What are the challenges in production?

An Italian SME, specialized in manufacturing metal products for the furniture industry, faced difficulties in understanding its production performance on a daily and especially monthly basis.
The main need was a production monitoring solution that would digitalize every phase, including activities carried out at manual factory workstations, to improve scheduling and reduce downtime.

Main challenges:

• Difficulty in understanding daily and monthly production trends.
• Need to automate data collection from machines and manual stations.
• Lack of integration with existing management systems.
• Use of paper sheets and Excel to track activities and downtime.
• Absence of structured root cause analysis for machine downtime.

The lack of integration between data, machines, and manual stations represents a concrete obstacle to production optimization, inevitably causing delays, operational inefficiencies, and inaccurate analyses.

How was the problem solved? With the Zerynth Platform

Zerynth enabled the company to implement a complete, scalable, and immediately operational production monitoring solution.

Gradual and seamless integration

The solution was progressively implemented, integrating with existing management systems without requiring modifications or affecting daily activities. Operators were able to adopt the system easily, without complex training or changes in work habits.

Thanks to an intuitive HMI interface, operations are started, stopped, and monitored directly on the machine with a few taps, eliminating the need for manual inputs at the end of shifts. Zerynth’s KPI dashboard offers a clear overview of downtime, categorizing stoppages by main causes and providing the tools necessary to optimize production.

In summary, the Zerynth platform enables:

• Starting/stopping activities directly from the HMI.
• Performing historical analysis of machine downtime.
• Real-time monitoring of production KPIs.
• Significant reduction of human error and increased accuracy in data collection.
