OEE Triples in 12 Months — From 20% to 58%

With no reliable visibility into where efficiency was lost, this plant deployed 10in6 across multiple lines with full PLC integration. OEE nearly tripled in the first year, metal waste went from 5% to 0% through real-time SPC alerting, and quality went fully paperless.

Unit Traceability, Error-Proofing, and OEE Gains Across Two Plants

Two Wisconsin plants went from paper tracking and manually produced reports to real-time dashboards, Andon escalation, and scan-to-pack serialized traceability. Labels print only after every component is scanned and final inspection is complete.

"When we started using 10in6, OEE improved without any specific fixes — just putting the numbers out in front of operators enabled them to know where they were versus the production target."

Paperless Quality Checks Eliminate Hundreds of Thousands in Overpack Losses

The largest cheese cooperative in the U.S. digitized quality checks and giveaway tracking across two plants. Paper checks written every 30 minutes gave way to real-time weight alerts at the line.

"After moving quality checks to 10in6, it was the first time we had a good view of overpack. This one change has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings."

Audit-Ready Quality and a 12-Year Partnership Across Nine Plants

The relationship started by replacing a costly equipment-monitoring system at four plants. Twelve years later, 10in6 runs in nine, and the quality team answers OEM audit questions from searchable quality history.

"Before 10in6 customer audits were nerve-racking. Now we are proud to show our system, the detailed history we have available and the positive quality trends we are achieving."

Paperless Quality Lifts First Time Through from 72% to 83%

ISO quality checks moved from paper and manual control charts to the 10in6 Scheduled Tasks module with in-context electronic work instructions. Stackpole completed 75% of the rollout themselves after training on a small set of checks.

"We're so close to the issues now that they can't hide. When we fix something, we quickly see an impact on our overall numbers."
