Case Study: PGH Bricks & Pavers achieves $120K annual savings with OFS

PGH Bricks & Pavers saves $120K a year with OFS

PGH Bricks & Pavers, one of Australia's largest clay brick manufacturers, was facing significant inefficiencies due to its reliance on paper-based processes for quality systems. This led to inaccurate data, poor visibility, and difficulty making timely decisions. The challenge for PGH was to gain a real-time source of truth to improve operations and accountability. They partnered with vendor OFS to trial its digital solution, OFS Cloud.

OFS implemented its OFS Cloud platform and Operator Console at PGH's Cecil Park site, which provided 100% visibility in just three weeks. The solution digitized quality checks and gave operators real-time insights. The results were substantial; within 30 days, PGH identified a process change that unlocked 6-8 hours of additional production weekly, leading to an estimated $120,000 in annual savings. OFS also helped PGH reduce waste, improve accuracy, and increase overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
