Shop floor connectivity was initially about making GloboBake’s production facilities work more efficiently. These systems existed in closed ecosystems and were presided over by very specific sets of expertise. Innovation could happen, but it happened in pockets, siloed from the rest of the business. With the fourth industrial revolution allowing connectivity not just between different bits of equipment, but between entirely different locations and areas of the business, the opportunity to make use of data on an unprecedented level became apparent to the bright minds at GloboBake. With an open and accessible platform that links a digital thread running all the way from ingredient sourcing to customers purchasing baked goods, anyone along that thread can make use of that data. One GloboBake employee, having recently become versed in the ways of Six Sigma, realised now was the perfect time to revolutionise things for the business. They saw potentials for improvement that were being missed out on. Usability Usability gets you from challenge to opportunity fast SHOP FLOOR CONNECTIVITY ACROSS YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN
