Case Study: Morgan Olson Achieves 72% Machine Utilization with MachineMetrics

Morgan Olson Achieves 72% Machine Utilization with MachineMetrics on AWS

Morgan Olson, a manufacturer of aluminum delivery trucks, faced a challenge in accurately measuring machine utilization at its Michigan factory. Its paper-based system for tracking downtime was unreliable, leading to uncertainty about true production capacity and a potential need for expensive new equipment. To solve this, Morgan Olson implemented the MachineMetrics Industrial IoT Platform.

The MachineMetrics solution automatically collected and analyzed production data, providing a complete, real-time view of machine performance. This data-driven approach allowed Morgan Olson to boost machine utilization by 20 percent at the Michigan factory, achieving 72% utilization and eliminating the need for costly outsourcing. Based on this success, the company plans to expand the use of MachineMetrics to its additional factories.
