OEE Triples in 12 Months — From 20% to 58%
Aluminum Extrusion Plant Aluminum Manufacturing
OEE improved from 20% to 58% in 12 months
← All Case Studies The Challenge
The plant had no reliable visibility into where efficiency was lost. Downtime was untracked, scrap was estimated, and management had no way to prioritize improvement efforts across multiple extrusion lines.
The Solution
10in6 connected directly to the extrusion equipment and deployed the MES module with full production reporting, Andon calls, and real-time dashboards. Within weeks, patterns became visible and improvement actions became focused.
Results
- OEE improved from 20% to 58% in 12 months — a 3x increase
- Downtime reasons now automatically captured and categorized
- Constraint Manager identified top losses across all lines
- New lines onboarded faster by tracking downtime reasons from day one
"We install 10in6 on each new line. It helps us get them up to speed quicker by tracking downtime reasons."
