Summary:

Go Paperless to Improve Quality, Collaboration, and Agility on a Global Scale.

Paperless factory is A Cornerstone of  Lean Manufacturing.

Has your company begun its journey towards lean manufacturing? Have you realized that your paper-based system of planning and executing work orders is too time-consuming and cumbersome?

Challenges:

Integrating the ideal technologies for the best results is what business is all about. Manufacturing companies are also starting to understand the benefit that eliminating paper and transitioning to digital systems can deliver to the system. Exploring paperless manufacturing is an important developmental step for small-to-medium-sized firms to gain a competitive edge. 

Embracing the paperless revolution results in a more secure and precise procedure - as well as more revenue. And many of today's shop-floor technologies, such as Manufacturing Execution Systems(MES), Document Management apps, and more specialized point solutions like Electronic Work Instruction (EWI) applications, provide value to companies in a variety of ways.

Solutions:

• Document KPI progress using pre-formatted charts
• Drill down to the shop floor to analyze/resolve issues
• Create dispositions for Quality concerns automatically
• Keep track of all equipment and materials used
• Track assets with the reusable or consumable designation
• Save time by using a multiple asset tag search filter
• Manage serialized components to be consumed in the production
• Maintain compliance with gauge calibration dates/validation
• Schedule equipment maintenance and preserve records
• Get reminders for scheduled equipment maintenance
• Keep as-built records for future upgrade plans
• Use a shop floor productivity report to optimize production
• Use bespoke reports to summarize as-built data
• Use select screens on an authorized mobile device

Benefits:

• Track, measure, record, and manage workflow dynamically
• Significantly improved visibility and granularity of current production status across all lines, both in real-time and historically
• Develop production plans that include authorized, precise work instructions.
• Maintain a full and accurate production record for all goods.
• Increased efficiency and quality assurance
• Less material wastage
• Improved employee efficiency and faster response time
• Complying with legal and regulatory requirements

Paperless Manufacturing provides benefits and ROI

Paperless manufacturing allows businesses to reduce quality flaws, eliminate human mistakes, reduce waste and scrap, and enhance productivity.The system provides the complete control of the shop floor and the visibility to take the better decisions.

Paperless solutions are becoming more popular in the manufacturing industry as a result of current developments. Customers want greater customizations and shorter turnaround times from smaller production runs. They anticipate receiving real-time updates on the status of their orders. In terms  of meeting these objectives, paperless manufacturing has a distinct advantage over paper-based methods
