From theoretical planning to reliable manufacturing deadlines

"We can give customers an exact delivery date. If a machine breaks down, we can adapt and recalculate production to meet the promised date.

"ZEO has been an excellent tool for making every variable affecting plant efficiency transparent. It has given us real-time visibility.

"We increased overall plant OEE from 68% to 76%, with estimated savings of EUR 60,000 per year in the first year.

"Using the tablet makes it very easy to record different defect types and the reasons behind downtime.

"We achieved a 15% efficiency increase in the labelling area.

"We had several ideas about why productivity was low, but no data. With ZEO, charts and information now tell us whether the process is working properly.

"All the information is available in the system so we can run our analyses and improve efficiency.

"Reliable real-time information allows us to make the right decisions quickly.

"We thought the lines stopped less often than they actually do. We can now see the many stops occurring throughout a shift and understand their causes.

"We wanted reliable, real data and a detailed understanding of micro-stops, inefficiencies and their causes so we could correct them and improve productivity and quality immediately.

"There is no future for a production plant that has not been digitalised.

"Today I see a more mature team with stronger technical capabilities. There is a genuine commitment to excellence.

"Workers are part of the system and actively provide key information for improving our processes.

"We have complete downtime information, know where equipment is stopping and which areas must be prioritised.

"Operators and managers finally have all the information needed to implement continuous-improvement actions and measure their impact.
