Smart Manufacturing
Staying competitive means embracing smarter ways to make, move, and evolve.
The manufacturing sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by technological evolution and the growing complexity of the global market. Today, improving efficiency means not only optimizing time and costs, but also making production processes more flexible, intelligent, and connected. Smart Manufacturing embodies this new vision: an approach that integrates data, automation, and artificial intelligence to create dynamic, responsive, and sustainable production environments.
Our Capabilities
Digital transformation in manufacturing integrates processes, people, and data to enhance collaboration across the entire supply chain. Our services help clients define tailored technology strategies to create lasting competitive advantages and create a sustainable factory.
A SUCCESS STORY
Baillie Lumber Transforms Business Operations by Leveraging the Power of Data
Industry 5.0
Industry 5.0 represents a new era of manufacturing, where digital technologies transform processes to ensure greater flexibility, productivity, and quality. We guide companies through the transition to the “factory of the future,” focusing first on people and then on the technologies that support them in complex processes, with the goal of achieving more with fewer resources.
Plant-Level Data Tracking and Work Center Integration
An effective strategic decision-making process relies on integrated analysis of data from multiple levels and sources. Providing clear, consolidated information to stakeholders – both locally and globally – enables performance monitoring, production optimization, and reduction of waste and costs. We support companies from data integration to reporting design and the implementation of advanced software solutions to maximize the value of their information.
Manufacturing Performance Optimization
Efficiency is one of the most important goals in manufacturing. Maintaining a fully efficient system by optimizing the use of resources and materials is only possible through the digitization of production processes and integration with work centers and machines. We support our clients in improving production performance through our expertise in MES and data-to-machine integration, combined with strong functional and process skills.
Improving Production Processes Visibility
To optimize production and material usage, it is essential to improve visibility between human activities and mechanical processes. We support clients in integrating data from machines and work centers managed by people, designing and implementing customized digital solutions.
Product Variability
In a highly competitive market, an effective make-to-order approach is essential to make each product unique and distinguishable. Our team provides integrated consulting, processes, and technical expertise to help clients develop strategies that meet market demands while maintaining a strong customer focus.
Servitization is a primary enabler of Circular Economy, and surely one of the top strategies for companies who are willing to increase their profitability while being sustainable. As-a-service business models allow the shift from selling a product, to selling the value of that asset to users in need.
We help companies explore this opportunity - from the analysis of their current business models and operations, to the design and actual implementation of new as-a-service models, leveraging digital technologies and our proprietary methodology to activate new revenue streams.
Industry 4.0 is a well-known concept, yet only a few companies have taken action despite seeing its potential value. Digital technologies are completely remodeling industrial production processes, providing greater flexibility, increased productivity and higher quality.
We guide companies in the transition towards their “Future Factories”, starting with people across the enterprise and, only then, focusing on the technologies that could be more helpful to support employees working with complex equipment and processes and ultimately, to do more with less.
People’s lives revolve around interactions – with other people, brands, products and devices. In a world where the line between digital and physical is extremely blurred, organizations must design and deliver meaningful, next-level customer experiences in order to stay relevant and keep growing.
Bringing together a passion for data, design, technology and customers, we help companies model end-to-end experiences in the phygital world, reimagining their Sales, Marketing and Services digital platforms through a human-centered approach.
To achieve real intelligent automation, an enterprise-wide approach is required - which means designing around people and technologies simultaneously.
Leveraging our approach and technological expertise, we help companies build solutions to achieve quality Augmented-Humans at scale, empowering their employees and letting them focus where they can make a real difference.
Your people’s knowledge is an incredible (often underrated) resource to leverage - if guided with the right approach, it’s your own people who will make innovation happen.
We have developed a proprietary methodology to work with both people and technology: let us help you develop and launch MVPs, according to the Learning-by-doing concept, and deploy your innovation in the most effective way
Get your team aligned with the latest technologies, through our interactive workshops! This journey, tailored to your industry and needs, shows real use cases and practical examples about how emerging technologies can represent a competitive advantage for your company.
A perfect first step to start all-around company-wide digital transformation as well as area-specific digitization processes.
