Prenso Metal gains 13 extra production days per year with ProGrow

Prenso Metal, a metalworking company specializing in high-precision stamping for the automotive industry, faced significant inefficiencies from its reliance on manual, paper-based data collection. This process created a major information delay, preventing real-time reactions to operational problems and hindering an accurate analysis of equipment downtime and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). To eliminate this administrative burden and gain a real-time view of its shop floor, Prenso Metal turned to vendor ProGrow for a digital solution.

ProGrow implemented its solution, equipping machines with IoT devices and introducing tablets to digitize the shop floor. This provided real-time monitoring and full ERP integration. The key feature was a mobile app with generative AI, allowing management to interact with factory data using natural language. The results for Prenso Metal were substantial: an 11% reduction in unplanned downtime, which equated to gaining 13 extra production days per year. Furthermore, OEE increased by 2.4 percentage points, translating to over €68,500 in additional EBITDA. ProGrow's implementation provided unprecedented operational agility and data-driven decision-making.
