Case Study: Lake Cable achieves 30% process productivity gain with Oden Technologies

Adopting Oden Drives 8% Increase in Monthly Capacity

Lake Cable, LLC, a leading wire and cable manufacturer for over 25 years, faced significant challenges in meeting production targets. The company was unable to identify the root causes of its inefficiencies and trailed other industries in adopting Industry 4.0 analytics, making its investment in a solution a considerable risk. They partnered with Oden Technologies to pinpoint the levers needed to increase capacity and improve quality.

By implementing Oden's analytics platform, Lake Cable was able to immediately identify that excessively long downtime events were a primary issue. The solution provided a common language for all employees to categorize downtime, find root causes, and build action plans. This led to measurable results, including an 8% increase in monthly capacity, a 25% improvement in first-pass yield, and a 30% gain in process engineer productivity, allowing Oden to deliver a substantial return on investment.
