Case Study
Tenneco × Signalo
Cost reduction, improved communication, and elimination of production losses through the integration of Forkfleet, SkillsMatrix, and Signalo’s communication infrastructure.
The challenge
To maintain its position as a leading automotive manufacturer, Tenneco needed a highly optimized working environment where people, equipment, and technology operated in sync.
Employees relied on properly managed and maintained equipment to meet production targets. Efficient resource management was a top priority.
Previously, Tenneco used multiple standalone systems.
This resulted in fragmented processes that limited full, cost-effective utilization of available resources.
The company sought a simplified, integrated approach to production management, maintenance, and intralogistics.
The goal was better visibility, control, and sustained production standards.
The transformation
The partnership with Signalo focused on deploying proprietary systems that elevated work organization, communication, and resource utilization.
Forkfleet and SkillsMatrix were configured, supported by workstation tablets, forklift-mounted devices, and digital information boards.
Leaders and operators gained real-time access to breakdowns, calls, and task statuses—improving cross-department communication and reducing response and delivery times.
Web-based dashboards with advanced reporting supported operational and optimization decisions.
SkillsMatrix enabled competency tracking, training planning, and optimal machine staffing.
The results
Downtime, service calls, delivery times, and error detection were significantly reduced, directly lowering operational costs.
Teams gained greater situational awareness, enabling better planning and faster decision-making.
Clear visibility into breakdowns, locations, response times, and task statuses improved accountability and execution.
Reliable KPIs supported decisions around maintenance planning, staffing, training, and budgeting.
Data analysis allowed faster identification of inefficiencies and more accurate forecasting of future needs.
Do you see similar challenges in your production?
- Information about issues arrives too late, allowing downtime to grow.
- Production, logistics, and maintenance operate at different rhythms with no shared communication flow.
- Small disruptions escalate because no one sees them in real time.
- Daily operations rely on improvisation rather than a defined process.
