Solar Manufacturer Reduces Unplanned Downtime by 35% with ERP & Digital Twin Integration
Equipment failures were discovered only after production had already been impacted. Maintenance teams relied on reactive repairs, while disconnected systems limited visibility and delayed decision-making.
The Challenge: Frequent Equipment Failures & Production Disruptions
A leading solar panel and PV module manufacturer in India was facing recurring equipment breakdowns that impacted production schedules, plant efficiency, and delivery commitments.
"We were constantly reacting to breakdowns instead of preventing them, making production planning unpredictable."
- Frequent equipment failures are disrupting production lines
- Reactive maintenance leading to emergency repairs
- Limited visibility into machine health and performance
- Production, maintenance, and planning teams operating in silos
- Delivery schedules impacted by unexpected downtime
