Case Study: Power Brace Manufacturing achieves 10x scrap reduction and $2M inventory savings with OmegaCube Technologies

Power Brace Manufacturing - Customer Case Study

Power Brace Manufacturing, an ISO 9001:2015 steel components maker in Des Moines, IA, faced limited shop-floor visibility—production rates, inventory levels, operator productivity and scheduling relied on guesswork, causing delays and higher costs. To address this, they selected OmegaCube Technologies and its OmegaCube ERP for a flexible solution that would adapt to their existing processes rather than forcing operational change.

OmegaCube Technologies implemented OmegaCube ERP, integrated machine monitoring, mobile data capture and tightened BOM and inventory controls; Power Brace then cut scrap tenfold (1% to 0.1%), reduced inventory carrying costs from about $3M to $1M, expanded scheduling from one day to one week, improved on-time delivery from 86% to 96%, cut emergency purchases by 67%, and lowered AP/AR errors by ~80%, while driving near‑100% capacity utilization.
