Case Study: Excelda Manufacturing achieves paperless, real-time production with Factivity

Excelda Manufacturing cuts office labor data entry by 50% with FACTIVITY

Excelda Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer serving the automotive and other industries, faced significant challenges when implementing a new Oracle ERP system. Their goal was to create a more efficient, paperless shop floor process, but they discovered critical gaps in the new system's ability to collect real-time production data, labor, and downtime. To address this, they sought a vendor with a specialized solution and partnered with FACTIVITY to implement its shop floor control system.

Factivity provided a fully integrated, out-of-the-box solution that was installed and operational within four days. The system enabled Excelda to accurately capture real-time data on labor, materials, downtime, and other production metrics, significantly reducing manual paperwork and data entry. The results included an expected 50% reduction in office labor for data entry, a 5% improvement in data accuracy, and an anticipated 3-5% increase in run efficiency. Excelda was highly satisfied with FACTIVITY and continues to plan further integrations to leverage the data for predictive maintenance and improved scheduling.
