24 Idhammar Systems Testimonials

"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.”

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

"Idhammar's highly advanced and intelligent maintenance system is an integral part of the successful operation of the Thames Barrier Flood Defences."

“With the Idhammar OEE System I have a handle on the top five production issues at each bakery and know what is being done to resolve them. The OEE system provides consistent, real-time and detailed reporting. It enables the individual Bakery Managers and their teams to drill down, find the underlying problems and quickly address them.”

“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.”

"I thought the CMMS would be really tricky to use and take a while getting used to; however I quickly realised that it’s a very simple, yet powerful system."

"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.”

“We wanted to define what information was important to us."

"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.”

“Using OEE as part of our Operational Excellence Programme is far more than a theoretical exercise. The intelligent functionality of the OEE system highlights losses, drives our improvement agenda and leads to improved effectiveness, a better working environment and savings to the bottom line. Our minimum improvement last year was 14% and our best was 47%, so the system paid for itself in a couple of months.”

"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."
