Case Study: Bednark gains data-driven resource planning and CapEx insights with Guidewheel

Bednark uses Guidewheel to guide CapEx decisions for 13 critical machines

Bednark, a vertically-integrated custom fabricator, faced challenges in optimizing its manufacturing operations amidst a tight labor market and the need for smart capital expenditure (CapEx) decisions as the company grew. To tackle these issues, they partnered with Guidewheel and implemented its FactoryOps platform on 13 critical machines to gain data-driven visibility into their production floor.

By using Guidewheel, Bednark gained insights into machine run times and production bottlenecks. This allowed them to reconfigure workforce schedules for greater efficiency and make informed CapEx decisions based on actual machine utilization data instead of word-of-mouth. The solution from Guidewheel helped Bednark maximize its existing human and financial resources, enabling the company to stay agile and continue its growth.
