Rexam Corporation's Berlin, Ohio facility replaced a 20-year-old monitoring system with Epicor Mattec MES to gain real-time visibility across injection and stretch-blow molding lines. The system tracks cycle time, fill rates, temperatures, pressures, and downtime while enabling automated quality acceptance and standardized OEE reporting. Integration with SAP is planned to eliminate manual job entry and further reduce administrative effort.

Key takeaways

Real-time monitoring of cycle time, fill rates, mold temperatures, and valve pressures enables proactive maintenance and reduced downtime.

Automated SPC/SQC with auto-acceptance rejects non-conforming parts before mold opening, improving quality and cutting scrap.

Standardized OEE calculation on every cycle replaced manual reporting and supports consistent metrics across plants.

One operator can manage more machines due to real-time alerts and visual dashboards on the production floor.

Planned SAP integration will automate job downloads and eliminate remaining manual scheduling and data entry.
