Everyone knows that maintenance is critical for running a well-oiled machine (almost by definition here). The cost of broken equipment goes beyond just parts and labor, especially when it impacts production throughput. At the same time, equipment maintenance has an associated opportunity cost.

Nearly 900 million people around the world are malnourished. Yet every year we waste 1.6 billion tons of food – fully a third of all the food produced globally. It's estimated to be worth US$1.2 trillion now and may grow to $1.5 trillion by 2030 if nothing is done to stop it. And if that's not scary enough, food waste is deemed responsible for eight percent of global greenhouse gases – the ones that cause global warming. [1] Now, if we tell you that this waste is largely avoidable, and as a supp

When it comes to improving a business’ inventory performance, interrogating the supply chain can be an intimidating prospect. Supply chains are complicated and difficult, and the prospect of change typically provokes a reflexive ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’ response. Businesses see the upfront pain but fail to recognise the profit on the backend.

Mobile data collection can help companies better manage their inventories to eliminate excess. To remain competitive in their respective markets, companies need to constantly reevaluate their business operations to determine if they can do things better or more efficiently. Efficiency in a business means more things can get done in a smaller amount of time – something that will eventually lead to increased productivity and, in the long run, a larger bottom line.
