Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company achieves 14% inventory reduction, 30% cost savings and 50% shorter lead times with Hitachi Vantara's Lumada

Lumada Tackles the Biggest Manufacturing Floor Issues with Dynamic Scheduling and Optimization

Global Manufacturing Company faced persistent shop‑floor bottlenecks, fluctuating demand and the need to improve on‑time delivery — including ad‑hoc express orders — by better integrating IT and OT systems. To address production scheduling, resource allocation and visibility challenges, the company worked with Hitachi Vantara using the Lumada IoT platform and dynamic schedule‑optimization capabilities.

Hitachi Vantara implemented a single data lake, real‑time shop‑floor visualization, advanced analytics and machine‑learning models to proactively optimize schedules and feed optimal plans to the MES. As a result, the Global Manufacturing Company reduced inventory of control panels by 14%, cut overall costs by 30% and shortened major product lead times by 50% while improving asset utilization and on‑time delivery.
