Case Study: Solera boosts operational excellence with Mapex MES

Solera bets on Mapex to achieve operational excellence

Solera, a leading manufacturer of low-voltage electrical equipment, was driven by a lean manufacturing initiative to gain greater visibility and control over its production processes. To move beyond manual data collection and achieve operational excellence, the company sought a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and chose the Mapex platform for its usability, customizability, and integration capabilities.

Mapex implemented its Production and Quality modules, providing real-time data from the factory floor. This solution delivered significant results, including a 5-point increase in OEE, a 30% reduction in mold change time, and a 4.8% decrease in personnel costs relative to turnover. The success at the Paterna facility has led Solera to plan a rollout of the Mapex system to its second plant.
