Problem
Many manufacturing companies face challenges in accurately tracking production processes due to reliance on manual data collection, leading to errors and delays in identifying inefficiencies. This results in wasted time, bottlenecks, and reduced overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Solution
Kanri provides a real-time production management platform that leverages IoT technology to automate data collection directly from machines and operators. By eliminating manual reporting, the system ensures accurate, up-to-the-minute visibility into production processes. Kanri identifies bottlenecks, monitors production flow, and provides alerts for anomalies, enabling managers and operators to react quickly to emerging issues. The platform offers role-specific dashboards for production managers, supervisors, and operators, providing each with the tools they need to optimize their work.
Target Audience
Kanri is designed for manufacturing companies seeking to improve production efficiency, reduce waste, and gain real-time visibility into their operations, targeting production managers, supervisors, and machine operators.
