Our vision
Improving line performance with digital
A continuous focus on production line performance (OEE) is key for any manufacturing organization. Shopfloor operators should work fast, efficient and cause minimal downtime. In reality, they waste time on non-value adding activities, causing losses.
Direct interaction with other functions like HR, facilities, Marketing and IT is lacking as well. In our vision, everyone should work together on a mobile-enabled, single digital manufacturing platform that breaks down barriers, makes collaboration easy, fast and fun while driving up performance.

FAQs
As a manufacturing organization, can I trust Plat4mation as a solid consulting partner?
We’ve got 7 years of experience digitizing shopfloor shop floor workflow processes across multiple client environments in more than 150 factories around the world (USA, Europe and Asia-Pacific). We consider ourselves a frontrunner in accelerating Operational Excellence journeys. With ServiceNow as our global partner and our own 4Industry product, we know how to achieve operational excellence with digital solutions.
What kind of results have our clients achieved thanks to 4Industry and our consultancy services?
When our customers take the bold step towards shopfloor digitization, our goal is to make their operation flow. Digital shopfloor processes eliminate the need for data inputs on paper, calculations in Excel, manual information handovers and hand-written performance boards. A digital way of working provides instant consolidated insights and reporting. Decisions, from the floor up to management, are based on facts (data) instead of interpretations. Information is shared with just one tap or click, instead of via meetings or paper.
In essence, we remove all waste that comes with siloed information provisioning, unlocking easy and seamless collaboration. Key stakeholders can make the right decisions and continuous improvement is sustainable and scalable to other factories. The end results are substantial, and improvements sustainable. Driving standardization in your way of working with a digital platform leads to impressive line performance improvements.
In numbers:
- 5% productivity increase by removing waste hours from operators and managers
- 3-5% higher and more sustainable line performance (OEE) thanks to better information availability, knowledge sharing and process standardization
- 30% MTTR reduction in 1-2 years’ time thanks to efficient and data-driven RCA and problem-solving processes
