In an ever-evolving industrial landscape, performance has become a key success factor for companies looking to stand out. Industry 4.0, with its advancements in digitalization and automation, plays a crucial role in achieving these goals. Among the companies that have successfully leveraged these innovations, Proform stands out as an inspiring example of adaptation and continuous improvement.
Proform: An Industrial Player in Pursuit of Performance
Founded in 1967, Proform specializes in cold tube deformation, producing critical components for demanding sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals, aerospace, and more. Facing increasing productivity demands, the company has embarked on a digital transformation to remain competitive. At the heart of this transition, the KEYPROD solution has played a central role in optimizing its processes.
The Challenges of the Traditional Workshop
👉 aging machines,
👉 manual production tracking using paper-based systems,
👉 and the lack of real-time actionable data.
This setup made it difficult to identify inefficiencies, machine downtime, and bottlenecks, leading to significant productivity losses.
The company knew it needed to transition to a digital model to improve performance, but the available solutions on the market were often expensive, complex to implement, and required significant changes to existing infrastructure.
KEYPROD: A Simple and Effective Solution
It was in this context that Proform turned to KEYPROD. With a non-invasive approach, our solutions quickly enabled the digitalization of the workshop without disrupting production. Using a monitoring system based on vibration analysis, KEYPROD provided Proform with real-time access to data without requiring complex modifications to existing machines.
This digitalization allowed Proform to continuously monitor the performance of its machines and identify specific areas for improvement, such as recurring machine downtime and bottlenecks that were slowing production. By analyzing this data, the company was able to implement effective action plans to boost productivity.
Towards a More Competitive Production
The adoption of KEYPROD not only resulted in better control over data but also sparked a new dynamic within the teams. Operators and technicians, now equipped with digital tools, were able to take a more active role in continuous improvement, further enhancing the company’s overall competitiveness.
With this solution, Proform has taken another step toward the industry of the future, where optimizing machine performance becomes a strategic lever to meet ever-growing production demands.
