What Tire Plants Deal With Every Shift

Tire manufacturing is a compound-sensitive, temperature-critical, high-volume process where a single cure deviation or compound mix error can scrap an entire batch — or worse, reach the customer. Manual records, siloed press data and reactive maintenance amplify these risks every day.

No real-time cure press monitoring — deviations found too late
Compound batch records on paper — traceability gaps at every stage
TBM downtime not tracked — OEE unknown and unmanaged
Uniformity and balance test data never linked to press or compound
SAP batch postings done manually, hours after production
Recipe management on spreadsheets — wrong compound used at mixer
No scrap root-cause analysis — rework decisions based on gut feel
Aging PLCs on cure presses with no remote diagnostics capability
Cure Deviation
Undetected under/over-cure — batch scrapped or field return
Compound Error
Wrong mix at Banbury — entire downstream production affected
Scrap Rate
3–7% scrap in manual plants vs <1% in digital plants
Press OEE
Cure press OEE unknown — 60% typical without monitoring
Traceability Gap
Cannot link field return to specific press, cure cycle or compound
ERP Lag
Batch postings 4–12 hrs behind actual production
