Case Study: Carlisle Interconnect Technologies achieves real-time production metrics and detailed traceability with ShopVue by CAI Software

CarlisleIT achieves real-time production metrics and detailed traceability with ShopVue

Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CarlisleIT) faced significant challenges in its manufacturing plants, including a lack of real-time productivity metrics and the inefficiencies of manual data management via spreadsheets. This hindered continuous improvement efforts and made it difficult to identify areas for efficiency gains. To address this, they partnered with CAI Software and implemented its ShopVue manufacturing execution system (MES).

The solution from CAI Software provided real-time data collection and reporting on labor, machine performance, and production. This enabled detailed traceability, automated quality checks, and immediate downtime alerts. The measurable results were substantial, including $3 million in annual labor cost savings at one plant, a dramatic increase in throughput, and the ability to provide customers like Boeing with complete product genealogy.
