A OFS Case Study
A leading Australian and New Zealand supplier of bread and dairy products, Nudie, was struggling to accurately measure production performance and machine availability. Their reliance on manual data entry was prone to errors and prevented them from conducting accurate root-cause analysis. The lack of real-time information made it difficult to react quickly to production line issues.
OFS implemented sensors and a software suite to automate data capture from machinery. This provided real-time counts of units and line speed, while operators added contextual commentary via a shop-floor console. This solution from OFS resulted in an 80% reduction in lost-time and a 10% increase in OEE. The accurate data justified capital expenditures for training and equipment adjustments, providing an additional 100 minutes of weekly uptime.
