Case Study: Unilever protects over $700K in operational losses with Tractian condition monitoring

Unilever protects $796K in losses in 112 days with Tractian

Unilever's Latin American plant, a major food producer, faced operational challenges due to its reliance on intermittent manual inspections for critical assets. This left them with no real-time visibility into machine condition, risking unplanned downtime on their high-demand production lines. To address this, they partnered with vendor Tractian to implement its AI-powered condition monitoring system.

Tractian installed real-time vibration and temperature sensors on 40 critical assets, providing continuous monitoring. This solution allowed the Unilever team to anticipate and prevent 19 failures in just 112 days, avoiding 117 hours of unplanned downtime and protecting over $700,000 in operational losses. The success of Tractian's implementation led to an immediate expansion of the monitoring scope to cover more assets and prevent additional failures.
