Saint-Gobain Gyproc Denmark is part of the Saint-Gobain Group, a global leader in building materials. Gyproc specializes in plasterboard products and aims for operational excellence through innovative solutions.

Challenges

Saint-Gobain Gyproc Denmark needed a new approach to better understand production line performance and reduce downtime. Manual data collection and often incomplete reports posed significant challenges to optimizing production line efficiency. The lack of reliable data made it difficult to identify production issues and implement improvement measures.

Implementation of Evocon

To address these challenges, Saint-Gobain Gyproc Denmark adopted the Evocon OEE system. Evocon is a cloud-based system that provides real-time production monitoring and performance analysis. The system is straightforward: its plug-and-play functionality allows quick setup, and its cloud-based structure enables production data to be monitored from anywhere.

Moreover, Evocon prioritizes cybersecurity, ensuring that sensitive production data is securely stored and transmitted. This focus on security safeguards the system against potential threats, providing peace of mind for users.

Key Applications:

• Data collection and reporting were automated.
• More transparent and easily understandable reports were provided for operators and managers.
• Real-time data was used to enhance Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

Results

Following the implementation of the Evocon system, Saint-Gobain Gyproc Denmark achieved significant improvements. Key results in the early years included:

1. Increase in OEE: Production line efficiency improved significantly through better planning and equipment performance monitoring.
2. Reduction in downtime: Issues were quickly identified and resolved thanks to real-time alerts and analyses.
3. Data-driven decision-making: Evocon made production data more accessible and transparent, enabling both operators and managers to make better-informed decisions.

The teams at Gyproc Denmark found that Evocon not only enabled them to monitor production data but also provided opportunities to optimize production processes more effectively. The system proved to be an effective solution for businesses looking to enhance transparency and equipment efficiency in production.
