With a work environment that manufacturers call “controlled chaos,” communication is vital to improve efficiencies and boost factory performance. Next-generation production monitoring solutions are becoming the communication hub for the factory, providing a host of benefits for boosting employee communications, attracting and hiring new workers, and fostering a positive company culture to help reduce the impact of today’s labor shortages. These include:
- Improving Operations: When management effectively tracks machine and factory utilization and job performance, they better understand whether issues are a shortage of capacity or require process improvements or operator training. And with no operator input, workers aren’t pulled from their normal workflows and factories just run better.
- Assisting with Hiring: When management has the data to quantify factory operations and profitability, it’s easier to pay more for labor – including performance-based bonuses. And, new technologies – especially data and analytics – attract younger workers looking for modern software and systems in the workplace.
- Company Culture: When everyone is on the same page, it creates a culture of communication and teamwork. This type of culture goes a long way to hiring new employees and retaining existing workers, especially among younger individuals.
In this webinar, John Joseph of Datanomix covers the advantages of next-gen production monitoring and how it not only helps with labor shortages, but also in hiring, retaining, and empowering a factory’s workforce, all at a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee.
