Improving production processes, enhancing efficiency, and insuring product quality.

Allied Motion went live with their Next-Gen Andon System from Sage Clarity in December of 2022 and realized a data-supported 10% improvement in response time and issue resolution (MTTR) within a few short months. “Today, whenever our new Andon system alarms, it sends out an email to warehouse and maintenance, and the email makes a sound as it is received on their smart devices. We have confidence that someone is deploying to address the right issue, and it keeps them from wasting time running from place to place,” stated van der Hoeven.

“The successful implementation has enabled us to have the data to identify specific inefficient processes. We now have the data to show the problem areas and execute plans to improve them.”
