Case Study: Global Consumer Packaged Goods Company improves yield with FogHorn

Global Consumer Packaged Goods Company Improves Yield through Real-time Insights

Global Consumer Packaged Goods Company, one of the world’s top five CPG companies, needed a better way to improve yield and reduce scrap at a packaging plant without reprogramming its PLCs. The company was struggling with out-of-spec fills, limited real-time visibility into production, and the risks and expense of changing ladder logic, while also needing to keep sensitive manufacturing data on-site.

FogHorn implemented FogHorn Vel for edge data clean-up, enrichment, and analytics, along with FogHorn Viz for real-time visualization and alerts. By moving analysis to the factory floor and scaling sampling to 16X more scales in parallel, FogHorn helped the customer detect issues in real time, reduce out-of-spec packages and scrap, improve yield and operational margins, and gain new insights for future product and process improvements.
