Engage — ERP workflows

Let the operators work, not get lost in clicks.

Background

Efficiency is important. That’s why we have been working on a solution that will simplify processes and provide operators with an intuitive workspace that eliminates all the unnecessary and streamlines the workflow.

This is what you get in Engage – which we at Ignos have developed in close collaboration with Framo. They had a need to improve the everyday life of the operators. With Engage, they have managed to create a better workflow, and the operators work more efficiently with the new tool.

Challenge

  • Operators spend a lot of time in the ERP system​
  • Many clicks​
  • Many ways to do the same thing (inconsistency)​
  • Easy to make mistakes​
  • Hard to determine if a job is ready to start​
  • Unclear, difficult to follow and over-complex user interfaces

Solution

Simple and up-to-date work surface for the operator that includes:

  • Production schedule​
  • Start / stop operation​
  • Production work order details page​
  • Material picking​
  • Search for production work order
  • Links to external systems

Value

  • Significant time reducing used for operators ​
  • A simple, unified solution that displays information from various software systems in a single work surface, including, CNC program status, drawing status, past deviations, and comments from previous operations.​
  • Standardize processes across various locations.
