Case Study: Pharmavite achieves 20% OEE improvement and reduced labor costs with Parsec Automation (TrakSYS™)

Discovering Target Rates & Prioritizing Losses

Pharmavite, a global leader in vitamins and supplements, needed more capacity from existing assets to meet growing demand and lacked real‑time visibility—relying on Word, ERP entry forms and Excel for OEE and downtime tracking. To gain accurate, real‑time operations intelligence without new infrastructure, Pharmavite engaged Parsec Automation and its TrakSYS™ operations management platform.

Parsec Automation implemented TrakSYS™ integrated with PLCs and Pharmavite’s ERP, deploying operator entry screens and 55" overhead displays in a pilot that was scaled across lines and sites. The solution delivered real‑time loss prioritization and capacity visibility and drove measurable results: 20% improvement in OEE, an estimated $421,000 in savings, quality up from 99% to 99.6%, 51% reduction in overtime, 43% reduction in outside labor, and a 9% improvement in schedule adherence.
