Case Study: Sintex achieves 5% OEE increase in one week with Factbird

Sintex increased OEE by 5% after only one week of using Factbird

Sintex, a medium-sized manufacturer of magnetic systems and powder metal components, was facing challenges with manual production data collection. This process, handled by operators and compiled in Excel spreadsheets, was inefficient and prone to human error. To address this, they turned to the Factbird® DUO solution from Factbird.

Factbird's implementation provided real-time data directly from machine PLCs, instantly revealing that numerous small stops were having a greater impact on production than previously recognized longer stops. By using this data to prioritize and address these issues, Sintex achieved a 5% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) within just one week and dramatically improved uptime.
