Saving $2.1M Annually in Production Waste

$2.1MAnnual savings

The Problem

Atlas Manufacturing's three production lines generated 14% waste on average. Quality checks were manual and reactive — defects were caught post-production. Unplanned downtime cost $180K per incident, occurring roughly twice monthly.

Our Approach

Instrumented production lines with sensor data feeds, then built an AI monitoring layer that analyzes patterns in real time. We used a phased credit allocation model: Phase 1 focused on anomaly detection, Phase 2 on predictive maintenance scheduling.

The Solution

Deployed edge-based anomaly detection models that flag quality deviations within seconds. An LLM-powered analysis engine correlates sensor data with historical patterns to predict equipment failures 48 hours in advance. Operators receive plain-language alerts with recommended actions.

Results

  • 41% reduction in production waste
  • Unplanned downtime cut by 52%
  • $2.1M in annual savings
  • Payback period: 4 months
