Manufacturing Asset Management Case Study — DigitoWork
Case Study  ·  Manufacturing Operations

Cutting Unplanned Downtime by 71% Across a Multi-Plant Manufacturing Network

How a large-scale manufacturing enterprise eliminated asset blind spots across five production plants — automating maintenance cycles, reducing breakdowns, and achieving full regulatory traceability from shop floor to boardroom.

Five plants. Zero unified asset visibility.

Unplanned breakdowns halting production
Critical machinery failed without warning across plants, causing production stoppages averaging 14 hours per incident — at a cost of ₹8–12 lakhs per event.
No cross-plant asset visibility
Each plant maintained its own disconnected register. Spare parts and tools were duplicated across facilities while shortages occurred in others.
!
Manual, paper-based maintenance logs
Technicians logged maintenance in paper registers. Critical service history was lost when staff changed, leading to repeated failures on the same machines.
!
Regulatory traceability gaps
ISO and factory compliance audits repeatedly flagged missing calibration records, incomplete maintenance histories, and unverifiable asset lifecycles.

A structured, plant-by-plant digital transformation

Phase 1 · Months 1–3  ·  Asset Census

Full inventory audit across all five plants

A ground-up physical audit of 6,200+ assets — machinery, tools, vehicles, electrical equipment, and safety assets — across all five manufacturing facilities. Each asset photographed, condition-rated, and entered into a unified digital register with full procurement and service history captured where available.

Phase 2 · Months 4–7  ·  Digital Infrastructure

IoT sensors, QR tagging & centralised platform

Every asset tagged with industrial-grade QR + RFID labels designed for shop floor environments (oil, heat, vibration resistant). IoT vibration and temperature sensors installed on 340 critical machines for real-time health monitoring. All data fed into a single cloud-based asset management platform with role-based access for plant managers, technicians, and corporate teams.
