Case Study: HKScan Achieves 20% OEE Improvement with Evocon

How HKScan Uses Evocon to Maximize Machine Utilization

HKScan, one of Scandinavia’s largest meat and food manufacturers, wanted a better way to understand production performance and maximize machine utilization across its packaging lines. Before working with Evocon, the team relied on paper and Excel to track output, downtime, and other production metrics, which left them with incomplete data, little visibility into root causes, and no live view of OEE or machine utilization.

Evocon implemented real-time production monitoring with sensors, touchscreen displays, and operator training across HKScan’s packaging lines in Estonia and Latvia. The system gave the company live visibility into downtime reasons and performance by machine, shift, crew, and product, helping it hold weekly downtime meetings and target corrective actions more effectively. As a result, HKScan improved OEE by 20% on average in six months and reduced paperwork while increasing transparency and shop-floor engagement.
