Case Study: a global building materials manufacturer improves OEE and reduces downtime with C3 AI

Global Building Materials Manufacturer boosts OEE by up to 5% with C3.ai

A global building materials manufacturer faced challenges scaling its AI program to monitor complex assets and processes across its paper mills. Its existing systems could not effectively contextualize issues at an asset level or utilize massive, disparate data sets with advanced machine learning. To address this, the manufacturer partnered with C3.ai to leverage the C3 AI Reliability application and the C3 AI Platform.

By implementing C3.ai's solution, the manufacturer integrated AI into its operations, significantly improving monitoring performance and reducing unplanned downtime. The project resulted in hundreds of hours of avoided downtime and improved overall equipment effectiveness by up to 5%. Building on this success, C3.ai helped the manufacturer rapidly scale the application to monitor over 200 assets across 13 mills.
