Neopac has different production lines that are physically apart. Because of this it was very difficult to keep an overview of production and get the right information on which to base decisions to improve production. In order to solve this problem and get the right data in real time they have decided to head to a “production analytics solution”, hiring PackIOT cloud software.
For Neopac, the installation in such a short time was a major advantage for the choice. The company quickly began to receive powerful insights from production.
We follow scrap/quality, time/duration targets, as well as line speed and production rate. With the PackIOT system, we immediately get an overview of these metrics. (by Hans-Jürg Zurfluh, Production Manager at Neopac Switzerland)
In addition to the vital production parameters, Neopac needed some customized reports for its lines. PackIOT’s team of specialists was able to produce custom made dashboards for the company, which has relevant data updated in real time.
We are confident that PackIOT is the right system and the right partner for Neopac. Why are we convinced? Because I think it is uncomplicated, it is fast in response time, we can use tailored/customized solutions that are created exactly in the format we need. We create a good foundation for Neopac.
