Infasco industrial fasteners — client success story with Intelligence Industrielle on machine connectivity.

Lack of Visibility into production

Infasco faced major challenges due to a lack of real-time visibility on its production floor. This led to untracked downtimes and suboptimal resource allocation.

Major Issue

Lack of key indicators such as MTTR, MTBF, and OEE; monitoring of bolting machines was impossible.

Negative Impact

Loss of performance and untracked downtimes leading to additional costs.
