The Challenge
What was holding them back?
"Manual production data entry from equipment consuming 25 hours weekly. No real-time visibility into production metrics. Quality control issues discovered too late. Inventory tracking manual and error-prone with 12% discrepancy rate."
Adelaide Manufacturing Co. was facing significant operational hurdles. Manual processes were not only slow but error-prone, leading to client dissatisfaction and team burnout. The lack of scalable systems meant that taking on new business required linear headcount growth, crushing margins.
Manual Bottlenecks
Key staff spent ~40% of their week on low-value data entry instead of strategic work.
Data Fragmentation
Critical business data was siloed in disparate spreadsheets, making real-time reporting impossible.
The Solution
How we transformed their operations
Automated data capture from production equipment via IoT sensors and APIs. Built real-time production dashboards showing OEE metrics and quality data. Implemented predictive maintenance alerts. Automated inventory tracking with RFID integration. We deployed a layered automation architecture that addressed immediate pain points while building a foundation for future scalability.
