Lean transformation in manufacturing strives to create a culture of continuous improvement, eliminating waste and reducing costs. Control over production processes and real-time insights on product flows are the building blocks of lean optimization. Woxu’s RTLS tracks and analyzes moving assets, people, and WIP to discover issues that relate to the 8 wastes of lean manufacturing.
Detect faulty assets and deviations from the target product state. Prevent re-introduction in the production cycle.
Keep track of WIP to avoid goods lost and re-ordered, avoiding increased costs and excess inventory.
Measure waiting time of WIP to gather accurate data and identify improvements to the production flow and avoid down time.
Map distance traveled by goods, orders, and operators and detect improvement opportunities to reduce operational costs.
Locate inventory to prevent lost positions, resulting in excess stock, inventory build-up, increased storage space and higher cash flow.
Introduce spaghetti charts tracking operator or robot movements and indicate how motion flows can be improved.
Keep track of orders in real time and provide accurate individual work instructions in MTO environments to avoid unnecessary manufacturing process components.
Automated location data reduces the need for manual time studies by industrial engineers, creating more time to spend on analyzing and improving processes.
Pinpoint the exact location of materials and products throughout the whole production process
Automated time studies and insightful analytics
Optimize inventory management, avoid manual audits
Obtain transparency on materials, reduce asset loss and avoid goods lost
Collect actionable data for quality control and efficiency checks
Plot process mapping to fuel performance metrics
Unlock asset performance data to raise OEE (overall equipment effectiveness)
Measure asset and process down time, reduce downtime risks
Analyze and fix inconsistent and inefficient workflows
Avoid inefficient wastes in motion & transportation
Spot bottlenecks and prevent disruptions
Minimizing downtime, setup and changeover time
Correct missing goods issues and manage inventory more effectively, avoid unnecessary WIP & excess stock
Analyze policy performance and compliance levels
Make quick decisions based on real-time data and maximize uptime
Track movement and stock in processes, at batch and at item level
Introduce eKanban WIP control
