All responsibilities concerning scheduling were allocated to a single employee. This meant that one man was responsible for keeping production up and running at all times, for ensuring that the required orders were produced and for ensuring that produced goods were delivered on time. This is a heavy burden for any one man to bear. We really needed help, and we chose ROB-EX as our solution to solving the problems.”
EME Hydraulic: An important step toward digitization
ROB-EX was meant to solve our scheduling challenges, provide us with an overview of all orders and contribute to a calmer working day. Today I will say we can’t do without it. It is so important for our customer relations that we are able to say when we will deliver. We can trust the system and avoid inventing things on the hoof. The constant state of alarm we experienced before has by and large vanished with ROB-EX.

Billund Aquaculture: We have reduced the processing time and produce more goods
Digital scheduling has given us the agility and the visuel overview that makes it possible to produce more flexibly.

ODIN Engineering: The visual overview gives us more insights about what happens right now and tomorrow
Before going digital, scheduling was a time-consuming process that took place inside a close circle of planners. It was difficult to share the plans with others as they were opaque and hard to decipher for outsiders. Now, with ROB-EX, scheduling has become transparent and visible to everybody.
GOSH COPENHAGEN: We have seen improved productivity and this earns us respect from everybody
Double work was the standard for the production planners at GOSH COPENHAGEN, the well-known Danish beauty brand. Today, this is history due to the fact that the company now has implemented ROB-EX for production scheduling.
Australian Bodycare: When everybody has the big picture, collaboration gets much better
The plan is shown visually in ROB-EX for everybody in the company to see, and this means that everybody gets the big picture. This is of course important for the decision makers, but it is certainly also very motivating for a production worker to see how his or her task is an important part of the larger system. You understand the importance of what you do, and there’s nothing more inspirational than that.
Knudsen Extrusion: Now we can deliver an order confirmation in 5 minutes
With ROB-EX the planning process at Knudsen Extrusion has become easier, faster and with less friction.
