Morgan Olson saves $600K in CapEx with MachineMetrics

Morgan Olson, a leading walk-in van body manufacturer, faced challenges due to its reliance on a paper-based system for tracking machine utilization. This manual process resulted in inaccurate and delayed data, which hindered decision-making and left the company blind to its true production capacity. To address this, Morgan Olson partnered with vendor MachineMetrics to implement its machine data platform for automated data capture and analysis.

The solution from MachineMetrics involved connecting its platform to all machine assets, providing real-time data and visibility. This eliminated manual data entry and gave operators tools for contextualizing information. The implementation exposed hidden capacity, allowing Morgan Olson to avoid purchasing new machines and reduce outsourcing. The measurable results included saving over $600,000 in capital expenditure and achieving a 20% increase in equipment utilization.
