Industry 4.0 is at the centre of all professional debates. Today's industry leaders are aware of what a major contribution digitalisation has been for factory traceability and productivity. MES, CMMS, Visual Management...
Companies now have many tools at their disposal to transform the way they manage their operations. However, industrial SMEs (or SMIs) are somewhat left behind by Industry 4.0: the software solutions offered are often too cumbersome to be implemented by a medium-sized company without some level of associated risk in the process.
Well then, how can an SME begin its successful transformation towards Industry 4.0? Let’s find out.
Maintenance, Quality: Odoo, Your Driver To Operational Excellence
In Odoo V13, released in October 2019, reliable manufacturing processes are at the heart of the software's innovations. Among the major advantages Odoo offers SMEs, you can now enter a BOM (bill of materials) directly in Odoo and manage your production by editing the OFs (production orders).
Ensuring Corrective and Preventive Maintenance With Odoo
Improve Quality Control With Odoo
How does one set up quality control processes that are both scalable and efficient? Just like it does with maintenance, Odoo also helps you improve the visibility of your quality control operations. During manufacturing, or at the final inspection stage, you can plan the necessary checks to be carried out, and communicate, in real time, any observations or issues that need to be brought to the attention of your production teams.
PLM, Traceability: Improve Communication Within Your Workshops for Better Responsiveness
A smooth flow of information across your factory’s workshops is a real driver of industrial performance. You know this, and so does Odoo — which is why its modules fit perfectly into this approach.
This is especially true for the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module. A real control tower for your production, Odoo’s PLM brings together all the documents needed to monitor your production on an ergonomic interface. When several teams are involved in following up on a product, data is published directly in the interface. This way, everyone can view and update the documents, with real-time tracking each time a new version of a document is available.
For maintenance, operators and technicians can send checks directly to the maintenance teams through requests made on the load station tablet. When the maintenance team responds to a request, the relevant departments are informed immediately. Odoo’s Kanban view dashboard also adds extra value when it comes to monitoring these operations.
How can Odoo support you in the digital transformation of your SME/SMI? How can you roll out an ERP that will integrate seamlessly with your company’s processes and boost your productivity? Contact us to find out more.
