OPTEL and Worximity are partnering to help manufacturers improve their operational efficiency.
QUÉBEC CITY—OPTEL Group, a developer of traceability and vision systems, and Worximity Technology, Inc., a provider of real-time monitoring software for production and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), are collaborating to help manufacturers boost operational efficiency, according to a release from OPTEL Group.
Already established on more than 6,000 factory lines, OPTEL will offer Worximity’s real-time production monitoring and analytics software. As a result, customers can “leverage a wealth of data and insights to improve throughput and OEE, all while reducing downtimes, waste, and costs,” the release stated.
“With the implementation of serialization regulations for our pharmaceutical customers, we’ve observed operational inefficiencies, particularly around line speed and rejection rates,” said OPTEL President Louis Roy, in the release. “We are committed to reversing this trend by offering innovative technologies like Worximity’s solutions to help our customers produce more with their existing assets and resources. Worximity impressed us with its ease of use, rapid installation, and expertise in driving continuous improvement on the shop floor.”
OPTEL Group develops traceability technologies for industries that include pharmaceuticals, metals and minerals, batteries, food and beverage, agrochemicals, and consumer packaged goods (CPG). The company’s supply chain visibility platform, Optchain™, supports ESG compliance and transparent product life cycles.
Worximity Technology, founded in 2011, develops innovative technologies that enable automated data collection, real-time operations monitoring, automated analytical reports, and preventive and predictive advice. The company also plays a leading role in promoting the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0.
“When OPTEL approached us about adding value to their existing equipment for their customers, the partnership was an obvious fit,” said Yannick Desmarais, founder and CEO of Worximity, in the release. “Through our collaboration, we offer a non-intrusive, plug-and-play OEE solution that can be deployed in less than a day, typically driving OEE improvements of 10-to-25 percent within the first year.”
According to the companies, the partnership offers manufacturers the opportunity to achieve substantial efficiency gains through real-time production data monitoring. The goal is to enable smarter decision-making, reduced downtimes, and increased productivity.
“Given that a 3-to-5 percent improvement in OEE typically leads to a 1 percent increase in profit, this collaboration between OPTEL and Worximity has the potential to significantly boost profitability by streamlining production processes and reducing inefficiencies,” the release stated.
