Case Study: INX International boosts OEE by 21.4% with Oden Technologies Process AI

INX International boosts OEE by 21.4% with Oden Technologies

INX International Ink Co., a global manufacturer of printing inks and coatings, faced challenges in improving its overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) due to a less experienced frontline workforce and an inability to proactively leverage data from its complex manufacturing execution system. To address this, the company partnered with Oden Technologies and implemented its Factory Analytics and Process AI products to empower operators and gain deeper insights.

The solution from Oden provided real-time, AI-enabled process optimization recommendations directly to INX's operators, allowing them to adjust settings for maximum performance, cost, and quality. This resulted in a 21.4% increase in OEE, a 20.4% boost in performance, and an 11% improvement in availability. INX also achieved a fivefold return on investment within six months, increased total capacity by over 4.7 million pounds, and reduced its staffing requirements by four full-time equivalents.
