Factory Performance: Overall Equipment Effectiveness, Defining the Undefined (Featuring Belden)

AWS Industrial Insights

In this episode, we chatted with Logan Cooper from Belden–director of quality and lean manufacturing at their Richmond, Indiana facility–on his role in improving visibility into factory performance metrics. Initiating a cross-functional project to implement one of Belden’s own digital solutions, Cooper streamlined data collection across disparate equipment, taking a pen-and-paper system to an AWS-connected process. The result? Facility status information is accessible in real-time via equipment interfaces, heads-up displays, and remote cloud-based dashboards, all in addition to a productivity improvement of around 10%.
