Problem
Discrete manufacturers, especially those with high-mix, low-volume or make-to-order operations, face challenges in production scheduling, leading to long lead times, late deliveries, and excessive work-in-progress (WIP). A lack of real-time visibility and traceability across the shop floor further complicates production management and decision-making.
Solution
24Flow is a modular shop floor management platform designed to empower discrete manufacturers to optimize production scheduling, reduce lead times, and enhance visibility and traceability. By applying Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) principles, 24Flow provides digital tools that enable real-time monitoring of production orders, reduction of work-in-progress, and improved delivery reliability. The platform's Team Cockpit empowers operators with digital team boards at every workstation, providing access to production orders in process, in buffer, or expected. 24Flow leverages a low-code platform for rapid deployment and customization, integrating seamlessly with ERP systems to provide a comprehensive solution for shop floor digitization and automation.
