The Challenge
Dantherm was upgrading to a new cloud-based ERP system but faced a critical gap: the new system could not handle their specific day-to-day operational needs.
- Poor visibility and data quality: Paper-based documentation made it impossible to track production in real-time
- Time-consuming paper processes: Complex manufacturing processes still relied on manual paperwork
- No real-time guidance for workers: The ERP system could not provide real-time work instructions or quality checklists to assembly stations
The Solution
Workerbase helped Dantherm bridge the gap between their frontline workers and their ERP system by implementing the Connected Worker Platform as a customization layer.
- 1Integrated production planning: A custom application automatically pulls daily production orders from the ERP system and assigns materials to assembly stations.
- 2Paperless operations: All forms, checklists, and documentation were digitized and made accessible on workstations and mobile devices.
- 3Automated quality control: Digital checkpoints automatically trigger at key assembly stages, ensuring consistent quality with a complete audit trail.
- 4Instant work guidance: Workers scan QR codes on products to instantly pull up work instructions and standard operating procedures from the ERP system.
The Results
Reduced Quality Issues
Digital work instructions and automated quality checks eliminated assembly errors and ensure consistent quality standards.
Improved Traceability and Data Accuracy
Moving from paper to digital allowed real-time monitoring of work progress and more accurate data for decision-making.
Optimized Inventory and Production Flow
Engineering teams now have clear visibility into inventory and production needs, enabling better line balancing and resource planning.
