Case Study: David Packard Company boosts factory output with Datanomix production monitoring

DPC chooses Datanomix Software as a key building block in architecting future company growth

David Packard Company (DPC), a full-service machining facility, faced pressure to meet a significant spike in demand, particularly from medical customers during the Covid-19 pandemic. With plans for physical expansion delayed, DPC needed to find a way to unlock at least 20% more capacity from its existing operations. To address this challenge, they turned to the vendor Datanomix and implemented its production monitoring software.

The Datanomix solution provided real-time factory visualization and production intelligence, replacing numerous manual reports and alerting staff to issues instantly. This enabled predictive intervention, faster root cause analysis, and precise cycle time reporting. According to DPC's president, Datanomix helped drive a combined 15% increase in factory output, recovered hours of managerial time, and fundamentally shifted the company's management philosophy to be more data-driven and efficient.
