OUTCOME

The Challenge

A tier-1 automotive parts manufacturer was losing $180K per hour during unplanned downtime events across 8 facilities. Their 200+ CNC machines ran on different protocols with no unified visibility, and quality escapes were reaching OEM customers.

Our Solution

We deployed our IIoT platform connecting all 200+ machines, implemented predictive maintenance AI, and built a computer vision quality control system - delivering measurable results within 6 months of go-live.
