This means that disruptions in final packaging often cause complete line stoppages.<br\/>Complex processes, unclear fault messages, and a lack of technical expertise lead to valuable production time being lost. Employees walk between levels and plant components because signal lights do not clearly indicate where the fault lies. At the same time, many logistics employees lack the training to quickly identify causes and resolve them independently.<br\/>Such challenges are widespread in practice: they occur daily in numerous production lines \u2013 especially in the food and beverage industry. In the project with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotkaeppchen-mumm.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rotk\u00e4ppchen-Mumm<\/a>, these very problems were central obstacles on the path to greater efficiency.<br\/>How can typical disruptions in final packaging be resolved faster \u2013 and thus achieve real efficiency improvement?<br\/>The answer lies in a digital approach that systematically leverages experiential knowledge.<br\/>Together with <strong>Peerox<\/strong>, a solution approach was implemented that shows: Efficiency improvement is possible \u2013 through intelligent knowledge management, targeted root cause analysis, and software-supported employee assistance.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer h-30-15\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\" style=\"color:#134a64\">Knowledge that works: How Peerox uses MADDOX to make fault causes transparent and design smarter processes<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer h-30-15\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the introduction of <g id=\"gid_0\">MADDOX<\/g>, the handling of disruptions in final packaging at Rotk\u00e4ppchen-Mumm has fundamentally changed \u2013 entirely in the spirit of sustainable efficiency improvement. As soon as a disruption occurs, it is not only indicated by a signal light, but also displayed visually on a large touch panel. Employees click on the disruption directly and immediately receive suggestions for possible causes and the affected plant component.<br\/>The special feature: If the cause is still unknown to the person on site, they refer to the adjacent tablet. There, they find a structured knowledge base \u2013 including images, videos, and concrete solution proposals, most of which were entered by technical colleagues themselves. This allows experiential knowledge to be accessed, supplemented, and used directly at the point of action.<br\/>If the person confirms the solution, this information is used for further system improvement: The AI-powered search algorithm in <g id=\"gid_1\">MADDOX<\/g> learns along and links causes with solutions. At the same time, the disruption is documented \u2013 including human cause assignment.<br\/>The result: fewer unnecessary paths, shorter reaction times, and measurable efficiency improvement in the line.<br\/>Logistics employee Dieter is happy because he has to resolve problems less often and saves unnecessary trips. He prefers to get his cardio points on his fitness tracker by cycling in nature rather than climbing stairs at the noisy palletizer.      <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer h-30-15\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\" style=\"color:#134a64\">Measurable Efficiency Improvement: Practical Example from the Food Industry with Rotk\u00e4ppchen-Mumm<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer h-30-15\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot project with Rotk\u00e4ppchen-Mumm clearly shows: Efficiency improvement is not just a goal, but a measurable result. The proportion of &#8220;time without disruption&#8221; could be increased month after month in the observed lines after the commissioning of <strong>MADDOX<\/strong> \u2013 particularly visible in small filling (bottling line for piccolo bottles) in November, where disruption-free production time reached the highest proportion of machine running time. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further evidence of this is the development of the average disruption duration for frequently occurring error codes. The following graphic exemplarily shows how the duration for errors 2202 and 2145 significantly reduced over three months. Especially for these frequent disruptions, the use of <strong>MADDOX<\/strong> led to faster reactions, more targeted measures, and a noticeable relief for employees.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/peerox.admo.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Balkendiagramm-Entwicklung-der-durchschnittlichen-Stoerungsdauer-fuer-verschiedene-Fehlercodes.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peerox.admo.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Balkendiagramm-Entwicklung-der-durchschnittlichen-Stoerungsdauer-fuer-verschiedene-Fehlercodes.webp 600w, https:\/\/peerox.admo.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Balkendiagramm-Entwicklung-der-durchschnittlichen-Stoerungsdauer-fuer-verschiedene-Fehlercodes-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These advances were not only visible but also actively utilized: The consistently high system usage and positive feedback confirm the everyday suitability of the solution \u2013 from the worker to the technician.<sup data-fn=\"783e7bb3-0309-4fc5-b16b-47babd74f5c4\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#783e7bb3-0309-4fc5-b16b-47babd74f5c4\" id=\"783e7bb3-0309-4fc5-b16b-47babd74f5c4-link\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer h-30-15\"><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><br\/>1)<\/strong> Peerox uses the presented evaluations together with its customers during the piloting and implementation process of <strong>MADDOX<\/strong>.
