to all 19 key machines across robotic press, welding and manual departments—so operators receive stop signals and codes and the system builds a detailed downtime database. The automated, structured follow-up fed daily and weekly meetings and management planning, and within 18 months availability rose 24% while overall productivity increased from 67% to just over 90%, improving operational efficiency and automating processes.
