Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, a Safran company and leader in aircraft landing systems, deployed TrakSYS across 12 CNC machines at multiple sites. The MES platform replaced manual time tracking, connected PLCs via OPC, and delivered workflow, quality, and performance management functions. Within three months the company identified root causes of short stops, improved daily production time by one hour per machine, and created accurate capacity data for planning and continuous improvement programs.

Key takeaways

Real-time asset utilization data replaced manual tracking across 12 CNC machines

Root cause analysis of short stops enabled one-hour daily production gain per machine

ROI achieved in less than three months after deployment

Scalable architecture supported expansion from two to twelve lines without software changes

Global, multi-site visibility supported Lean, 5S, and SMED initiatives
