June webinar recording: How to unlock additional value through your existing investment in Guidewheel

In case you missed it, we recently hosted a webinar on “How to unlock additional value through your existing investment in Guidewheel”.

Many thanks to Julio Oropeza, VP of Operations, Pretium Packaging, and John Wray, Continuous Improvement Manager, Southern Finishing Company, for sharing their stories in the webinar.

Here are a few highlights:

  • Initially Julio was able to improve productivity in his plant with downtime tracking, before adding on energy management tracking to generate significant improvements in energy efficiency and a huge reduction in costs in energy through Guidewheel’s energy management feature.

  • John found additional capacity within his current operations and helped drive productivity. He then layered on data from pulse sensors onto the data from CT sensors on his finishing lines to get an even more granular view of his machine efficiency with the help of Guidewheel.

  • Weston McBride, CTO and Co-founder, also spoke about a number of new features that will be coming your way soon, including: AI-powered Scout, Insights, and Sidekick OEE.
