LINPAC Packaging implemented Lighthouse Systems Shopfloor-Online MES to replace an underperforming in-house system. The solution delivered real-time OEE, downtime root cause analysis, quality checks and material usage visibility. A pilot at the St Helens site was followed by phased rollout to additional UK and European plants with Oracle ERP integration. The project achieved payback in under 12 months through productivity gains and cost reductions.

Key takeaways

Real-time OEE dashboards enabled immediate corrective action on production lines

Downtime tracking with root cause detail reduced cumulative stoppage losses

Material usage visibility cut waste and improved polymer yield in extrusion

Operator dashboards enforced quality checks at correct frequency and specifications

ERP integration automated schedule download and production data upload
