Case Study: Semper boosts packaging line efficiency and OEE by 16% with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing OEE

Increases the Efficiency of Packaging Lines with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing OEE

Semper, a Nordic leader in baby food and gluten‑free products with about EUR 130M in turnover and 200 regional employees, faced manual production follow‑up at its Götene packaging facility. Operators collected downtime data after shifts, which made root‑cause analysis unreliable and morning meetings slow and based on guesswork.

In 2015 Semper deployed Aptean Industrial Manufacturing OEE across six packaging lines, giving operators real‑time downtime reporting and plant‑wide OEE displays. The system improved monitoring and morning meeting efficiency, increased operator ownership of data, and raised combined OEE from 50% to 58% (a 16% improvement), prompting plans to expand the solution across other production areas.
