McCain | Digital Transformation: Reimagining Manufacturing with AI-Powered Analytics
Download PDF Version
McCain partnered with TribalScale to modernize manufacturing through AI-driven analytics and digital workflows—delivering faster insights, higher efficiency, and a scalable model for 50+ plants worldwide.
Impact Delivered
Challenge
Legacy systems and paper-based workflows limited visibility and slowed decision-making across plants. To stay competitive, McCain needed a scalable, enterprise-grade solution that harnessed real-time data and AI to boost consistency, sustainability, and profitability.
Solution
TribalScale partnered closely with McCain using a design-led, agile model, co-creating in sprints that made the process transparent and adaptable. From domain-focused workshops to active collaboration with operators and supervisors, every step ensured solutions were sustainable, usable, and ready for global implementation.
Our Approach
TribalScale applied a design-led, agile model—co-creating solutions with operators, supervisors, and McCain’s digital leadership. Through collaborative sprints and domain-focused workshops, we built digital tools tailored for usability, rapid adoption, and global scalability.
Digital Centerline Management (DCL): AI-powered recommendations using live and historical data to guide operators in real time, improving product quality and reducing variability.
Digital Daily Direction Setting (DDDS): A paperless workflow that transforms checklists and meetings into digital dashboards—streamlining collaboration, accountability, and problem-solving across production lines.
The platform was engineered with a cloud-native architecture using Microsoft PowerApps, TypeScript, Node.js, and Azure—built for scalability across McCain’s global network.
