Quick Snapshot

Machines ran at suboptimal speeds due to inaccurate ERP speed targets, causing hidden capacity losses.

Leveraged Shoplogix’s Top Historical Speed (THS) to uncover the true speed potential of machines and recalibrate speed targets to their optimal capacity, boosting production speeds.

Standardized speeds saved thousands of production hours and boosted efficiency and cost savings.

The Challenge:

Is Your Production Slowing You Down?

For Coveris, a multinational packaging leader, machine speed is critical. But traditional metrics were hiding inefficiencies, with speed targets set too low for the actual potential of machines. This left valuable capacity untapped, especially during shorter job runs, where machines crawled instead of sprinting.

The Discovery:

Unlocking Hidden Capacity

Using Shoplogix’s Top Historical Speed (THS) feature, Coveris uncovered: THS revealed that many machines were running significantly slower than their true potential.

Slower-than-needed speeds for shorter runs due to ERP targets tied to job size.

Significant inefficiencies, even when machines met targets, as they weren’t performing at their best potential.

The Solution :

Smarter Speed Standards

By recalibrating their ERP system with THS data, Coveris aligned speed targets to the true potential of their machines, regardless of job size. This simple yet powerful adjustment:

Eliminated unnecessary slowdowns.

Unlocked a significant hidden capacity.

Saved thousands of production hours.

Key Takeaways for Manufacturers

Uncover Hidden Potential:

Even machines that meet their production targets may be operating below their true potential. Identifying and unlocking this hidden capacity can significantly boost productivity.

Rely on Data, Not Guesswork:

THS advanced insights provide clear, actionable performance metrics to define optimal targets, without guesswork or high-effort analysis.

Deliver Measurable Results:

By addressing speed optimization challenges, manufacturers can achieve significant cost savings, increased production output, and improved overall efficiency.

Reevaluate Your Targets:

Smartly calibrated targets lead to big efficiency gains.

The Solution :

Smarter Speed Standards

Coveris transformed its operations by:

Increasing production speed across processes.

Achieving significant cost savings through optimized workflows.
