Case Study: RAPAC reduces scrap and improves quality with Guidewheel

RAPAC catches quality issues more than a week earlier with Guidewheel

RAPAC, a large EPS recycling and services company, faced the challenge of minimizing scrap and improving product quality in its manufacturing process. Their previous method of tracking machine performance through manual, paper-based systems was inefficient. They partnered with Guidewheel and implemented its FactoryOps platform to gain better visibility and catch production issues early.

Using Guidewheel, RAPAC gained real-time visibility into machine performance, allowing them to identify leading indicators of quality problems, such as drops in machine load. This enabled the team to swiftly address root causes, like material mix issues or equipment failures, drastically reducing their response time. Guidewheel's alert system also helped monitor critical support equipment. The solution significantly reduced scrap, improved quality, and enhanced overall production efficiency for RAPAC.
