Case studies

Proof, measured in six dimensions.

Our flagship pilot, plus illustrative scenarios drawn from our research into Ghana's engineering landscape. Every engagement we complete becomes a measured before-and-after.

Bordar-HKC: from paper-driven assembly to a digital production line

The starting point. A TV assembly warehouse running on paper travellers, spreadsheet stock counts and tribal knowledge. Production data arrived days late; layout changes were guesswork; downtime went unexplained.

The engagement. A maturity scan placed the operation at Level 1 (Reactive). We modelled the warehouse and line in BIM, applied lean analysis to the digital model to redesign material flow, and introduced digital work instructions and real-time production capture at each station.

The shift. Within the pilot period the operation moved from Reactive to Opportunistic-Integrated — with the model now used to simulate every layout change before anyone moves a bench.

Pilot engagement; metrics measured over the pilot period and rounded.

Illustrative scenarios

What the journey looks like in your sector

Anonymised composites built from our research and pilot work — shown to illustrate the approach until published client studies replace them.

From CAD silos to a common data environment

Drawings lived on individual PCs; coordination happened by email. A scan scored Technology 2.1 and Process & Data 1.8. The roadmap prioritised a cloud common data environment and BIM execution plans on two live projects — before any new software licences. Six months in: rework on coordinated packages down by a third, and tender responses cite BIM capability as a differentiator.

Downtime you can see coming

One production line, recurring unexplained stoppages, and an hour of downtime costing serious money — industry research puts it as high as $300k/hour for large plants. IoT sensors on critical motors fed a simple dashboard; three months of data revealed the failure pattern, and a predictive maintenance window cut unplanned stops sharply. The same data now drives energy optimisation.
