Case Study: Arnold Packaging achieves real-time production visibility and productivity gains with Xometry

How this 85-year-old packaging manufacturer transformed their business with real-time production visibility

Arnold Packaging, an 85-year-old Baltimore-based packaging manufacturer, was hampered by manual time sheets and a lack of real-time production visibility that slowed technician productivity and consumed managerial time. To solve this, Arnold engaged Xometry and implemented a production-visibility solution—deploying dashboards and tablet-enabled workflows that tie into their existing Epicor system.

Xometry integrated the platform with Arnold’s Epicor ERP to pull orders automatically, added barcode scanning and check-in/check-out on tablets, and provided real-time dashboards that track man-hours, average task times, outstanding work, daily throughput, and individual technician productivity. The Xometry solution delivered immediate production visibility, measurable productivity improvements, and significant managerial time savings while integrating seamlessly without disrupting front-office processes.
