Next Plus serves is a no-code platform designed to enhance performance in manufacturing, assembly, quality control, and maintenance activities. We focus on addressing key operational challenges such as staff turnover, lengthy setups, downtime, human error, and quality issues.
We prioritize straightforward and practical solutions. By focusing on building our own software category - HOME (Human Operations Management and Execution), we aim to integrate humans seamlessly into digital workflows.
The four cornerstone functionalities that define the Next Plus platform:
-Digital Work Instructions and Workflows: The platform presents users with digital guidelines that are easy to follow, ensuring that employees know precisely what tasks they need to perform.
-Data Collection from Multiple Sources: As users interact with the platform, Next Plus collects data from three primary sources:
Employee-Generated Data: Simply clicking "next" on a task generates a data point.
IIoT-Connected Equipment: Devices and tools around the employee, such as smart test equipment, contribute additional data.
Enterprise Systems Data: The platform can also pull in data from organizational ERP, MES, WMS, PLM, and other enterprise systems.
Built-in Analytical Tools: Managers can use these tools to generate insights from the collected data. This feature's simplicity sets this feature apart; no specialized programming, IT, or BI expertise is required to use these analytics.
- Improvement Tools for Engineering: Based on the data-driven insights, engineering departments can refine work instructions, thereby continually improving operational processes.
The integration of these core 4 functionalities enables a cycle of continuous improvement. The platform shows employees what they need to do, collects real-time data while they're doing it, generates insights from this data, and allows for the creation of improved work instructions. This iterative process helps organizations in manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance to continually improve their operations.
In summary, Next Plus is not merely a digital tool but a holistic ecosystem designed to elevate your organization’s operational performance.
