Manufacturing Case Study – Factory Uptime Soars
Project: Modernise network and monitoring across three production plants
- Problem: Network drops averaged 8 hours/month, halting CNC lines and ERP access
- Solution: Installed redundant fibre links, smart switches, and 24/7 IoT‑based monitoring
- Result:
- Uptime climbed to 99.95 % (outages cut by 75 %)
- Production output rose 12 % with fewer stoppages
- Maintenance tickets fell 60 % thanks to early‑warning alerts
- Real‑time dashboard shows line status and network health at a glance
- Automated fail‑over keeps PLCs online during link lossQuarterly reviews now forecast upgrades, preventing surprise downtime
