The implementation of OLSOM’s AGW at Motherson’s Gravataí plant in Brazil represents a significant advancement in our efforts to broaden our impact and support global manufacturers.
Motherson Group, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of automotive components and our valued partner for 6 years, chose AGW to drive efficiency, streamline operations, and achieve real-time visibility into their manufacturing processes.
The AGW system was implemented to address key operational objectives, including:
- The need for a centralized MES system to unify operations.
- Gaps in real-time visibility into production efficiency.
- Manual processes for work instructions, labels, and data synchronization.
- Challenges with scrap management and analytics.
Enhancing Efficiency with AGW Solutions
At its core, AGW MES is designed to empower manufacturing teams with the tools they need to efficiently manage operations and make data-driven decisions. At Motherson’s Gravataí plant, AGW provides the following functionalities to support daily operations:
- Production Scheduling and Changeovers: Ensures production follows the provided schedule, improving efficiency.
-
Streamlined Maintenance and Changeover Execution: Managed through the AGW Workstation to reduce downtime.
- Improved Accessibility of Documents: Work instructions, checklists, and other materials are available near machines to enhance performance and expertise.
