What is Connected Manufacturing?
Your solution when your best worker is on holiday.
Your centralised tool database.
Your complete tools at a glance – across all the different manufacturers. Your workflows recorded digitally.
Your solution when questions about delivery dates put you in the hot seat.
Your digital work schedule with live status. Accessible any time, anywhere.
Your dedicated line between the Production and Work Planning teams.
Your central source of production expertise.
Your (digital) solution when you need to take action.
Your personal adviser which tidies up your tool database and guarantees that tools can be issued 24/7. And that banishes paper from the Production department.
Your solution when it all gets too much for you.
Your link between all important systems. Your source of structure and order. Your Production department that organises itself.
Your employees know the score when it comes to the order – and now you do, too!
It’s so simple to integrate Connected Manufacturing into your production process. In our experience, it only takes around 3 months on average to go from implementing the solution to being able to use it fully in production.
Our consultants will be glad to assist with a holistic support strategy (including a project owner all the way through to live operations) throughout the entire process.
