Case Study: Grove Juice boosts output and cuts downtime with OFS

Manufacturers often believe that the faster they run the more efficient they are Grove Juice is proving them wrong

Grove Juice, a large Australian-owned fresh fruit processor, was struggling with unplanned downtime and inefficiency as it scaled its operations. Using manual data collection in spreadsheets, the company could not accurately identify the root causes of production losses or quantify improvement opportunities. This lack of clear data undermined confidence in their metrics and hampered their ability to make effective operational changes.

By implementing OFS software, Grove Juice gained real-time visibility into its production lines. OFS enabled the company to discover that running machinery at slower, optimal speeds actually increased overall efficiency by reducing operator error, mechanical failures, and unplanned downtime. This data-driven approach resulted in a 15% output increase for 350ml bottles and a 38% decrease in their unplanned downtime, proving that smarter, not faster, running is key to productivity.
