Process Optimization

Maximize Utilization. Turn Hidden Losses into Measurable Gains.

Hidden Capacity. Real Revenue.

Factories invest millions in automation, yet most assets still run below their true potential. Micro-stops, setup delays, and drift quietly erode utilization while new machines get purchased to chase output that existing lines could deliver.


Arch changes that.

Our AI-driven platform connects directly to machines and processes, surfacing invisible losses in real time and guiding engineers toward the highest-impact fixes. Gain more throughput from the equipment you already own without the extra capital spend.

 
core capabilities

Process Optimization for 
Today’s Factory

Hidden Loss Detection

Expose micro-stops and maintenance gaps before they add up to hours of lost production.

Asset Performance Intelligence

See utilization and OEE by line, site, and product with standardized KPI Sets.

Smarter Capex Planning

Prove ROI on existing assets with data-backed performance insights.

Process-Level Visibility

Drill down to the exact station, part, or job driving loss and act immediately.

Sustained Improvement

Turn discoveries into verified fixes with Action Manager tracking and accountability.

EQUIPMENT & PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

Process Optimization in Practice

Maintenance Optimization

Prevent unplanned downtime through cycle-level data, automated downtime labeling and guided maintenance actions.

 

Cycle-Time Stabilization

Detect micro-stops, speed variations, and process drift before they reduce throughput.

 
 

Continuous Improvement / 
Loss Elimination

Detect micro-stops, speed variations, and process drift before they reduce throughput.

 

Cross-Line Benchmarking

Compare identical assets across sites to expose variability and share best practices.

 
 

Attrition & Scrap Reduction

Correlate material losses (e.g., misplacements, dropped parts) with feeder, program, or operator conditions.

 

Asset Utilization & 
Capacity Management

Quantify performance versus theoretical capacity and identify under-used machines or lines.

 

Case Study Spotlight:

How a Leading Electronics Manufacturer Scaled Downtime Reduction with Arch Systems

HIGHLIGHTS:

$3.7M+

$3.7M+ hard savings from Lighthouse factory; additional savings expected globally
0%
70% automatic downtime classification from shopfloor machine data and easy AI voice labeling for the rest
0%
100% global adoption of Arch’s downtime tools following pilot success

Zero disruption to operations

during deployment—fully parallel to existing systems

A global automotive parts OEM partnered with Arch Systems to reduce downtime at a Lighthouse factory in China. Starting with traditional tracking, the company generated $3.7 million in hard savings over a two-year period. Building on that success, the team began scaling downtime analytics globally and piloted Arch’s AI-powered Automated Downtime Labeling at the lead site.
