INX International

INX International, a global manufacturer of high-performance printing inks and coatings, needed to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) across its mixing and milling operations. Their existing MES captured data but could not translate it into actionable real-time guidance for frontline operators.

Deployed Oden Technologies' Process AI platform alongside Factory Analytics and Data Engine. The system provided AI-enabled process optimization recommendations directly to front-line operators, empowering them with real-time data-driven insights to make informed decisions during production.

Achieved a 21.4% increase in OEE, with 20.5% improvement in performance and 11% improvement in availability. The investment delivered 5x ROI within just 6 months of deployment, with dramatic improvements in front-line workforce productivity.

• AI-driven operator guidance can dramatically improve OEE without replacing existing equipment
• Empowering frontline workers with real-time AI recommendations delivers rapid ROI
• Process AI that bridges the gap between data collection and actionable insights is key to manufacturing improvement
