Case Study: Orchid Orthopedic boosts machine utilization with MachineMetrics

Orchid Orthopedic boosts machine utilization from 28% to 47% with MachineMetrics

Orchid Orthopedic, a medical device contract manufacturer, faced significant challenges with manual production tracking. Operators spent over 22 hours daily on paper-based, hour-by-hour tracking sheets, a process that was time-consuming, prone to errors, and delayed reporting. This lack of real-time data visibility hindered their ability to respond to shop floor issues and optimize productivity.

MachineMetrics implemented its automated production analytics platform to revolutionize data collection. The solution used tablets at each machine to capture data, integrated workflows for automated alerts, and provided real-time visibility. This eliminated 24 hours of manual data work daily and increased machine utilization from 28% to 47%, enabling more effective labor allocation and faster response times.
