WEBINAR: Boosting Machine Efficiency & Reducing Downtime with Production Monitoring
NOW ON-DEMAND
How Coastal Machine boosted five-axis utilization by 46%, cut changeover time in half, and kept the shop running stronger without adding a single machine.
Most shops know they have downtime. What they don’t know is where it’s hiding, how often it’s happening, or what it’s actually costing them.
Kody Guidry, General Manager of Coastal Machine & Supply in Carencro, Louisiana, in Carencro, Louisiana, joined Gabe Maentz for a candid conversation about what changed when his team finally got a clear picture of what was happening on the production floor and how that visibility changed the way the whole shop operated.
What you’ll take away:
- How Coastal went from guessing to knowing, and what a 46% five-axis utilization gain looked like in practice
- How real-time notifications turned a Saturday morning alarm into a quick fix instead of a lost weekend
- How connecting their ERP to Datanomix gave the team letter grades on every part running on the floor, and what they did about their “C’s”
- How seeing the changeover data helped cut part-to-part time from 60 minutes to 30, without adding people or equipment
- Why Kody started the pilot with his most tenured operators, and how that decision shaped buy-in across the whole shop
If your team is running hard but still leaving productivity on the table, this is a play worth hearing.
This session is ideal for:
- Shop owners and GMs who are managing growth and need better visibility into operations
- Operations leaders who know downtime is a problem but can’t pin down where it lives
- Anyone considering machine monitoring and wondering what the first 90 days actually look like
