Enhanced OEE

10% Uplift for a Filling Machine

A manufacturing facility was struggling withfilling line inefficiencies, despite seemingly stable monthly performancereports. Frequent, untracked short stops and unclear performance fluctuationswere silently eroding productivity.

 

By leveraging MontBlancAI’s advancedproduction monitoring tools, the facility uncovered and addressed these issues,delivering a remarkable 12.4% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)within just six weeks. This case study details the challenge, the innovativeapproach, and the eventual results.

The Challenge

The operations team was aware of the criticalimportance of the filling machine to the facility's production process. So whenthe team uncovered persistent and serious operational flaws, they realized thatswift, decisive action was essential.

Frequent Short Stops

The initial assessment and analysis revealedthat multiple brief, unrecorded interruptions were disrupting operationsdaily.  

Unclear Performance Fluctuations

Output inconsistencies lacked clear causes,hampering optimization efforts.  

A Lack of Detailed Data

Short disruptions were neither tracked norclassified, masking their impact on efficiency.

These hidden inefficiencies stifled thefacility’s productivity and profitability. Only a comprehensive, data-drivensolution using intelligent manufacturing tools would deliver the desiredresults.

The Solution

To address the filling line inefficiencies,the facility used MontBlancAI to create and deploy a comprehensive optimizationstrategy, focusing on improving the system’s performance. Key stepsincluded:  

PLC Data Integration

The facility seamlessly connected to thefilling machine’s PLC data without interrupting existing controls to gatherreal-time performance insights.

Interruption Analysis

The team identified that the line rarelyoperated for long without short-term interruptions, revealing hiddenbottlenecks that monthly reports overlooked.

Granular Data Visualization

Daily, weekly, batch, and order-levelvisualization and analysis were implemented, empowering the facility withactionable performance insights.

The Outcome

In just six weeks, the team—using ourproduction optimization software—delivered a remarkable transformation for thefilling machine’s performance. Put simply, our AI-powered intelligentmanufacturing solution delivered a 12.4% increase in Overall EquipmentEffectiveness (OEE) through significant improvements to availability,performance, and quality.

By eliminating frequent, untracked shortstops, the facility stabilized operations, enabling smoother, more consistentproduction runs. This surge in efficiency boosted output, reduced operationalcosts, and unlocked new capacity.
