A global heavy machinery OEM was under mounting pressure: streamline maintenance, reduce downtime, and modernize their operations across multiple legacy-dominated facilities - without disrupting daily output. Dovient Copilot helped them achieve operational unification across disconnected systems and machines, enabling faster decisions, lower costs, and future-ready performance.

Background

The company produces high-spec industrial equipment used in mining, construction, and energy. Their plants featured a mix of decades-old CNC machines, hydraulic presses, and new robotic welders - each speaking different data languages, many with no digital interface at all. Despite recent ERP upgrades, plant-level visibility remained poor. Data from legacy machines was either undocumented or manually logged. New systems weren't integrated. Maintenance teams juggled between spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and siloed logs.
