The Challenge

A mid-size precision components manufacturer was experiencing chronic unplanned downtime across three production lines. With OEE stuck at 52%—well below the industry benchmark of 72%—management had no visibility into the root causes. Equipment failures were discovered only after production had already stopped.

The Solution

Peunier deployed a comprehensive IIoT monitoring platform across all production equipment, integrated with a custom SCADA dashboard and AI-powered anomaly detection. Edge sensors were installed on critical machines to capture vibration, temperature, current draw, and cycle time data in real time.

Our Approach
01

Operational Audit

3-day on-site audit documenting all production equipment, current data collection methods, and downtime event history for the prior 6 months.

02

Sensor & Gateway Deployment

Installed 127 edge sensors across 34 machines. Deployed industrial gateways for local data processing and cloud connectivity with <100ms latency.

03

SCADA & Dashboard Development

Built a custom Ignition SCADA platform with real-time OEE calculation, line-level performance visibility, and shift summary reporting.

04

AI Anomaly Detection

Trained machine learning models on 6 months of historical sensor data to detect pre-failure signatures on the 8 highest-impact machines.

05

Team Training & Go-Live

4-week hypercare period with on-site support, operator training, and model refinement based on live production data.

Peunier didn't just install sensors—they rebuilt how we think about production visibility. We went from reactive firefighting to genuinely predictive operations in under six months.
