Case Studies
Real patterns from Canadian manufacturers. Anonymized to protect our clients, but the outcomes are real.
Yield improvement and ROI in months — not years
A mid-size Canadian food manufacturer was running a legacy MES alongside 6 additional SaaS tools, with no unified view of production yield or waste. Full IoT replacement quotes came in at $1M+ and 18+ months.
MarTecho used the existing MES as the contextual hub. We added targeted sensors at key bottlenecks, built a canonical data model for production records, and deployed a lightweight analytics layer — without touching the core MES.
The pilot ran in 5 weeks. The manufacturer saw measurable yield improvement and could quantify waste reduction within the pilot period. Cost was a fraction of the quoted IoT replacement.
Consistent KPIs and faster rollouts across 5 plants
A multi-site Canadian manufacturer had a successful pilot at one plant but couldn't replicate it. Each site had different systems, different reporting formats, and different IT staff — leading to inconsistent data and slow rollouts.
MarTecho codified the pilot into reusable connector configurations and a canonical data model. We built a governance playbook, standardized KPI definitions, and ran training sessions at each site.
Rollout time per plant dropped by 3x. All sites now report against the same KPI framework, enabling corporate-level dashboards for the first time. Compliance audits became routine instead of chaotic.
