Connected Machines are Critical, but How About a Connected Workforce?

PACK EXPO East Innovation Stage presentation in Philadelphia promises software to harness the power of your people.

There are five dysfunctions for production teams, says Matt Crabtree of Redzone. 

  1. Absence of Trust
  2. Fear of Conflict
  3. Lack of Commitment
  4. Avoidance of Accountability
  5. Inattention to Results

Rather than focusing on connecting machines, Redzone offers a program for small to mid-size food and beverage manufacturers to give a voice to their operators using social media-type engagement like chats.  Basic OEE is the one calculation used, but focus is on cross-functional teams in production, compliance and maintenance  Increased communication leads to problem solving.

We usually pick a major piece of equipment to monitor, says Crabtree, say a filler.   If it’s not running we are not packaging anything.
