Case Study

Automotive Supplier Digital Transformation

How predictive maintenance and computer vision quality control reduced downtime by 47% and saved $156M annually.

The Challenge

A Tier-1 automotive supplier operating 8 plants across North America was losing $340M annually to unplanned downtime. Equipment failures caused production line stoppages averaging 4.2 hours per incident. Quality defects from undetected tool wear cost another $89M in rework and recalls. The plant managers were firefighting — reactive maintenance, no visibility into equipment health, and zero predictive capability.

Our Approach
Phase 1Sensor Integration4 weeks

Deployed 2,400 IoT sensors across critical equipment: vibration, temperature, current, acoustic — capturing 50M data points daily.

Phase 2Digital Twin Creation5 weeks

Built physics-informed digital twins of production lines, calibrated against 3 years of operational data.

Phase 3Predictive Models6 weeks

Developed failure prediction models for 12 equipment classes. Achieved 14-day advance warning for 87% of failures.

Phase 4Quality Vision System4 weeks

Deployed computer vision for real-time defect detection. Sub-millimeter accuracy at line speed.

Phase 5Operations Integration3 weeks

Integrated alerts into maintenance workflows, spare parts inventory, and production scheduling systems.
