The program: plant leaders come to hear how other plants fixed it.
The program is built from projects plants actually finished, presented by the plant and the company that did the work. Every MES and production software category has room for more. If you've solved a problem like these, your story belongs on this program.

OEE & machine monitoringInvited
How Haviland's employee-owned chemical packaging lines in Michigan lifted OEE 20 points
Redzone Productivity, deployed in Q1 2023 through a coached 90-day sprint and then extended: a 20-point OEE uplift across two business groups, OEE up 100% in the industrial repack group within four months, changeovers cut from as long as 90 minutes to 45, bottle output raised from 45 to 50 per minute and 10% to 15% of capacity freed for new business (measured) (as reported by QAD Redzone).
The problem: Haviland wanted real production data in front of the people running its 10 packaging lines in Michigan, Ohio and Arizona so teams could react faster and solve problems themselves.

How VEKA's Pennsylvania extrusion plant cut quality escapes by 88%
Tulip apps connected to SAP S/4HANA, with order-driven setup instructions, a gated first-piece inspection, in-process checks and AI barcode verification, rolled out from Pennsylvania to Texas, Nevada and North Carolina: quality escapes cut by 88%, returns down 60%, mislabeling-related defects reduced by 10x, and setup cut from 10-20 minutes to about five (measured; period not stated) (as reported by Tulip).
The problem: Paper forms and an aging homegrown MES could not keep up with rising volume; mislabeling incidents surged to more than 540 in a single year, and tracing a quality issue could take more than 24 hours.

How Trioworld North America cut production hours on its packaging lines with an Ignition scheduler
Actemium Toronto built an Ignition-based smart scheduler; in a two-week pilot against a manual schedule it reduced production hours by 34%, with fewer changeovers and better line selection (preliminary; measured in the pilot) (as reported by Inductive Automation; 2025 Discover Gallery award).
The problem: Many orders of varying complexity across numerous film lines made it hard for a person to schedule them efficiently, and it was unclear whether the best schedule meant fewer late orders or shorter total runtimes.

How Belden's cable plant beat its OEE goal more than threefold with an Ignition MES
Flexware Innovation built a configurable Ignition MES with automated data collection (July-November 2023): a total OEE improvement of 18% against a 5% goal and $500,000 in annual cost savings (measured or projected not stated), then expanded to three more sites with 20+ more planned (as reported by Inductive Automation).
The problem: Aging devices were limiting productivity as demand grew, and data collection was mostly manual, so Belden could not see its biggest process pain points.

How Weatherables in Groveport, Ohio got more output from the same extrusion lines
Guidewheel monitoring on four extrusion lines, live in less than a day, with real-time alerts and operator downtime tagging: a 12% increase in OEE and 4 operators added based on data-driven staffing decisions (measured; period not stated) (as reported by Guidewheel).
The problem: When Weatherables brought extrusion in-house, runtime was tracked by hand, maintenance was mostly reactive, staffing ran on gut feeling and overnight downtime often went unnoticed until the next day.

How Global Precision Parts in Ohio turned more paid labor hours into machine time
A paid-labor utilization goal tracked on Amper's real-time dashboards, worked out with Amper and peer customers: a 10% increase in machine utilization, paid labor utilization averaging 100% or more, and an operator-to-machine ratio improved from 1:2 to 1:6 (measured; 'within a short period') (as reported by Amper/ECI).
The problem: GPP had Amper's OEE tracking in place but needed a way to use the data to see how paid labor translated into machine uptime and output; about 80% of paid labor was being turned into production.

How Harvey Performance's Meridian, Idaho tool plant raised schedule attainment by over 25%
MachineMetrics Intelligent MES connecting machines, jobs and Epicor Kinetic in one real-time loop, after a homegrown MES proved too hard to maintain: schedule attainment at Meridian improved by over 25% (measured; period not stated) (as reported by MachineMetrics).
The problem: ERP schedules ran on old cycle-time estimates; production data was 8-10 hours old and supervisors spent an hour or more each morning editing labor tickets, so jobs fell behind before anyone could recover them.

How Sauder Woodworking's three furniture factories got shift data in real time
An 18-month rollout of all four Redzone modules (Productivity, Compliance, Reliability, Learning) across three sites with Redzone coaching. A Nucleus Research ROI study found a 665% ROI with a 7-month payback, $4.8M in annual avoided labor impact, OEE from 50% to above 70% on the pilot line, 15-20% near-term efficiency gains, $400K in annual maintenance savings, a $3M reduction in inventory carrying costs and a 76% reduction in e-commerce out-of-stock units (estimated; analyst ROI study) (as reported by QAD Redzone).
The problem: Production data often reached managers about 24 hours after the work, so teams could only review problems after the shift, and operators had few ways to raise issues or join improvement work.
