Problem:
This company has a packaging facility that packages antifreeze, sidewalk salt, windshield washer solvents and other automotive products.
The customer wanted the various lines to see each others team performance and production statistics with strategically placed, live and dynamic displays. Data resided in an Excel spreadsheet and was printed and posted the following day.
Solution:
Data Masters LED Displays were located over each packaging area with data specific to their area of responsibility. One larger LED Display was used as a "central roll-up" board of all of the specific areas.
Data Source:
Their MRP system provides data to an Excel spreadsheet where the Data Masters Software provides the headers and specific display management. The ActiveX Control manages the specific data within the Excel spreadsheet, and then fills in the appropriate area on the displays.
ROI:
Savings were calculated to be over $30,000/year based on team performance improvements through a competitive awareness program. Payback for the displays was less than 3 months.
