About Apex Manufacturing

Apex Manufacturing is a leading automotive parts supplier with 3 manufacturing plants producing over 2 million components annually. With $500M in annual revenue, equipment reliability is critical to meeting customer demands.

Their operations depend on hundreds of CNC machines, robotic assembly lines, and precision equipment that require constant monitoring and maintenance.

The Challenge

Apex was losing $50,000 per hour of unplanned downtime. Their reactive maintenance approach meant they were always putting out fires instead of preventing them.

  • Average 40 hours of unplanned downtime per month
  • No visibility into equipment health
  • Spare parts often out of stock
  • Maintenance history scattered across spreadsheets

The Solution

FacilityLane's AI-powered platform connected to Apex's equipment sensors, enabling predictive maintenance that catches problems before they cause downtime.

  • IoT sensor integration for real-time monitoring
  • AI predictions for equipment failures
  • Automated spare parts inventory management
  • Complete digital maintenance records
"We went from firefighting mode to actually being ahead of problems. FacilityLane's predictive alerts have prevented dozens of major failures."
