This system has allowed me, as the person in charge of the plant, to monitor our processes remotely. In addition, the alarm system that is included has allowed my technical team to act sooner and deal with unscheduled stops. A key point is the measurement of times and cycles. They have helped us measure productivity and make decisions on how to balance our work shifts and not increase fixed costs, as well as how to provide feedback to staff when the planned production is not achieved.

The challenge

What they faced

The owner, living two hours away from the factory, was only receiving weekly reports on parts produced with no insights into the active status of machines or what parts were running.

Our approach

How we helped

The strategy involved using an IoT device with a proximity sensor to measure each start and stop cycle and Bluetooth tracking on each injection mold. A cloud-based server was set up for access at the factory or off-premise.
