Packaging Line Throughput

Add 2.7M units per month by sustaining maximum safe wrapper speed and eliminating film splice events.

74% → 88%

OEE Improvement

Wrapper OEE lifted 14 points (+20% line speed sustained) over the 12-week pilot, with 2.7M additional packages per month on the line

−57%

Film Waste Reduction

Proactive splice scheduling and tension management reduced film waste from 4.2 to 1.8 splices per shift

−73%

Unplanned Stops

SEW drive current signature analysis predicted jaw bearing wear on 3 events before failure

How Allie Works Here

From signal to action in real time.

Production OptimizationPredictive Maintenance

The Production Optimization agent monitors wrapper speed and vision reject rate simultaneously, detecting the inverse correlation between aggressive speed increases and seal quality degradation. It holds speed at the highest sustainable point where the reject rate stays below 0.9% rather than simply maximizing the setpoint. The Predictive Maintenance agent analyzes SEW servo drive current signatures at the jaw axis and film feed axis, detecting bearing wear, eccentricity, and backlash 6–12 hours before the mechanical failure that would cause an unplanned stop. It pre-schedules maintenance tasks in the CMMS during the next planned PM window.
