Challenge Training in the use and maintenance of machinery is often problematic. The maintenance personnel are not permanent staff at the factory and may not have ever visited the factory before. The location of the machine, the parts needed for the repair and the use of the machine are the basics that should be known […]

Challenge There are dozens, if not hundreds, of systems and programs in one factory. When talking about a group, there are hundreds of production plants and factories and an unimaginable amount of data. Safety notifications, work efficiency, overall machine capacity and maintenance, documentation, production conditions and other day-to-day operations management are just a fraction of

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.

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

Challenge Large storage facilities are difficult to keep track of. Time is wasted going through boxes, pallets and their contents. Pallets are often moved from one place to another, leading to additional orders when it is not known whether the necessary tools and materials are still available. Later, the materials needed are found in another

Challenge Safety and recycling are big themes in the manufacturing industry. Several regulations and laws have been adopted to regulate both areas. Within the factory, the overall picture is difficult to visualise and it can be difficult for staff to navigate to the nearest safety or recycling point if necessary. Also, inspectors always have to

Challenge In one of our client companies, large import machines malfunctioned or even shut down incorrectly for several days. The company did not have a single automated system and real-time data to monitor the status of production equipment and optimise schedules.
