Technological consultancy for the digitalisation of a company

Enginhum's consultancy service is one of the most outstanding and complete. With this service, the analysis for business improvement is one of the most efficient, obtaining results at all levels. The best way to illustrate this is with two examples of two different jobs.

Production line worker

The following events are detected in the course of their duties:

• Its section suffers stoppages due to a part that needs modification.

• You have a manual (on a sheet) to make configuration changes.

• Configuration changes require too much effort.

• You have the feeling that your direct superior does not have time for them.

Its main functions are:

• Control the correct operation of your line section.

• Take care of the order and cleanliness of your line section.

• Apply configuration changes when indicated.

Proposed technological solutions

3D printing is proposed to modify the part, quickly and effectively. Moreover, in a short period of time, with a design perfectly adapted to your needs and at a fraction of the cost. This is not only a benefit for the worker, but also an economic benefit in the form of savings for the company.

It is proposed to digitise the handbook and make it accessible via NFC or QR code scanning. In addition to text and images, videos and audio can also be included. Another proposal, going a step further, would be to create an interactive digital environment where, by means of augmented vision glasses, the process could be followed as if it were a tutorial.

It is proposed to reduce planning changes by optimising workflows. This often does not depend on production, but on orders or supply needs. Another proposal is to make parts lighter by using 3D printing.

If you go a bit further, this worker may one day, sooner or later, have an extended leave, a holiday or retire. The more digital the whole process is, the easier it will be for the replacement person to do the job properly in a short period of time.

Production manager

The following events are detected in the course of their duties:

• Reads a multitude of emails with superfluous or no information.

• You write several summary emails.

• Your reporting data changes on a daily basis.

• You may spend less time than necessary to solve your team's problems.

Its main functions are:

• Achieve the objectives set by the company.

• Drawing up reports for subsequent analysis by their superiors.

• Coordinate with the rest of the intermediate positions for the correct development of the production process.

Proposed technological solutions

It proposes to invite Copilot, Gemini or a specific AI to meetings via video call, which automatically sends a summary email to all participants at the end of the meeting.

Create alerts using the same AIs to read your mail, filter it and only the important or necessary ones remain to be answered.

It is helped by the same AI to more constantly update the data for your reporting.

With these improvements implemented, both workers have greater time availability, so that both can devote more time to vertical coordination meetings. This solves the last of the problems detected. This also improves the working atmosphere and the personal satisfaction of the employees.

From the company's point of view, the company gains independence from old suppliers through self-supply. With the integration of 3D printing, not only this independence from suppliers is achieved, but also an economic benefit, with average savings of 50%. In addition, the delivery time of spare parts as well as line stoppages are drastically reduced, thus increasing the overall efficiency of the lines.

In general, all workers reduce their operating time, so productivity is increased, therefore, with the same factory machinery and workers. With this increased productivity, manufacturing volumes can be increased and thus the company's profits can be increased.

If we focus on the three pillars of 5.0 technology, they are clearly fulfilled. The resilience of the company comes from being self-sufficient and no longer being so directly dependent on suppliers. Sustainability is enhanced by reducing the carbon footprint of third parties and increasing productivity without a large investment in land, energy, etc. Finally, talent retention and attraction is an index that is improved by integrating these advanced technologies.
