Case Study: a Missouri-based plastic bag manufacturer reduces scrap and risk with RoviSys

a Missouri-based plastic bag manufacturer brings 5 of 6 lines online in 5 days with RoviSys

A Missouri-based plastic bag manufacturer faced significant challenges with its obsolete control systems, which required constant manual intervention, caused hours of downtime, and led to inventory inaccuracies of 15-25%. To modernize its operations and reduce scrap, the manufacturer partnered with RoviSys for a comprehensive assessment and a top-to-bottom technological makeover of its controls and information infrastructure.

RoviSys implemented a two-part solution consisting of a modern supervisory batch process control system and a reliable data communication protocol using XML and RESTful web services. This provided complete visibility into the manufacturing process and automated inventory tracking. The results included a flawless execution that brought five out of six production lines online within five days, drastically reduced the risk of downtime, and eliminated manual reconciliation. A company project manager called it the best project they had been part of in 25 years.
