Motriq
Case studies

Real results from real factory floors.

See how manufacturers across automotive, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and logistics have used Motriq to cut downtime, improve traceability, and gain real-time visibility.

AutomotiveTier-1 Automotive Supplier
OEE & Machine Monitoring

42% reduction in unplanned downtime within 90 days.

The challenge

A Tier-1 automotive components supplier was experiencing frequent unplanned stoppages across 12 CNC machining lines. Downtime was logged manually on paper, making root-cause analysis slow and reactive. Production managers had no live visibility into machine states.

Our approach

Motriq deployed edge gateways on all 12 lines, connecting to existing PLCs via OPC-UA. A live OEE dashboard was configured per shift and per line, with automatic downtime categorisation and SMS alerts to supervisors within 60 seconds of a stoppage.

“We went from finding out about a stoppage an hour later to getting an alert in under a minute. The shift supervisors now walk the floor with data, not guesswork.”

Food & BeverageCold Chain Food Manufacturer
Temperature Monitoring

Zero compliance failures across 8 cold storage zones.

The challenge

A food manufacturer operating chilled and frozen storage across a 40,000 sq ft facility was relying on manual temperature checks every 4 hours. Two near-miss incidents in a single quarter put their FSSAI certification at risk and threatened a major retail contract.

Our approach

Motriq deployed 64 wireless temperature sensors across all cold storage zones, blast freezers, and the dispatch bay. Automated alerts were configured for any excursion beyond spec, with a full audit log generated automatically for compliance reporting.

“The automated compliance reports alone saved us 8 hours a week. But the real value is the peace of mind — we know the moment anything drifts out of spec.”

PharmaceuticalsGeneric Pharma Manufacturer
Barcode & RFID Traceability

End-to-end batch traceability deployed across 6 production lines.

The challenge

A pharmaceutical manufacturer needed to meet Schedule M GMP requirements for full batch traceability from raw material receipt to finished goods dispatch. Their existing paper-based system made recall simulations take over 4 hours and created significant audit risk.

Our approach

Motriq implemented barcode scanning at every stage of the production process — goods-in, dispensing, blending, filling, packaging, and dispatch. A digital genealogy record was created for every batch, with full integration into their existing ERP system.

“Our last regulatory audit was the smoothest we've ever had. The inspector asked for a batch genealogy record and we had it on screen in under two minutes.”

Logistics3PL Warehouse Operator
Pallet Tracking

Inventory discrepancies cut by 31% in the first quarter.

The challenge

A third-party logistics provider managing a 120,000 sq ft multi-client warehouse was losing an average of 2.3% of inventory to misplacement and mis-shipment each month. Manual cycle counts were taking 3 days and disrupting operations.

Our approach

Motriq deployed RFID readers at all dock doors and key internal chokepoints, with BLE beacons on high-value pallet positions. A live pallet location map was integrated with the client's WMS, enabling real-time inventory queries and automated dock-in/dock-out capture.

“We used to dread the monthly inventory reconciliation. Now it's a 4-hour job instead of a 3-day ordeal, and our clients have real-time visibility into their stock.”

AutomotiveCommercial Vehicle OEM
PDI Application

PDI throughput increased by 3× with zero paper.

The challenge

A commercial vehicle OEM was conducting pre-delivery inspections using 14-page paper checklists. Inspectors were spending 40% of their time on paperwork, defect records were illegible, and there was no way to track repeat defects or supplier quality trends.

Our approach

Motriq replaced the paper process with a mobile PDI application, configuring digital checklists for each vehicle variant. Inspectors capture photos at point of defect, sign off digitally, and defect data feeds directly into a quality analytics dashboard visible to the supplier quality team.

“The quality team can now see defect trends by supplier and by variant in real time. We identified a recurring torque issue with one supplier within the first week that would have taken months to surface on paper.”

— Head of Quality Assurance

3×Increase in PDI throughput
40%Reduction in inspection time
100%Defect photo capture rate
