SmartFactory understands manufacturing. We add intelligence into the manufacturing process to drive continuous improvement, knowledge transfer and data-based decision making. We help companies move away from paper and spreadsheets and guide them digitally through their work processes. We use wireless sensors and cutting-edge IIoT technology to capture, analyse and visualise KPI’s in real-time, so that you can spend more time fixing losses than finding them.

From digital workflows and pick-to-light solutions, to video downtime analysis and digital daily management systems, we drive efficiency through innovation and help bridge the IT/OT convergence in manufacturing.
