(Freedom: Cincinnati) -- Autocam Medical, a global contract manufacturer of high-precision CNC-machined surgical and medical components and devices, has ramped up its industrial internet of things (IIoT) footprint using Freedom’s Smart Manufacturing Platform. With the goal of improving productivity while increasing capacity, the Freedom Smart Manufacturing Platform allowed for just that and then some.

“We were able to quickly identify not only the gaps from plan, but what caused them so we could tackle the root cause and increase productivity,” says Jeff Goodman, vice president of business development for Autocam Medical. “After the initial pilot, we assigned internal value stream champions to learn the value of the Freedom software and then increased the number of assets within each value stream connected to the platform. We are excited to see how our organization has taken ownership of the real-time, detailed information and analytics produced by the Freedom platform. The things we love about Freedom are the easy-to-use mobile operator app, customizable dashboards displayed on large monitors in the shop, and its seamless scalability.”
