Belvoir Farm cuts downtime by 70%

From guesswork to real-time clarity

THE CHALLENGE

Guesswork, paper trails, and reactive fixes.

1. Unknown Downtime
Despite measuring OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), Belvoir Farm’s team struggled to stay ahead of downtime issues.
2. Unmanagable Paperwork
Handwritten logs were cumbersome and prone to errors.
3. Delayed Reaction
Insights were delayed, forcing reactive decision-making.

After just one month of gathering data through Busroot, Belvoir Farm’s team spotted a major pain point on their depalletizer. Armed with insight (not assumptions), they tackled mechanical issues and improved training - leading to a 70% reduction in downtime on that machine alone.

Efficiency goals - including carbon reduction and full recyclability - felt harder to achieve without better control over production performance.

To meet their net zero goals by 2030 and maintain their market-leading quality, they needed a system that was:



1. Easy to use
2. Fast to set up
3. Actionable in real time

The solution: Busroot in action

Busroot’s three simple steps made it easy:

• Connect to existing machinery
• Calibrate data streams for accuracy
• Capture and act on insights - fast

Belvoir Farm didn’t just collect more data - they gained one clear dashboard that gave their team the power to:

• Spot issues instantly
• Measure OEE accurately without paper
• Prioritise fixes that mattered most

Real-time data, real-world impact:

70%
Downtime reduction on the depalletizer in just one month - driven by real-time visibility and alerts.
100%
...digital. From paper logs to live dashboards - with Busroot now powering a paperless QMS in the pipeline.
