Observe
Real insights start where the work happens.
Go. See. Understand.
Through on-site walks, focused interviews, and system reviews, we uncover how your operations, IT, and digital vision truly connect, and how well that relates to what is in reality happening on the plant floor. "Go-and-see" is very important in this stage of the process and gives an understanding of reality.
How it works
This is the hands on approach we follow to making Smart Factory Assessments real for you.
Gemba go & see
Our experts will visit your facility to conduct a detailed walkthrough of your operations. By observing processes firsthand and conducting brief, focused interviews with operators, we gain invaluable insights into current practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. This ensures our recommendations are grounded in your plant’s reality.
IT landscape evaluation
In a dedicated session with your IT team, we will assess your existing systems and solutions. This discussion helps us understand the technological infrastructure supporting your operations and identify gaps or opportunities to enhance connectivity, scalability, and data integration.
Strategic vision
We will work with your leadership team to document and align on your strategic objectives. This step ensures that the assessment not only addresses immediate operational needs but also aligns with your long-term digitalization and business goals.
Production system understanding
A detailed analysis of your main production system setup will be conducted to understand how your current processes align with modern smart factory standards. This step highlights areas where data-driven enhancements can streamline production and increase efficiency.
SIRI mapping
In addition, we apply a suite of proven frameworks and tools to help you assess your current digital maturity against your future vision. This analysis forms the theoretical foundation and is mapped with the before hand carried out practical understanding that then shapes a clear, actionable 12-month roadmap, ensuring that AI and digital transformation become a practical, achievable reality for your organization.
Roadmap and output creation & presentation
All collected inputs and materials are analyzed, structured, and transformed into a clear, actionable plan for seamless implementation, and in a speed that fits you as a company and way of doing things.
Envisioned Digital twin visualization
As part of the deliverables, you will gain access to a digital twin of the visited plant(s), capturing firsthand observations, collected insights, and key findings.This digital twin serves as a visual blueprint, illustrating what a data-driven future could look like and provides a clear guide for transformation.
Transform
Translate observations and understanding to making it real.
From Insight to Action
With clear observations and deep understanding, we connect the dots across your operations. The result is a practical roadmap for transitioning to data-driven operations with tailored recommendations, clear priorities, and a transformation pace aligned to your organization’s reality.
