Manual labeling and reporting slowing everyone down
Labeling and production reporting at Lyons relied on heavily manual, non-value-added work. Data accuracy suffered, and employees spent time on paperwork instead of higher-value tasks.
Lyons also lacked the production data it needed to check order accuracy and reduce errors made during production.
I can see real-time [data] on the application on my phone. I don’t have to call someone at the plant to know what is happening.
Outcomes
By integrating Smart Factory with its labeling system, Lyons automated production tracking and reporting, reduced errors and minimized problems downstream.
Accurate, Auditable Performance
Production data in Smart Factory is auditable, with a history of any day or shift to go back to. Better accuracy means better inventory numbers and fewer customer issues.
Traceability on Every Label
Labels now show the line, the time printed and the unit number, so mislabeled products and mixed loads are no longer a worry on the floor.
Greater Process Control
Real-time and historical data for every line sits in one dashboard, and alerts flag any machine running outside its standard parameters.
Data Shared Across the Plant
Production data is shared plant-wide, so every employee works from the same picture.
