How INFOhub and Digital Info Kiosks Increase Manufacturing Efficiency

Manufacturing companies today face constant pressure to increase efficiency, productivity, and optimize costs. Effective information sharing, data visualization, and monitoring of key performance indicators across all levels, from management to production workers, play a crucial role in this. Traditional communication methods such as bulletin boards or paper documents are often insufficient in today's environment.

The solution is INFOhub - a modern digital platform built on Ki-Wi Signage technology, specially designed for the needs of manufacturing companies. INFOhub enables visualization of operational data, presentation of important information, and integration with enterprise systems for document collection and sharing. A key component of INFOhub implementation is digital info kiosks distributed throughout production areas.

INFOhub and Digital Info Kiosks in Manufacturing

INFOhub, along with digital info kiosks, represents an effective platform for sharing important real-time information with production employees and simultaneously providing easy access to relevant data directly from operations. Their main uses include:

  1. Presentation of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as production quantities, line efficiency, plan fulfillment, etc., on large displays and info kiosks. This allows workers to monitor the current status and motivates them to perform better.
  2. Displaying key information and tools for employees in multimedia form on interactive info kiosks, which increases clarity and comprehensibility. Specifically, INFOhub and info kiosks offer:
  • Regular employee training: We integrate e-learning systems that enable effective and trackable staff training in work safety, operational procedures, and other important topics.
  • Innovation platform: We implement tools for collecting and managing innovative ideas from employees, inspired by systems used in leading manufacturing companies.
  • Attendance and leave management: For example, a comprehensive solution for attendance records and leave requests, usable in both production and administration.
  • Clear display of production instructions: We create an intuitive interface for accessing production documents (docx, pdf, xlsx) stored in a directory structure, which facilitates the work of operators in production.
  • Meal ordering and menu display: We implement a system for easy browsing of the daily menu and ordering meals, which is one of the most requested features among employees.

3. Interactive access to other information sources or applications for workers directly from the production line through strategically placed info kiosks. 

INFOhub Terminals, Info Kiosks, and Access Points

INFOhub can be implemented through various devices - from large info kiosks with displays up to 24" located at key production points, to smaller compact terminals and access points in the form of durable industrial devices. Info kiosks provide full access to INFOhub and serve as the main interactive points for employees. These devices can be equipped with employee ID card readers, scanners, and cameras for digitizing and sharing documentation. INFOhub easily integrates with attendance systems, warehouse systems, ERP, and other enterprise applications.

Key Benefits of INFOhub for Manufacturing Companies

The deployment of INFOhub brings many benefits to manufacturing companies:

  • Higher efficiency and productivity due to better employee awareness and visualization of key indicators.
  • Improved safety through sharing of current safety instructions, reduction of paper agenda, and better overview of people movement.
  • Digitization and automation of processes along with cost savings on paper documents, their transport, and archiving.
