Case Study: LMI Aerospace improves efficiency and win rate with VIMANA Smart Manufacturing Analytics

Increasing Capacity With Contextual Metrics

LMI Aerospace, a high-precision manufacturer of fabricated, machined, finished, and assembled aerospace components, faced volatile demand that made it difficult to maintain operational excellence during periods of both high and low demand. The company needed better visibility into shop-floor performance, workforce productivity, and costing, and it turned to VIMANA’s Smart Manufacturing Analytics and IoT solutions to help manage disruption and improve decision-making.

VIMANA implemented advanced analytics and real-time machine and operator data collection to increase shop-floor visibility, identify bottlenecks, improve scheduling, and streamline lean processes. The solution helped LMI Aerospace improve on-time delivery, increase asset utilization by 13%, reduce waste and labor costs, and generate more accurate quotes by using actual machining time and production data in SAP pricing models.
