Global leader in rail transport revolutionises operations with smarter tracking
The challenges
Manufacturers of complex machinery often face uncoordinated working processes, scattered components and limited visibility on work progression. In this case, multiple production lines needed an accurate and efficient way to manage the delivery of parts and components to the right assembly stations. The lack of control was leading to increasing errors, delays, and production costs.
The key challenges included:
- Managing work in progress (WIP) across several lines.
- Ensuring seamless integration with ERP.
- Avoiding errors in part delivery and assembly sequencing.
The solution: RFiD Discovery ultra-wideband for real-time visibility
To overcome these challenges, the production area was equipped with RFID Discovery’s advanced tracking solution, delivering real-time visibility on each assembly line down to 30 cm.
Fully integrated with ERP (enterprise resource planning) and MES (manufacturing execution system), the solution extends end-to-end visibility across the production environment. Real-time location data is captured and fed directly into TrackSphere™, our powerful tracking platform.
TrackSphere™ processes the information and translates it into clear, actionable insights in the form of notifications, alarms, and reports. This enables teams to manage workflows proactively and react instantly to any issue.
Crucially, TrackSphere™ also supports multi-site operations, giving manufacturers a consolidated view of what is happening, where, and when across all facilities. This clarity transforms operational efficiency, ensuring smoother production flows and greater control.
