Arundo Analytics, a software company enabling advanced analytics in heavy industry, has successfully deployed the Arundo software to improve manufacturing operations at Coats, a major UK industrial thread manufacture. The initial deployment of the software collects over 800 machine signals at 1hZ intervals at the company’s manufacturing site in Shenzhen, China.

This access will create an unparalleled level of streaming of cloud-based global insights into machine utilisation and overall equipment effectiveness. Based on the detailed granularity of these insights, concrete improvement actions can be rolled out across the business.

Coats has started an ambitious global Factory of the Future initiative to connect and improve operations internally and across the value chain through machine learning and streaming data analytics. With 19,000 employees in over 50 countries, Coats operates a global supply chain and production operation across six continents.
