Case Study: Arla Foods achieves reduced downtime and faster troubleshooting with OP5 Monitor

ROI for op5 Monitor was already evident at the first operational stop at Arla Food

Arla Foods, a large international dairy company, faced costly production stops at its Götene facility in Sweden, where even short outages could halt work for hundreds of employees. With monitoring platforms and documentation lacking, IT struggled to keep visibility into the production environment and troubleshoot incidents quickly, creating an urgent need for better control. OP5 Monitor was selected to help address these challenges.

OP5 implemented a centralized monitoring solution for Arla Foods that unified oversight of the production site and warehouse, including switches, firewalls, wireless access points, servers, the PLC control system, and nearly 700 services. With OP5, Arla Foods gained faster troubleshooting, proactive issue detection, and much better uptime; most of the previous operational stops were eliminated, and the ROI was clear after the first incident, which alone covered the full investment in the monitoring platform.
