Case Study: PVC Compounders LLC achieves under 1% internal failures and 15–20% less downtime with AVEVA (Wonderware System Platform)

Wonderware Adds Improved Consistency, Increased Productivity and Higher Quality to the Mix for PVC Compound Fabricator

PVC Compounders LLC, a custom PVC-pellet manufacturer with facilities in Indiana and El Paso, faced tight build-to-order schedules, minimal on-site inventory, extreme temperature swings and a multilingual workforce that made consistent, accurate batching difficult. To meet strict product specifications and raise productivity while keeping quality high, PVC Compounders turned to AVEVA, deploying Wonderware solutions including the Wonderware System Platform, InTouch HMI, Historian, ActiveFactory and Performance software.

AVEVA implemented a centralized, scalable Wonderware system that linked the El Paso plant with headquarters, provided intuitive InTouch operator displays, real‑time Historian data and automated inventory and scheduling. The AVEVA solution reduced human error and scrap, cut downtime by 15–20%, helped PVC Compounders achieve internal failures of less than 1% and shortened lead times from ~2 weeks to under one week, while improving communication and process consistency.
