Production

Digital shopfloor management

Problem

Production employees as well as other departments and external parties are involved in the processes on the store floor, which led to an inadequate overview of the processes and the current status
Lack of transparency due to personal, undocumented agreements meant that there was no overview of workflows, process status and support requirements
The KPIs were also recorded in various tools, all of which had to be maintained separately

Solution

As a solution, Simplifier was developed as an app with three overview boards that can be filled with information from SAP systems, production systems, machine data and documents
The data on the current production orders can be called up and the processing status reported back via a plant employee’s tablet – the processing status can also be viewed in real time
Data on the teams’ KPIs, such as output quantity and productivity, are presented in an appealing visualization and supported by a traffic light system to indicate deviations

Impact

Increased transparency in assembly plants.

The app makes it possible to gain a better overview of the processes on the store floor and to measure and adjust the teams’ KPIs in one tool. Plant employees get an overview of which devices are in which location and can open the corresponding assembly documentation with a single click.
