Optimisation of the production environment towards digitisation and automation

Together with Flanders Make, coffeeRoots conducted a detailed analysis of their production and information flow to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. By separating storage and production areas, we saw that we could improve product flow, and by implementing track-and-trace systems, we could get more accurate information on stock levels. The analysis also revealed the need for a more suitable data architecture to capture and store data from the production floor. We found that their ERP system was inadequate for their complex business operations.

The results of the analysis and proposed technical solutions were consolidated into a customised digitisation roadmap for coffeeRoots. This roadmap outlined the steps and strategies needed to optimise their production environment and effectively use digital production technologies. The project helped them design a new production environment based on state-of-the-art methodologies and validated the proposed solution using digital models.

The implemented solution proved flexible enough to handle the wide range of products and changing customer requirements. This significantly improved the performance of their production system and ensured scalability and adaptability to meet future market requirements.
