Case Study: Paragon Medical Doubles Capacity with MachineMetrics

Paragon Medical doubles capacity with MachineMetrics and boosts OEE 49%

Paragon Medical, a medical device manufacturer, faced challenges in understanding its true machining capacity and operational efficiency due to its diverse range of over 1,000 pieces of equipment spread across a wide geographic footprint. The company relied on manual data tracking, which was time-consuming, error-prone, and provided delayed data that lacked actionability. This made it difficult to measure capacity and respond quickly to shop floor events.

MachineMetrics implemented its machine-agnostic platform, which was easily connected to Paragon's equipment. The solution provided real-time data and standardization across the enterprise. As a result, Paragon achieved a 100% increase in production in bottlenecked areas, a 140% increase in machine utilization, a 49% increase in OEE, and produced an additional 5,800 good parts. The ROI from a pilot program paid for the company-wide deployment of MachineMetrics.
