Case Study: Jabil achieves increased line availability and 2-month pilot ROI with Upskill's Skylight

Keeping Production Lines Humming

Jabil, a global electronics manufacturing and services company, faced challenges keeping high-volume production lines running smoothly: technicians could only cover a limited number of lines, and machine breakdowns cascaded into costly shutdowns and delays. To address production line monitoring, Jabil piloted wearable technology with Upskill’s Skylight platform to explore hands‑on applications that would give technicians better visibility and control.

Upskill developed a customized Skylight workflow integrated with Jabil’s Asset Performance Management system and deployed smart glasses to deliver real‑time OEE metrics, automated error alerts, and live video streaming to remote experts. The solution increased machine uptime and line availability, shortened production cycles, reduced costs, and delivered a pilot ROI in just two months, prompting Jabil to expand Skylight use across other operations.
