Lincoln Manufacturing
After years of ERP systems that could not capture the data it needed, Lincoln Manufacturing moved to Nulogy Smart Factory and saved more than $100,000 in labor and production costs.
Download the Case StudyEstablished in 1995, Lincoln Manufacturing specializes in automotive stamping, producing transmission parts and undercarriage and underhood components such as sound dampeners and brackets, in steel from 0.6 mm to over 6 mm thick.
Years without the production data it needed
Lincoln explored ERP systems but found they lacked the data acquisition capabilities it needed. Production teams recorded downtime and control sheets with pen and paper, which was inefficient and prone to errors.
Without reliable data, Lincoln could not set benchmarks or monitor plant floor performance with confidence.
Smart Factory feels like we’ve updated ourselves from the 1980s to the 2020s. It’s light years from where we were.
Outcomes
Moving from manual record-keeping to digital data acquisition gave Lincoln real-time performance metrics and machine status, and saved more than $100,000.
$100,000+ Saved by Eliminating Paperwork
Lincoln calculated that saving 15 minutes of machine time per operator would be worth $75,000. By removing paperwork with Smart Factory, it has saved more than $100,000 in efficiency and paperwork alone.
Real OEE Benchmarks
Real-time data let Lincoln set and monitor OEE targets for the first time, with 65% to 70% as its benchmark for good performance and some areas reaching 85% to 90%.
Better Preventive Maintenance
Integration with Lincoln’s Faciliworks maintenance software provides accurate shot counts, helping engineering maintain die tools and extend their life.
