The Challenge
With a constantly expanding product range and rising volumes, E.SASSONE faced the challenges of fragmented and non-standardized processes: siloed Excel spreadsheets, manual data collection on the shop floor, and significant delays in accessing cost intelligence.
This fragmentation of information hindered precise control over industrial costs and product margins. It made it difficult to accurately estimate the total cost of each clutch and identify operational inefficiencies in real time. Department managers lacked a unified view of margins and the necessary instruments to intervene swiftly when bottlenecks occurred, ultimately impacting both delivery punctuality and overall profitability.
The objective was clear: digitalize production through a single MES platform, standardize operational workflows, automatically track direct and indirect costs, and empower the leadership team with real-time, updated data.
The Industrial Cloud Solution
Industrial Cloud implemented the AgileFactory MES, integrating specialized modules for inventory management, labor tracking, and industrial cost accounting. Every process was meticulously digitalized: today, operators receive orders via interactive terminals and record every stage of production in real time.
The system automatically calculates the actual costs of materials, labor, and setup, assigning them with surgical precision to each item. Production flows, resource loading, and performance monitoring have been optimized. This project allowed E.SASSONE to improve profitability without further investment, gaining total command over their industrial costs.
The Results
- 120+ orders fully digitalized and tracked every month.
- 18% increase in overall production efficiency.
- 35% reduction in delivery delays.
- 22% increase in the average margin per item.
- Over 5,000 operational hours liberated and redirected toward high-value strategic activities.
