Optimum Canada

Mandate

Accompany Optimum Canada in its transition to a fully connected plant, integrating digital technologies, automating production, and structuring data architecture to support growth and quality.

The customer

Optimum Canada specializes in the manufacture of high-precision tools. A fast-growing company, it is targeting markets in Mexico and the United States. The company has embarked on a digital transformation to improve its competitiveness, product quality and ability to meet the demands of new markets.

Challenges

Move from a made-to-order production model to a fully automated system

Managing change within teams

Dealing with heterogeneous machinery (old equipment)

Retain flexibility for future adaptation in digital architecture

Initial findings

Production start-up processes were manual, lengthy (up to 5 working days), and not very standardized. Data tracking was fragmented, with no real-time access, limiting the efficiency of operations and responsiveness to machine stoppages.

Objectives

Automate production start-up without human intervention
Access machine data in real time to spot deviations
Increase operator productivity by 10%.
Standardize production routines
Quality control using statistical data
100% traceability of operations

Interventions

Diagnosis

Initial analysis revealed gaps in information flow, partially digital process management and a lack of real-time monitoring tools. A structured digital plan with architecture, infrastructure and budget was put in place.
