Case Study: BHS Corrugated South America achieves smarter maintenance management with TRACTIAN

How BHS optimized its Maintenance Management

BHS Corrugated South America, the Latin American unit of a global corrugated cardboard solutions provider, faced a manual and archaic maintenance management system. Without a functional CMMS, their process relied on spreadsheets and Trello boards for scheduling, making it difficult to control work orders and monitor critical assets. This lack of a predictive strategy left them vulnerable to unexpected machine failures.

The vendor, Tractian, implemented its predictive maintenance solution, consisting of Smart Trac sensors for real-time vibration monitoring integrated with its TracOS™ CMMS software. The platform automated work order management and provided prescriptive insights, allowing the team to detect and address failures like a critical lathe pulley issue before it caused significant damage. Tractian's solution gave the maintenance team total control, saving thousands of dollars and establishing a precise, data-driven preventative maintenance routine.
