Case Study: Sonoco saves $50K and reduces unplanned downtime with L2L

Sonoco saves $50k in 9 months with L2L

Sonoco, a packaging solutions company, faced challenges with unpredictable equipment failures, particularly with their industrial KBA curing unit fans. These failures caused significant unplanned downtime and cascading production delays across multiple lines. To address this, Sonoco partnered with vendor L2L to implement its platform featuring real-time sensors for condition-based monitoring.

By using L2L's technology to monitor equipment health and trigger proactive maintenance, Sonoco achieved substantial results within nine months. They reduced unplanned downtime by 72 hours and saved $50,000 on just two production lines. Additional benefits included $8,000 in cost avoidance from third-party vibration analysis and a 25% reduction in fan replacement costs. L2L's solution provided Sonoco with the real-time insights needed to optimize maintenance resources and improve overall production reliability.
