Project Location: Portugal
Industrial organizations operating under the Just-in-Time (JIT) model require rigorous coordination between the production line and internal logistics. Reliance on manual checks and a lack of real-time visibility increased the risk of component shortages and unplanned downtime.
SIX-FACTOR implemented an Industrial IoT solution that automates production line replenishment alerts, ensuring operational continuity and seamless alignment between production and the warehouse:
-
JIT Automation: Automatic detection of replenishment needs via BLE sensors installed on component racks.
-
Production–Logistics Integration: Real-time communication between the assembly line and the warehouse, featuring automated replenishment request generation.
-
Instant Alerts: Requests displayed on industrial screens, ensuring rapid operator response.
The impact:
-
Over 80% reduction in replenishment lead time.
-
100% fluid production line, fully integrated with logistics.
-
Operational efficiency increased by over 25%.
-
Elimination of manual tasks and reduced risk of downtime.
