Case Study: Butler Gas reduces overtime and boosts production visibility with Datacor TrackAbout

Butler Gas cuts overtime with Datacor’s real-time production dashboards

Butler Gas, a gas distributor and producer based in Pittsburgh, faced a challenge in managing its cylinder filling production, which often required staff to work overtime to meet daily targets. This led to increased costs and disruption for employees. To address this, the company partnered with vendor Datacor and its TrackAbout cylinder tracking service to develop a real-time production dashboard.

Datacor implemented a web-based dashboard that updates every minute, displaying daily, weekly, and monthly cylinder fill counts by type and filler. This solution provided real-time visibility for the entire team. As a result, Butler Gas significantly reduced its overtime requirements, saving money and improving work-life balance for employees. The project also helped foster a more accountable, metrics-driven culture within the company. Datacor was noted as being great to work with and even customized the solution for non-barcoded cylinders.
