Case Study: a global building materials company increases Golden Batches with Braincube

Hybrid IIoT solution increases Golden Batches for fiberglass manufacturer

A global building materials company faced significant challenges in its complex fiberglass manufacturing process, which used up to 35% recycled materials and involved numerous heating and cooling techniques. With over 150 product combinations per plant, the company needed to reduce production breaks and improve margins but lacked centralized access to its vast shop floor data. To tackle this, they partnered with Braincube to implement its Smart IIoT Platform and Digital Twins.

Braincube’s solution integrated data from seven different IT/OT systems, providing democratized access to information and enabling root cause analysis and real-time alerts via ready-to-use apps. This data-driven approach led to a 15% increase in Golden Batches, a 50% reduction in scrap, and a $1.9 million gain from improved productivity. The implementation was completed in just six weeks, allowing the company to quickly scale the solution to dozens of other production lines.
