Optimizing Production and Reducing Costs
A company in the plastics industry called on our team to optimize its production and thereby reduce costs.
Towards a customized solution
The aim was to improve the productivity rate of a work cell made up of high-tech printers for applying ink to acrylic parts. Productivity was measured in terms of the machine’s operating time in relation to its downtime over a given reference period. First, the solution had to be fully automated and not involve any operator action.
Our solution: Octopus-Productivity. As a result, average productivity improved by over 9% shortly afterwards.

With specific automation needs in mind, a company in the secondary and tertiary softwood processing sector chose us for this project.
IT to the rescue!
To meet the client’s objectives, we installed electrical components to directly connect the production equipment to be monitored. Our team then determined which means, sensors, and communication modules could be used to make the equipment “talk”.
Our solution: Octopus-Edge. The result is quite convincing: for the same fleet of equipment, production increased by over 200,000 linear feet of product per month.
