Case Study: Bottling and Packaging Manufacturer reduces downtime by 90% with Raven

Bottling and Packaging Manufacturer Reduces Downtime by 90% with Real-Time Visibility into Production Losses

A bottling and packaging manufacturer, a Fortune 100 food and beverage company, was struggling with a lack of visibility into production losses. Their in-house OEE system was incompatible with their lines, and they relied on inefficient pen-and-paper methods to track downtime, resulting in many unknown downtime reasons. The manufacturer needed a solution to automate tracking and uncover the root causes of constraints. They turned to Raven for a production monitoring solution.

Raven implemented a data digitization solution that provided a real-time, contextualized timeline of all production events. By seamlessly integrating with machine PLCs and using smart automatic downtime labeling, Raven gave the operations team complete visibility and reporting capabilities. This solution empowered operators to add context with minimal manual input. The key result was a 90% reduction in downtime on a critical asset, dropping from over 80 hours to under 8 hours, which unlocked hidden capacity and provided a single source of truth for performance data.
