Case Study: Smart eMeter Manufacturing Company achieves 40% OEE improvement with Keysight PathWave Analytics

Smart eMeter Manufacturer Improves Operational Equipment Effectiveness by 40 Percent

Smart eMeter Manufacturing Company, a large global IoT maker of smart electricity meters, faced rising false failures, low first-pass yield, unplanned downtime, and declining overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) as production volumes increased. To isolate process, test, and equipment variability across sites, the company engaged Keysight and deployed Keysight’s PathWave Analytics solution.

Keysight used PathWave Analytics to collect test, process and IoT sensor data, apply trend and anomaly detection, perform multi-dimensional root-cause analysis, and send actionable alerts to engineers. As a result, the Smart eMeter Manufacturing Company improved OEE by 40%, increased manufacturing productivity by 30%, and boosted throughput by 35%, while reducing downtime and enabling predictive failure prevention across its global operations.
