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
