Key Highlights
After testing out Amper’s free trial program, Mitotec deployed Amper to help them pinpoint why and where downtime was occurring, allowing them to remedy these issues through CI initiatives. Through these initiatives Mitotec was able to:
• Reduce average setup time from 9 hours to 7, a 20% reduction
• Minimize downtime by enabling operators to call for support and quality control through Amper’s operating system, rather than leave their machines
• Hire more operators, after learning they were losing more than 13,000 hours per year–a cost of $914,000–due to “need to hire”
• Save over $1M in less than one year
