Unifying 17 plants to unlock a 12% average OEE gain
Kavax delivered a common digital operations layer across a diverse global manufacturing network, connecting production, maintenance, quality, and enterprise data without forcing every plant into the same machine environment.

The challenge
Creating a reliable operating baseline.
- Production, downtime, and performance data remained isolated in PLCs, SCADA systems, spreadsheets, and plant-specific practices.
- OEE definitions and downtime classifications varied between sites, making enterprise benchmarking unreliable.
- Maintenance was heavily calendar-driven, with limited cross-asset visibility into MTBF, MTTR, and emerging failure patterns.
- Quality checks and compliance routines depended on paper or delayed entry, increasing response and audit effort.
Kavax delivery
Connecting data, decisions, and workflows.
- Established standardized asset, product, shift, OEE, and downtime definitions across the connected plants.
- Connected more than 300 machines to a shared data layer and delivered line-, shift-, plant-, and enterprise-level performance views.
- Introduced real-time OEE, loss, labour, process, maintenance, and asset-health analytics.
- Digitized quality checks, operational logbooks, EHS routines, and compliance workflows.
- Integrated production and maintenance information with ERP master and transactional data.
Business outcomes
Measurable operational improvement.
- 12% average OEE uplift across connected lines.
- Faster corrective action through live visibility into production losses.
- More consistent downtime analysis and cross-plant benchmarking.
- Condition-driven maintenance decisions supported by asset-history and reliability analytics.
- Faster deviation response and audit-ready digital records.
