Case Study: Bush Brothers achieves 2.2M more cases/year and $395K annual savings with Parsec Automation

Bush Brothers - Customer Case Study

Bush Brothers, the century-old canned foods manufacturer, needed to move beyond paper and a cumbersome homegrown downtime-tracking system to gain real-time plant-wide visibility, reduce equipment downtime, and improve production planning. They engaged Parsec Automation to deploy TrakSYS™, an operations management platform, to replace manual logs and provide electronic forms, task management, and integrated analytics.

Parsec Automation implemented TrakSYS™ with ERP, SCADA and plant-historian integrations, electronic logbooks, production scheduling, SPC and automated task/quality management to surface root causes and drive continuous improvement. The solution produced measurable results in 2014: 2.2 million more cases, elimination of 27 shifts, $395,000 in annual savings, >85% production efficiency, >96% final product quality, >99.7% on-time order fulfillment and a return on investment in under one year.
