E Industries

We're an SME that manufactures auto parts. We were founded in 2005 and celebrate our 20th anniversary this year. We currently supply parts to tier-1 suppliers.

Our productivity was falling behind our competitors. Because we relied heavily on manual work, quality varied widely, too. Our customers also asked us to improve our quality management system, so we decided that digital transformation was essential.

They built the server infrastructure to collect and analyze sensor data in the factory. We can now monitor and analyze data from our production equipment in real time. Security was also important, so we introduced network separation and access control systems as well.

If design drawings or process data leak, it's a serious problem. If technology passes to a competitor, you lose know-how built up over years in an instant. If factory systems are hacked, production can be disrupted, so security is really important.

Our defect rate dropped by 35% and equipment utilization rose by 20%. Now that data-driven decision-making is possible, managing the floor has become much easier. Energy use has also been cut by 15%.

I felt they really understand the manufacturing floor. IT companies usually don't know much about manufacturing sites. YourIT communicates well with our floor staff and proposes practical solutions, so we're satisfied.
