Achieving Next-Level Quality With Digital Technology In Manufacturing

By David Butcher

Managing quality documentation  manually, on paper, increases the risk of human errors and decreases the ability to track changes and take corrective action in real time. Even when manufacturers have automated some core operations, such as with a traditional manufacturing execution system (MES), critical production processes are still paper-based or disconnected. 

Using a legacy MES, all production capacity that isn’t automated still has paper-based production records. In fully or partially paper-based manufacturing environments, the production line is an underappreciated opportunity to make quality proactive rather than reactive.

When operators have the digital tools to deliver quality at the source – when quality is embedded in production – every operator, step, and output of the production process is an opportunity to ensure quality and compliance. In this article you'll learn about the proven benefits of our Manufacturing Excellence solution.
