Digitalising industrial processes to improve quality and productivity

At the Saint-Gobain plant in Avilés (Spain), teams have undertaken an initiative to digitalise their operational processes to improve activity tracking, productivity, and quality across their production lines.

Laura Toral, Continuous Improvement Manager at Saint-Gobain Glass, shares her experience using the BlueKanGo platform and explains how this tool now allows them to centralize information across various departments and optimize operations management.

We have installed several digital dashboards along our production lines to access all the records generated by our operators when they complete digital checklists using a tablet.

BACKGROUND

  • A large number of process tracking activities (safety, quality, incident reporting, and checklists) were still being managed using paper-based systems or disjointed tools.
  • Teams spent a significant amount of time collecting, re-processing, and consolidating data, which limited productivity and the value-add of their analyses.
  • The plant wanted to improve cross-functional processes and digitalise production line management without being restricted by user caps or overly rigid software.

SOLUTIONS

  • Deployment of BlueKanGo as a central platform to consolidate data related to safety, quality, and line productivity.
  • Implementation of tablet-based digital checklists, allowing operators to log shop-floor data directly.
  • Installation of digital dashboards on production lines to facilitate data access and analyze events during daily meetings.

The 3 main benefits of BlueKanGo for Saint-Gobain Glass

  • Time optimization and reduction of non-value-added tasks

    Digital checklists and centralized dashboards reduce the time spent on manual data collection and processing.

  • Centralization and information accessibility via line-side screens

    Digital dashboards installed throughout the plant facilitate immediate access to all safety, quality, productivity, and reliability data. Crucially, they enable seamless shift handovers between day and night teams.

  • Improved collaboration and coordination between teams

    By working with a shared tool visible on screens, operators, team leaders, and line managers can collaboratively analyze line events and make quick, consistent decisions.
