Case Study: Polyplast Müller boosts production efficiency with Checkmk

Polyplast Müller monitors 300+ hosts with Checkmk

Polyplast Müller (ppm), a family-owned plastics finishing company, needed to better monitor its IT and production assets to identify potential problems early. Their IT team sought a solution that was easy to use without extensive prior experience and that offered professional support. They chose to implement Checkmk Pro to gain more accurate information about their infrastructure's health and improve efficiency.

Using Checkmk, ppm was able to extend monitoring from its IT infrastructure to include production equipment like PLCs and IoT sensors. The solution provided tailored notifications, including automated phone calls for critical alerts, and enabled monitoring of service provider VPN access. As a result, Checkmk allows ppm to ensure optimal operating conditions, efficiently address anomalies, and coordinate maintenance precisely, leading to less unplanned work. The monitoring now covers over 300 hosts and 12,500 services across two sites.
