Smart Factory
Leverage digitized processes for live insights, lower costs, and reduced downtime.
Today's Challenges
Paper-based Documentation & Inefficient Process Monitoring
Paper-based documentation slows down digital transformation and relies on outdated, error-prone methods. Traditional process monitoring also lacks real-time insights into work-in-progress (WIP) and completed workflows, leading to delayed decision-making and reduced productivity.
Ensuring Process Quality Control
In modern production environments, quality assurance is indispensable. However, delays, sequence errors, and blocked materials jeopardize supply chain transparency and compliance with standards. Key metrics such as order delays, error rates, and workload overviews are crucial for maintaining consistent quality assurance.
Minimize Search Times
Search times impact productivity. Quickly locating tools, materials, or equipment keeps employees focused on their core tasks, reducing downtime and delays. Efficient access to information minimizes bottlenecks and keeps production on track, enabling teams to consistently meet their targets.
Error-Prone Material Replenishment Planning
Manual material replenishment processes often result in costly errors, delays, and operational disruptions. Avoiding these mistakes is essential to maintaining uptime and ensuring a continuous, efficient production flow.
Siloed Business Systems
Optimized manufacturing requires seamless communication between ERP, WMS, and MES systems. Without integration, data silos, inventory issues, and workflow inefficiencies arise, hindering effective asset and order management on the shop floor.
