SMART TECHNOLOGY BOOSTS PRODUCTIVITY OF BATTERY COMPANY

KFactory assisted ROMBAT in digitizing its production lines. Smart technology boosts productivity of battery company.

WITH KFACTORY®

TECHNOLOGY,

ROMBAT CAN

NOW MONITOR

THE CAUSES

OF DECREASED

OPERATIONAL

EFFICIENCY

ROMBAT can now track the causes

of decreased operating efficiency

thanks to KFactory® technology.

What does this mean? Employees at

ROMBAT can determine the caus-

es and the frequency of unplanned

shutdowns if they see that there are

too many of them.

„The data we now get is accurate

real-time data, allowing us to eval-

uate various operators in real-time

and, after implementing the second

line, to assess their productivity in

real-time. We can decrease some

factors that have an influence on

our operational effectiveness, we

can spot factors that have a neg-

ative effect, we can cut downtime,

and we can boost operational

effectiveness.”

technology.

How did things work in the past?

“We kept an eye on these metrics

and had KPIs in this area, but the

data was manually entered into

the ERP system. As a result, the

system gave us access to this

information, however it wasn’t

recent. Additionally, there was

data that implied some degree

of flexibility “Alin Ioaneş adds.

When data is gathered by the

human component, this flexibility

is a given.

Alin Ioaneș adds, “We can go to

the source of the problem and

prove it when we find that there is

a high frequency of a cause.

As a result, the line moves more

quickly, boosting output and

income as well. If breaks occur

at irregular intervals and the line

cadence is at the intended level,

ROMBAT can also track breaks

extremely well. When compared

to how it was previously col-

lected—either manually or via

the use of other systems—the

How the KFactory system was

implemented

Alin Ioaneș mentions that it’s

critical for the business to

respond quickly to whatever

occurs owing to or because of the

complexity of the sector in which

it works.

“Real-time information regarding

our production facilities is crucial

for this reason. We evaluated

some of the market-current

solutions and decided to work

together, first on a trial program,

and then we expanded it with

our colleagues from KFactory®

“Ioaneș reveals.

The initial application happened

on a battery manufacturing line

for significant automakers where

ROMBAT is a recognized suppli-

er. The business can now make

choices quickly and has access to

intervention may now be made

quickly. Additionally, compari-

sons across several production

lines can be done to optimize

production in general.

Additionally, if staff members are

aware that monitoring delivers

correct data, technology can en-

courage greater accountability.

He says that KFactory®’s in-

terface is user-friendly, which

is crucial so that you don’t get

bogged down in the finer points.

“With no considerable time

commitment or expensive capital

needed, it is quite simple to exe-

cute. We don’t have to work very

hard to offer a remarkable infra-

structure, “Alin Ioaneş remarks.

“We currently have infrastructure

that can link to this system for

our production lines. Working

with people from KFactory® and

interacting with them is quite

simple” the Rombat representa-

tive says.
