The product has helped with our production and seems to be user friendly so far. We tried this only at one regional site to see if it works well enough to branch out to the other locations

Harnessing Data for Shopfloor Optimization with VisualFactory

Apr 9, 2025

VisualFactory is a fantastic tool for managing shopfloor operations. Using this software, we have been able to collect data on our production timings and log issues throughout our build. Previously we were using paper to track our products on our production line, but VisualFactory has totally digitalised our shopfloor operations. We now hold digital work instructions, with parts and BOMs linked to each sub assembly, something we only had on paper before. We now digitally log, track and report on issues encountered throughout the build, helping us with root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions. We are now collecting more data than we ever anticipated, and we are using that data to develop insights and learnings. We have used the system for over 7 years now, and we have it pretty well tailored to suit our needs, but it still surprises me how much functionality there is that we haven't fully utilised yet. It's just an incredibly capable piece of software.

Director of Global Quality

Employing VisualFactory for Consistent Quality Across Assemblies Worldwide

Apr 15, 2025

VisualFactory offers excellent features at a reasonable price. It controls our processes and enabled us to move to a paperless factory. We have implemented VisualFactory at sites around the world and can rest easy knowing our assembly and test processes are identical. Process consistency ensures that our product quality is the same regardless of the assembly location. Connecting it to the BOM in our ERP system allows us to simplify the process of building work instructions. Integrating various automation elements reduces reliance on the operator to initiate and monitor processes. The ability to create English language work instructions and have VisualFactory translate to multiple languages makes it easy to support global sites. As a result, we have greatly reduced our operator learning curve and improved their productivity. Finally, the support provided by NoMuda is top notch. The experts at NoMuda were made available whenever we needed them. There were challenges as we integrated automation and implemented VisualFactory at each site but we never felt alone in overcoming them. Downtime on the system has been minimal and the ability to share user licenses across the world has eased IT management. We are thrilled with our purchase!
