SKF is a world leader in the design and manufacture of 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

In order to maintain their position as a leading, global player, it is important to constantly improve and streamline their operations. SKF chose to enlist the help of Binar Solutions to implement a number of solutions related to lean production.

Solution

Binar has implemented a solution that included 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.
