Case Study: Carlson Products reveals hidden capacity with MachineMetrics

Carlson Products - Customer Case Study

Carlson Products, a metal stamping and fabrication manufacturer serving restaurant equipment, HVAC, transportation, and power equipment industries, needed better visibility into production after an ERP integration. The company struggled with delayed ERP data, manual data entry, poor historical labor tracking, and limited insight into real-time machine performance, making it hard to accurately forecast capacity and identify production issues.

MachineMetrics implemented machine monitoring across 15 machines with operator tablets, real-time dashboards, and instant alerts to track downtime, setups, rejections, and tool changes. With MachineMetrics, Carlson Products improved machine utilization by 24%, increased total efficiency by 10%, added 1,200 machine hours per month, and generated an estimated $288K in additional annual billings, reaching ROI in 30 days.
