"I would like Big Bear to harness Industry 4.0 technologies to gather maintenance and manufacturing performance data. Data analysis will become the driving force behind operations improvements in the food manufacturing industry, and I want Big Bear to be part of it.”

“Idhammar Systems’ support procedures ensure that improvement adjustments and upgrades made to Idhammar MMS are effectively integrated and reliably supported post implementation. Assuring users are entirely satisfied with the system means that it is utilised to the company’s best advantage.”

“We have seen real sustainable improvements in our assets through reducing the six losses of OEE. One particular asset was running seven days a week and still struggling to meet customer demands. Now it typically does the same volume in four-and-a-half days.”

“We want to be the leanest most responsive manufacturer of our type here, and create the capacity for future new products that are coming on stream.”

“Now when a machine shuts down, an operator has to enter the reason for the stoppage onto the touch-screen before the machine can be restarted, meaning we have shop-floor buy-in plus an accurate record of everything that happens to that machine.”

"Idhammar’s OEE System is a powerful solution that plays an important role in supporting the world-class manufacturing required by Premier Foods."

"On average, on a weekly basis there are just under 4000 tests completed by crews across the service. Since Miquest went live, over 2200 defects have been logged on the system, and 31 of these were Near Misses or RIDDOR incidents."

"We were looking for a system that could help us build a business case to replace machinery when needed. We wanted facts and figures, which could show results of such efforts. Idhammar’s OEE system has been a good solution to our needs."

"Since using Miquest our lost equipment has fallen to just £500 a year due in the main to regular inventories being performed by Station Staff."

“This means the information flows from production to me and then on to the engineers."

"There Are Still Many Valuable Features Of The Software Which We Will Be Using In The Future, But For Now, It Does Everything We Wanted It To And More."

“When working with Idhammar Systems, software migrations and upgrades are smooth. It’s the way system implementations should be - swift and hassle free.”

"It’s genuinely surprising, the losses identified would have been unquantifiable without Idhammar OEE, and with the right training from Lauras, the Improvement team knows exactly what to do to drive the biggest benefits to the site."

“Lauras International’s consultancy has been invaluable; through coaching and developing our internal line managers, we are now equipped to drive through operational changes.”

"Post implementation support from Idhammar’s Help Desk has been very good."
