Smart Manufacture

Watch the recording of this week’s webinar where we delved into health and safety in manufacturing through the lens of digital technologies. The key message throughout the session? Don’t start with the technology. Identify the problem you are trying to solve first, and then decide if and what technology is the correct tool for the job. Massive thanks to Sara Duff (Smart Manufacture) Martin Rigley OBE (Devtank Ltd) and Dan Bradley (IoT Horizon Ltd) for joining us to share your insights and experience! 📹 Watch the recording → https://lnkd.in/ehK9mFfg

Sara Duff is looking forward to speaking at this forthcoming webinar for the #ukmanufacturing sector.

Being able to quickly respond to new customer enquiries is vital for any manufacturer in ensuring they maintain a healthy order book but managing all the associated activity to achieve this can be extremely challenging. That’s where an #mrp system can really add value to your business in enabling: - Faster quoting - through ability to access crucial information such as inventory levels, material costs, and production capacity - Minimised stockouts - by providing precise inventory management and forecasting tools - End-to-End traceability - through functionalities like lot and serial number tracking, and tracking shop floor activities, providing real-time insights into material usage, work order progress, and employee involvement - Increased efficiency – through optimising inventory management and production planning and automating many routine administrative tasks. - Improved Cost Control - through detailed and real-time visibility into all cost-related aspects of the production process.
