Case Study: Continental increases plant OEE with Sewio Networks RTLS

Continental - Customer Case Study

Continental, the German automotive parts manufacturer, wanted to reduce downtime and improve efficiency at its Barcelona plant, where SMT lines stretch more than 40 meters. Operators needed a way to respond to material shortages and other alerts without constantly watching screens or losing focus on production tasks.

Using Sewio Networks’ RTLS as part of Zerintia Technologies’ 4ACTION IIoT platform, Continental connected production, machine, and employee information into one system and added real-time tracking for AGVs and other assets. The project covered 3,200 m2 with 30 receivers and 70 tracked objects, and the result was a 2% increase in plant OEE, a 3% reduction in MTTR, and a 6-month deployment time.
