    Challenges

    Lack of real-time visibility into machine performance and process efficiency

    Inability to trace fill weight variations across production batches

    Manual data collection hindering productivity insights and quality compliance

    Solution

    • Integrated MachineTalk devices with machine PLCs to acquire real-time filler head data and readings from weighing scales
    • Developed a custom application to fetch PO numbers, target fill weights, and tolerance limits from a local database
    • Implemented Statistical Process Control (SPC) and deployed Control Charts to monitor fill weight variations
    • Enabled end-to-end SAP integration for automatic PO extraction and confirmation
    • Calculated Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) for each filling line with real-time data inputs
    • Designed an Operator Console allowing operators to log downtime reasons from a pre-configured list
    • Automated generation of key performance reports, including OEE, Utilization, MTTR, and MTBF
