Case Study: Cadillac Casting prevents downtime and catches failures early with Tractian Condition Monitoring

Cadillac Casting catches bearing failures early across 500 assets with Tractian

Cadillac Casting, a large foundry in Michigan, faced persistent unplanned downtime despite having a network of sensors, manual vibration routes, and outside analysts. Their challenge was that existing methods only flagged issues after a failure occurred, leaving gaps in coverage for their 500 pieces of equipment. They needed continuous visibility and early alerts to start preventing failures instead of just finding them.

Tractian implemented its condition monitoring platform to provide automated, continuous monitoring across Cadillac Casting's critical assets. The solution gave the maintenance team early warnings for developing issues, such as bearing wear and lubrication problems, which they could then address proactively. For Tractian, this resulted in the prevention of catastrophic failures, validated repairs, and a shift from reactive maintenance to a focused, preventative program that freed up the team's time.
