A dynamic paperless approach offers instant communication of process information and allows digital feedback to ensure compliance and drive action within a manufacturing organization. The journey of adopting this modern approach is demanding and a long-term vision is critical. Therefore, a strategic partner to provide an expedited implementation of a digital manufacturing information management system is essential.

More than just paper saving

Going digital enables the information to be seamlessly linked in a revision controlled, hierarchical system, increasing its velocity and accuracy. Like a master model system, each piece references the controlling pieces, allowing the process to be dynamic for alternate process paths such as rework. When the structure is integrated into your PLM, MES, and ERP systems, it becomes a single tool that disappears into the process. This fully integrated system also provides something previously unavailable – Live Data.

Imagine having live production data at your fingertips!

Now you can…

  • Evaluate bottlenecks
  • Escalate issues on real time
  • Manage your production schedule with minimal assumptions
  • Improve product costing due to accurate standardization

Implementing digital manufacturing process information facilitates instant input, both from a team member and/or from the equipment. Improving clarity through visual work instructions is another critical component of a digital manufacturing solution. This new level of clarity reduces non-conformances and accelerates the rework of non-conforming material.

To implement a digital manufacturing process solution, there are several challenges that an organization must overcome.Right from production systems and skilled resources to the entire value chain,there will be a need to undergo a make-over to enable this digital transformation.To ensure a successful implementation, it is critical to find a strategic partner that understands your challenges and can work with you through each step of your digital transformation journey,while minimizing the impact to your staff and daily production output.

QuEST Global is an advocate of providing customized digital solutions that make sense for your business. While many search for either tangible engineering answers or subtle management improvements, they often miss what connects the two. The velocity of the process information, its accuracy, and the clarity of the message are critical to removing the constraints. With a history of proven success and extensive experience in digital transformation, QuEST’s engineers have more to offer than just paper-saving services and solutions.
