Case Study: Flex achieves higher productivity and faster restart with Arch Systems

Emerging from shelterin-place restrictions with higher productivity and profitability than ever

The customer, Flex, faced a shutdown of its Shanghai manufacturing facility due to COVID-19 lockdowns and the challenge of restarting operations efficiently. To overcome this, they partnered with vendor Arch Systems, planning to implement a new Manufacturing IoT solution for better operational visibility.

Arch Systems provided a cloud-based manufacturing IoT solution that automated production monitoring and fed data into Flex's systems. This provided executives with real-time, remote visibility into Key Performance Indicators like Machine and Line Utilization. As a result, Flex was able to rapidly restart operations and emerge with higher productivity and profitability than before the shutdown.
