A company specializing in the manufacturing of complex products, characterized by numerous variants, was facing major challenges in traceability and document management. Each part had to be tracked throughout the production process, with strict regulatory requirements and mandatory documentation at every stage. Until then, this tracking relied on paper-based processes (heavy and risky) significantly increasing the probability of errors and non-compliance.

Each step can also be unique depending on the product configuration.

The complexity was compounded by frequent changes during production and the need to integrate components from subcontractors. In addition, tests performed before delivery could lead to the replacement of certain parts outside the standard production cycle, making traceability even more critical.

To address these challenges, the company implemented a digital tracking system, providing instant access to all associated documentation.
Each step is also integrated into the MES application, accessible to operators, who have access to instruction sheets, additional documents, and even video tutorials.

For shopfloor operators, this transformation was a real game-changer:
   • No more searching through files or handling manual validations.
   • Each part and every assembly step come with reliable documentation (instruction, certificates, historical records)

This change led to significantly fewer errors, reduced stress for operators, and gave them more time to focus on delivering high-quality work and driving production forward.

Digitalization transformed daily operations by simplifying workflows, boosting efficiency, and ensuring rigorous compliance with safety and regulatory standards throughout the production floor.

The transformation delivered significant results:
   • A drastic reduction in errors linked to paper documentation.
   • Complete traceability of parts and operations, including off-cycle modifications.
   • Considerable time savings in managing work instructions and regulatory validations.

This digital transformation not only resolved critical traceability and regulatory compliance issues but also empowered the teams with more reliable tools and streamlined workflows.
