With GE Vernova's MES, it is finally possible to connect the shop floor with real-time KPIs and make much faster, more accurate decisions. Operational visibility has improved significantly, especially in production monitoring, traceability, and downtime management. In addition, the interface is intuitive and greatly facilitated adoption by the operations team. Another strong point was the flexibility of the solution to adapt to our process without compromising performance. Today we have much greater confidence in our data and a far more solid foundation for continuous improvement and digital maturity initiatives.

The support team has been a pleasure to work with having extensive knowledge of Visualfactory and how to configure it. Their ability to quickly understand my requirements and develop a solution for them is hugely helpful to our company's goals and implementation of VisualFactory throughout our production floor. Additionally, NoMuda's support team is very responsive and helpful in resolving tickets that are raised in a timely fashion. The only issue I have experienced with VisualFactory is that updates to the version can on a rare occasion break pipelines that have been created which has not been a serious issue since their Support Team is very responsive quickly addressing these issues.
