Probiotical Increases Machine Availability 15-20% and Achieves Near-Optimum OEE with ThingWorx IIoT
Probiotical S.p.A. deployed Digital Twin for Process Optimization in Pharmaceuticals. As reported by rockwellautomation.com: 15-20% machine availability increase.
Source-reported figures (cited source: rockwellautomation.com)
What Probiotical S.p.A. was trying to fix
Probiotical was experiencing rapid demand growth with supplement-stick volumes rising from 1.5 million to 10 million per year, requiring rapid manufacturing scale-up. The company had minimal visibility into operations, making it difficult to integrate new packaging lines while maintaining efficiency.
What Probiotical S.p.A. deployed
ThingWorx IIoT solution, part of FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, was implemented to provide real-time and historical production data visibility. The platform connected IT and OT landscapes and was extended to existing facilities beyond the initial new-plant scope.
Results
Machine availability increased by 15-20% and OEE reached near-optimum value. Energy consumption and packaging waste were both reduced. Data-driven decisions supported the company's rapid scaling.
Key Takeaways
- Probiotical raised machine availability by 15-20% with an IIoT platform that gave visibility into operations
- Extend IIoT to existing facilities as well as new plants; Probiotical did so beyond its initial new-plant scope
- Probiotical reached near-optimum OEE with real-time and historical production data
