With headquarters in Drogheda, Ireland, and regional offices around the world, WaterWipes is a global business selling the world’s purest baby wipes in over 50 countries.
With a consistently expanding customer base and global sales increasing by roughly 30% per annum, the production team were struggling to meet increased demand, with minimal room for additional infrastructure.
ITI Group developed a real-time Manufacturing Execution System (MES) platform that worked with their existing machinery and enabled them to optimise their operations.
■ Production struggled to meet customer/product demand.
■ Output increasing, but Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) was decreasing.
■ Challenged with process inefficiencies.
■ Only 90% of production time accountable due to gaps in data stream.
■ Replace their existing OEE solution
■ Provide actionable insight into production
losses and their root-causes.
■ Enable changeover efficiencies to be
measured and monitored.
■ Remove errors caused by manual entry.
■ Improve product quality through
optimised SPC.
■ Digitise quality checks and enable
complete traceability.
■ Expand their quality management system
capabilities by enabling real-time verification
of process results.
ITI Group helped WaterWipes to embark on a true continuous improvement journey.
In addition to solving all of WaterWipes’ challenges, ITI Group’s MES solution delivered Performance Management, Quality Management and Statistical Process Control, each of which offered a variety of benefits:
Following the success of the project, ITI Group continued to work with the client to replace their existing maintenance and utility management solution, to further optimise operations.
ITI Group has also recently implemented an energy management solution at WaterWipes, which supported the client in achieving the ISO 50001 accreditation for energy management systems.
Case Study
