/ Smart manufacturing / Lean factory / Zero mistakes
Mistakes are part of being human, and even machines are not perfect. Despite having the best team of people and machines, errors can still occur in production. With countermeasures in place, you aim to prevent mistakes from happening again, ideally by embedding these solutions into the process.
In smart.box, you’ll find a variety of intelligent tools designed to support your journey toward zero mistakes.
Rather than displaying all order information and drawings to everyone, it’s more effective to provide each employee with the specific information they need for their task. This eliminates the need for searching, ensuring the right instructions are just one click away
By sending timely messages to employees, you help them ensure quality delivery. For example, a message can be received at the start of an order, prompting actions like wearing specific PPE, checking dimensions, or performing quick validations. The same can apply during the task or at the end of the operation. Machine or tool settings can also be displayed for informational purposes or even used for control, such as adjusting machine settings or initiating the logistics process.
Many companies face challenges with communication after a customer complaint. You might record this in ERP and highlight it with bold comments or post a <note> at workstations or on communication boards. However, a smarter approach is to engage employees interactively. This ensures notifications are sent only where necessary, and ideally, employees are prompted to enter measurements multiple times for verification, reducing the chance of recurring errors.
While working, operators often encounter issues and may need immediate assistance. In smart.box, they simply press the blue button to send a direct request for help to the right person. The relevant colleague or department instantly receives a notification via text message, app, email, or on their live dashboard. This eliminates the need for the operator to search for help, allowing them to continue with their tasks while assistance is on the way!
