Don’t Let Disjointed Technology Create Inefficient Processes

It’s no secret that inefficiencies in your production policies, delays in your manual operations, and outdated technologies can slowly drain your company’s financial, physical, and mental resources. As the drain becomes more pronounced, it’s tempting to invest in any new technology that claims to fix the problems. “Easy” fixes, however, often lead to expensive, under-used systems and machines that meet some of your needs without addressing the root of your company’s decline. A one-time solution may not be the best option—it might be time for a system-wide digital evolution.

Gather Meaningful, Actionable Data From Your Existing Technology

Enter the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT solutions are the new frontier in lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives. IoT solutions are focused on streamlining production processes by using a system of internet-based tools. With a proper IoT setup, these tools—such as equipment sensors that can assess production downtime, diagnostic tools that identify hangups on the line, and security equipment that monitors who is using each piece of technology at any given time—all communicate seamlessly with one another. This technological ecosystem can provide a level of knowledge and control over your entire process that you’ve never before experienced.

The goal is to work within your company’s existing framework to implement system-wide changes that utilize insights from your production data to upgrade your speed, efficiency, and lean performance.

A customized IoT solution should always be fitted for:

your-users
Your Users

Your IoT solution should address your company’s pain points from the perspective of the daily user. What issues do they see that you might not? What are they currently doing as a work-around to “solve the problem” and what are they looking for in a solution? Their voices will often describe the solution you need.

infrastructure
Your Infrastructure

Older, functional technology that doesn’t slow production may not need to be replaced. Instead, IoT solutions can supplement your existing infrastructure. Your IoT solution should always balance the need for cutting edge tech with the benefit of keeping your operations connected in one central hub.

growth-plan
Your Growth Plan

Your IoT solutions should address the problems you have now while also preparing your company to evolve into the digital future. Your IoT solutions should be the bridge between your tried and true methods and a new age. Incremental technological growth keeps you cutting edge and budget-practical.
