SKF is a world leader in designing and manufacturing ball bearings, roller bearings, and plain bearings. The company has manufacturing facilities in over 100 locations worldwide and tens of thousands of distributors and resellers.

Challenge

It is important for SKF to constantly improve and streamline its operations to maintain its position as a leading global player. SKF chose to enlist Binar Solutions’ help to implement several solutions related to lean production.

Solution

Binar has implemented a solution that includes Andon, Visualization, Traceability, and Pick-to-light.

Andon means that you get the opportunity to alarm or stop production as soon as an error is detected.
Visualization means that important key figures are visualized in real time.
Traceability means that there is complete information about each step in a process chain.
Pick-to-Light means systems where lights guide order picking.
