Oral Biotech
After struggling with an inadequate monitoring system, Oral Biotech moved to Nulogy Smart Factory for real-time production data, raising OEE on one line from about 60% to about 80% and cutting scrap and rework.
Download the Case StudyOral Biotech is a dental technology company based in Albany, Oregon, specializing in oral health care products. Its focus on research and development aims to improve dental practices and patient outcomes.
Short stops nobody was counting
Oral Biotech relied heavily on hourly manual reporting that did not capture short stops during production. The team had no way of knowing how much those stops were holding back production efficiency.
Its previous monitoring software was also hard to work with, with wired hardware that had to be plugged in across the plant.
Before, we were running close to 60% OEE on one of our lines, and now, we’re up close to 80% OEE.
Outcomes
With digital displays throughout the plant and sensors on the lines, Oral Biotech gained real-time transparency and freed its teams for value-added work.
Real-Time Data Visibility
Manual records left blind spots that no one could fill from memory. Real-time data from Smart Factory lets staff get in front of production problems as they happen.
Higher OEE, Less Scrap
OEE on one line rose from close to 60% to close to 80%. Scrap and rework, which used to average 2% to 3%, are down to one or two units in total.
Accessible, Automated Reporting
Smart Factory integrates with Oral Biotech’s NetSuite ERP, and wireless sensors replaced the wired setup of its previous software.
