Situation
This client had a number of probes and sensors in place in their cleaning / paint pretreatment line, but was struggling to convert data into information to drive continuous improvements in the department. They had downsized their process engineering team and were suffering from data overload – they had no time to convert data into actionable information.
Process Improvements
CMI installed a controller and made connections with existing probes and sensors. All data was archived and imported into a web-based customer portal.
Benefits Delivered
Management reports are automatically generated by the CMI technology. Costs per hour of operation are calculated and compared to baseline data to document savings. With no addition to the process engineering team, additional lean manufacturing / continuous improvement projects were completed to drive out waste and increase the bottom line.
