Challenge Day-to-day operations management is challenging because there are many factories and many variables to consider. Important information is not easily accessible and it takes a lot of time to organise and make sound decisions. We have often encountered situations where we know what is happening, but we don’t know why. Solution With the Genius […]

Challenge Lots of papers, spreadsheets and poor understanding of key performance drivers. The overall picture of the production line was not known and uncontrolled production stoppages had a negative impact. No real-time data was available to implement corrective measures and monitor their effectiveness. Solution The Genius Core™ platform enabled the customer to design OEE meters

Challenge The field of business is becoming increasingly competitive and projects need to be taken on board on a large scale. This means several production steps and a lot of data in different systems. In busy times, quality and schedule promises are challenging to keep, as it is difficult for factory managers and salespeople alike

Challenge The production of a quality product requires carefully maintained conditions. Temperature, air pressure and humidity play a significant role and even small changes can affect the quality and durability of the final product. Monitoring these conditions takes a huge amount of time and changes are often noticed when the production batch is finished or

Challenge Electricity consumption is one of the biggest costs in the factory. Finding out the electricity consumption per machine takes a lot of time and resources, not to mention the consumption per product manufactured. This would be essential information to know, as it would help to determine the carbon footprint. Without information on the carbon

Solution The Genius Core™ platform can be used to model a real-world product for visual display 24/7. The platform allows

Challenge Safety notifications are a time-consuming process in the manufacturing industry. There has been no easy and certain solution to this, and many different marking methods have been tested in the factory. The factory has tested several ways to mark safety notifications, for example paper notes that gets easily lost, hundreds of lines of report
