Case Study: ECCO Manufacturing increases availability and reduces downtime losses with Raven

How ECCO Manufacturing Uncovered Opportunities to Reduce Losses and Increase Availability in 3 Months

ECCO Manufacturing, a major North American manufacturer of sheet metal products, faced the challenge of improving productivity without real-time visibility into machine performance. They relied on manual, time-consuming processes like pen-and-paper and spreadsheets to track downtime and production, which prevented data-driven decisions. To address this, they sought a digital OEE solution and partnered with Raven.

Raven implemented its OEE improvement software, connecting to machines and placing HMIs on the line for operators to provide context. This delivered real-time data and analytics, identifying root causes of losses. The results in just three months were significant. Raven helped ECCO identify their top downtime opportunities, leading to investments that will increase monthly production potential by 18% and eliminate a 5% rework loss. Additionally, the Calgary plant saw a 15% increase in availability, and operator engagement exceeded a 95% downtime tagging rate.
