Overview
The Tema Manufacturing Plant is a medium-sized textile factory in Tema, employing 100 workers across two shifts. It produces high-demand fabrics for local and export markets, relying on automated systems for efficiency.
The Challenge
Internet failures during production runs, occurring 3-4 times weekly, halted automated machinery and order processing. This resulted in GHS 100,000 monthly losses from downtime, delayed shipments, and penalty fees.
The Solution
The plant used Boldnet’s Downtime Calculator to pinpoint critical loss points, then implemented a hybrid backup solution with satellite and fiber redundancy to ensure constant connectivity during peak production hours.
The Results
With 99.7% uptime, the plant saved GHS 90,000 monthly, reduced production delays by 85%, and increased order fulfillment rates to 98%. Worker productivity rose by 20% due to fewer interruptions.
