Data insight to analyse the root causes of losses and drive Continuous Improvement efforts
Increased operator engagement with the system and Continuous Improvement activities
Critical information available on large overhead displays to identify issues and highlight opportunities for improvement
Increased Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by 20% since the initial system implementation
Historical analysis reports on rate efficiency and pareto charts for measuring breakdowns
Purity Soft Drinks’ Challenges
- Inaccurate performance data from a manual data collection system.
- Information was not readily available to everyone within the production team.
- Processing the raw data was extremely time consuming.
- Lack of visibility to identify areas of improvement.
Purity Soft Drinks’ Requirements
- Replace their existing paper based model to measure plant efficiency.
- Provide a flexible system to collect the data defined as critical by the plant (particularly to minimise operator workload on downtime justifications).
- Provide actionable insight into production losses and their root-causes and take action.
- Measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in real-time to increase throughput and overall performance.
Continuous improvement journey
ITI Group helped Purity Soft Drinks to embark on a true Continuous Improvement journey.
In addition to solving all of Purity Soft Drinks’ challenges, ITI Group’s Performance Management solution provided significant benefits, including:
Monitoring throughput, speed, and all stoppages, as well as calculating OEE and its components: Availability, Performance and Quality
Automatic data collection of machine production counters, machine status and main downtime reasons
Communication via the PLCs of the different machines in use on the PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) line, such as the Blower, the Filler, the Labeller, the Sleever and the Palletiser
Business-wide OEE provides the production team with actionable insight and intelligence into line efficiency while enabling them to achieve their production goals
Ongoing Success
ITI Group enabled Purity Soft Drinks to effectively analyse losses, determine route cause(s) and take action.
Within three months, Purity Soft Drinks saw an OEE average increase of 4%, which equated to an extra 400 cases per shift.
In just under three years since the initial implementation of the Performance System, Purity Soft Drinks achieved an OEE improvement of nearly 20%.
