Problem Statement

To maintain their competitive edge, the client needed to minimize equipment downtime, improve maintenance efficiency, and gain better control over their supply chain to ensure consistent, on-time production. Despite being an industry leader, the client faced several operational challenges due to outdated systems and manual processes:

• Frequent Equipment Failures: The client relied on reactive maintenance practices, which often resulted in unexpected equipment breakdowns, leading to costly downtime and unplanned disruptions in production.
• Inefficient Production Workflows: Outdated systems and manual tracking hindered the ability to monitor production processes in real-time, leading to inefficiencies and delays in meeting tight production schedules.
• Poor Supply Chain Visibility: The lack of unified data systems meant that the client struggled to gain a clear, end-to-end view of their supply chain, making it difficult to make timely decisions and address bottlenecks.

Solution Implemented

Credencys implemented Databricks’ Lakehouse Platform to streamline operations through advanced analytics and machine learning. The key solutions included:

• Predictive Maintenance Models: Machine learning algorithms were used to predict equipment failures and enable proactive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.

• Production Process Analytics: Real-time insights into production performance helped identify inefficiencies, optimize workflows, and ensure smoother operations.

• Supply Chain Optimization: Unified data from across the supply chain provided better visibility and faster decision-making, reducing delays and improving operational coordination.

Business Impact

• Reduction in Equipment Downtime

  Predictive maintenance reduced unplanned downtime, leading to fewer disruptions in the production process and lower maintenance costs.
  
  
  

• Increase in Production Efficiency
