Plant Services Featured Article: "Behind the Glass"

eMaint is proud to share that Boyd Helm, Maintenance Manager at Cardinal Glass and eMaint X3 CMMS user, has been featured in the December issue of Plant Services for his success with eMaint's CMMS system.

Boyd recently hosted eMaint's User Group Summit in Buford, Georgia and shared his story with other X3 users while providing a tour of Cardinal's world-class manufacturing facility. 

eMaint and Boyd have developed a strong partnership that has helped others using a CMMS understand the true benefits and possibilities of a maintenance management system.

The article "Behind The Glass" discusses how with the help of a CMMS and stronger team communication, Boyd was able to shrink downtime to less than 1%, reduce labor hours by 43%, decrease overtime by 60%, and increase daily production by 40%. This resulted in a strong operating profit of 45%, after several unprofitable years.
