Key Highlights
The Destaco team at Mt. Juliet primarily used Amper to monitor utilization and downtime. However, the team wanted to explore lights-out production to help cut labor costs and increase overall throughput. The team:
• Automatically tracked utilization data using Amper, without the hassle of overtime or paperwork
• Tested lights-out with Amper over 8 weeks
• Found that their machines could maintain solid utilization numbers—providing an extra 4 hours of capacity each day

“Amper played a pivotal role in helping us test lights-out production. Because we could collect the data automatically, it saved us time, paperwork and money. That data helped us prove lights-out production could work for us and justified an investment for 2 more machines.”
