Transforming challenges into triumphs
At WireSight Ltd, we believe the true measure of innovation is its real-world impact. Explore our case studies to see how our human-in-the-loop self-learning diagnostic software is revolutionising electrical engineering, solving critical industry challenges, and delivering tangible results for businesses across the UK.
Addressing industry's critical skills gap
The engineering industry, particularly in electrical fault diagnosis, faces significant hurdles. An aging workforce, impending retirements, and difficulties in recruiting new engineers have created a critical skills gap. This often leads to increased downtime and reliance on external contractors to supplement in-house engineering teams. WireSight was developed to directly combat these challenges, capturing and replicating senior and specialist knowledge to empower your existing workforce and streamline operations.
A small facility, a big difference
One of our valued customers, a small cardboard processing facility in the Southwest UK, faced significant operational challenges. Their team of two engineers, though mechanically proficient, struggled with timely resolution of electrical faults. On average, an electrical breakdown would halt production for over 4 hours, severely impacting their tight margins. Within just one week of integrating WireSight, all six of their machines were mapped into our software. Over the subsequent three months, the average electrical breakdown resolution time plummeted to less than 50 minutes – from the initial production request to engineer handover. The built-in training element also allowed opposite shift engineers to collaboratively train on breakdowns using the software, effectively sharing crucial learning outcomes across the team.
Quantifying success: significant cost savings
The impact of WireSight is most evident in the numbers. Examining a three-month period prior to WireSight's implementation, the cardboard facility experienced 15 breakdowns, equating to 60 hours of downtime. At an estimated cost of £980.00 per hour for a single machine being down, this totalled approximately £58,000 in lost revenue, excluding overtime for lost production. In the three months since adopting WireSight, this painfully high number has been brought down to less than £9,000. Factoring in the annual cost of our software, the estimated total savings for this facility are in the region of £190,000 over a 12-month period. This demonstrates a clear and compelling return on investment.
Downtime transformed into profit
WireSight Ltd provides an industry innovation that ensures downtime no longer needs to be a revenue nightmare. Our client success stories prove that the return on investment speaks for itself where it matters most: less lost revenue and higher profit margins. Let us help you write your next success story.
