AGCO Improves Tractor Production Visibility and Efficiency with Apriso MES
In brief: Case study showing how AGCO deployed Apriso MES to double tractor assembly output, reduce takt time, and improve OEE by 22% at new Lean facilities.
Case study showing how AGCO deployed Apriso MES to double tractor assembly output, reduce takt time, and improve OEE by 22% at new Lean facilities.
AGCO implemented Apriso at two new factories in Germany to support high-volume tractor production. The system delivers real-time production data, finite scheduling, and material synchronization with SAP. Results include doubled line output to 16 units, takt time below 10 minutes, and 8% productivity gains in year one with 25-30% projected over three years.
Doubled tractor assembly to 16 units per line without efficiency loss
Reduced takt time below 10 minutes and improved OEE by 22%
Enabled one new product pilot per month with up to 60% new parts
Integrated real-time data capture with SAP for scheduling and quality
Supported Lean operations with minimal floor inventory and instant KPI visibility
