Case Study: tesa improves manufacturing OEE and response times with Mendix

tesa improves OEE by 5.6% with Mendix

tesa, a multinational manufacturer of adhesive products, faced fragmented operational visibility and data silos at its Suzhou factory, which hindered its ability to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The challenge was to turn vast amounts of operational data into faster, coordinated action. tesa chose the Mendix low-code platform to build a unified digital manufacturing operations management (MOM) platform to standardize processes and improve responsiveness.

Using Mendix, tesa Site Suzhou rapidly developed and integrated six custom applications, including a central ePDCA platform for event management. The solution resulted in a 5.6% increase in OEE, a 70% decrease in maintenance response time, and a 50% improvement in quality incident closure rates with AI predictive models. Mendix enabled tesa to create an intelligent, connected operational environment that significantly improved coordination and decision-making.
