The Challenge
- Three plants on disparate execution systems with no shared data model
- Operators capturing data on paper, lost between shifts
- Plant managers blind to live OEE, downtime root causes, and quality exceptions
- Existing Fusion Mfg Cloud underused — operators wouldn't open it
Our Approach
- Two-day gemba walk per plant before any design
- Configured Fusion Mfg Cloud + work definitions across all three plants
- Deployed ETHX Manufacturing Portal as the operator/supervisor experience layer
- Integrated PLCs via OPC UA and OIC for automatic signal capture
- Pilot line for 4 weeks with real operators before plant-by-plant rollout
- In-shift, in-language training for every operator and supervisor
The Outcome
- +12 percentage points overall OEE within 10 weeks of go-live
- Live downtime reasons captured for the first time, with root-cause tagging
- Plant managers see throughput, yield, and downtime in real time
- Adoption above 90% on shop floor — measured weekly
