Case studiesManufacturing

A factory floor that reports itself.

A daily walk for order status and years of paper work logs, replaced by one scanning system built around the floor.

One person walked the entire floor every day to collect the status of every order. At best, every status was a day old. When he was out, it was three days, sometimes a week. Meanwhile every employee logged their work on paper, and the logs piled up for years: traceable, actionable data that nobody could use.

A scanning system built around how that floor actually worked fixed both problems at once.
