Case Study: SilencerCo achieves real-time production visibility and efficiency gains with MachineMetrics

SilencerCo boosts OEE 5% with MachineMetrics

SilencerCo, a leading manufacturer of silencers, faced challenges in understanding their true machine performance and identifying the root causes of inefficiencies. They needed to shift their operators' focus to production while providing management with accurate data for real-time analysis and process improvement. To address this, they partnered with MachineMetrics to implement its machine monitoring platform to autonomously collect production data and establish benchmarks.

The solution from MachineMetrics replaced manual spreadsheets, providing real-time visibility across 42 workcenters with dashboards at each machine. This data-driven approach improved interdepartmental communication and enabled targeted process adjustments. As a result, SilencerCo achieved a 5% increase in OEE, eliminated 11.5K hours of unplanned downtime, and saw a 200% improvement in good part production. MachineMetrics also helped them increase machine utilization by 8% and decrease shop floor staffing requirements by 50%.
