The challenge
Creating a reliable operating baseline.
- Production and downtime information was recorded manually after shifts, creating delay and data-quality problems.
- Operators and managers lacked real-time visibility into output, losses, and cycle adherence.
- Critical process variables were not trended consistently, limiting early identification of process drift.
- Manual production and material booking created an 8–12 hour lag in inventory and planning information.
Kavax delivery
Connecting data, decisions, and workflows.
- Streamed machine and process data from high-impact tyre-manufacturing assets into a shared operational layer.
- Delivered live production, output, cycle, loss, and downtime views for operators and management.
- Implemented process-parameter trending, SPC, Cp/Cpk analysis, and control-limit alerts.
- Enabled immediate downtime classification at the operating interface.
- Automated bi-directional synchronization of production and inventory information with ERP.
Business outcomes
Measurable operational improvement.
- 8–10% productivity improvement on connected lines through faster action on visible losses.
- 5% quality improvement supported by process analytics and earlier intervention.
- More reliable inventory, loss, and order-accounting information.
- Faster order closure and improved production planning inputs.
- A common digital architecture for future multi-plant scale.
