Case Study: Davey Textile boosts loom productivity with Uptake Downtime Tracker

Davey Textile bolsters loom productivity with downtime monitoring

Davey Textile, a textile manufacturer based in Edmonton with a distribution warehouse in Houston, was struggling with manual data collection, inaccurate downtime tracking, and limited visibility into loom performance. These gaps made it difficult to set production targets, manage capacity, and make decisions based on data. Vendor **Uptake** addressed these challenges with **Uptake Fusion** and the **Uptake Downtime Tracker**.

Uptake implemented real-time loom status monitoring and downtime tracking, automatically capturing production counter values and enabling operators to log downtime reasons. The solution fed data into Microsoft Azure and PowerBI for reporting and analysis, giving Davey Textile a clearer view of utilization, bottlenecks, and machine performance. As a result, Davey Textile improved downtime visibility, increased uptime and asset efficiency, reduced unplanned downtime, and gained a more data-backed approach to production planning and reporting.
