Transform your business securely and at scale with AWS for Industrial

After launching a corporate initiative around continuous improvement, General Grind recognized an urgent need to increase throughput for their production equipment. To do so required gaining full control of its machine and operational data to reducing downtime, identify production bottlenecks, and improve their reaction time to issues on the factory floor.

The team at General Grind partnered with MachineMetrics Industrial IoT Platform as the software foundation for this initiative and implemented the solution on 50 high-priority machines to start. From day 1, the application of MachineMetrics produced both granular and institutional changes to how the company operated. The ability to quickly visualize and analyze machine health and production data across their factory floor accelerated critical, actionable bottleneck analysis that led to dramatic increases in machine utilization and OEE.

The initial result? 6,933 hours a year of additional capacity!

Join Blake Bieri, Chief Operating Officer at General Grind, and Graham Immerman, VP of Marketing at MachineMetrics for this case study webinar detailing all of the fantastic gains that their company was able to see after implementing MachineMetrics.
