Case Study: Schoeneck Containers Inc. saves 33 man-hours a day with Zontec's Synergy 2000

Using Synergy 2000, Schoeneck Containers Saves 33 Man-Hours a Day

Schoeneck Containers Inc. (SCI) is a blow-molded container manufacturer that produces roughly 200 million containers a year. Facing a fully paper-based quality process across 22 machines—where operators logged samples by hand every 1–4 hours—SCI needed faster, more reliable data capture and retrieval. They selected Zontec and its Synergy 2000 SPC software to replace manual recording and improve shop-floor quality control.

Zontec implemented Synergy 2000 on the shop floor, automating data collection, providing operator/manager/engineer access levels, and enabling real-time viewing and easy data sharing for audits and customer requests. The solution saved about 45 minutes per machine operator—approximately 33 man-hours a day—while dramatically speeding complaint investigations and information retrieval, improving transparency and efficiency for Schoeneck Containers.
