Lean manufacturing and World Class manufacturing are two of the most popular and effective approaches to improve the efficiency, quality and profitability of production processes. They aim to eliminate waste, optimize resources and deliver value to customers. However, implementing these approaches requires careful planning, coordination and monitoring of various aspects of the production system, such as material flow, inventory levels, quality control, maintenance and logistics.
One of the key challenges in achieving Lean manufacturing and World Class manufacturing is to ensure that the production lines have the right amount of materials and parts at the right time and place. Any shortage or delay in supplying the necessary inputs can cause disruptions, downtime and defects in the production process, resulting in waste of time, labor, energy and money. Therefore, it is essential to have a reliable and effective system that can monitor the material levels in the production lines and alert the warehouse and internal logistics teams to replenish them as needed.
This is where our innovative IOT solutions come in. We offer a comprehensive software and hardware product that can track the part and material levels in the production lines using wireless IOT sensors and IOT asset tracking tags with mesh networking capabilities. Our sensors and tags do not require any networking infrastructure or power cabling, as they can run on battery and communicate with each other. This eliminates the need for expensive and complex installation and deployment efforts.
Our software can track the events and report the operational efficiency of internal parts logistics. It can generate warnings and alarms in case of delays or shortages, and inform the material internal logistics teams (milk run teams) to carry the missing parts to the related production area. It can also generate operational utilization and efficiency reports that can help you analyze and improve your production performance.
By using our IOT solutions, you can achieve Lean manufacturing and World Class manufacturing goals by ensuring that your production lines have the optimal level of materials and parts at all times. You can reduce waste, increase productivity, improve quality and save costs. You can also gain visibility and control over your production system and make data-driven decisions to enhance your competitiveness.
