Rauland Collaborates With Panasonic Connect North America to Increase Factory Productivity with Automation Solutions
Rauland, a leader in the design and delivery of critical communications, workflow and life-safety solutions for healthcare and education, collaborated with Panasonic Connect North America to boost productivity, improve accuracy and implement data-driven solutions for its production of innovative solutions for hospitals and schools worldwide.
As part of an internal growth strategy, Rauland looked to expand its manufacturing capacity by 30% and incorporate a more data-driven approach. The Rauland team also wanted to improve their overall manufacturing productivity, efficiency and controls.
To achieve their goals, Rauland chose Panasonic Connect North America to provide the company with automated manufacturing technology to turn its manufacturing facility – and its workforce – into a data-driven operation. Following a discussion about its team’s day-to-day challenges, such as labor and component shortages, the Panasonic Factory Solutions consulting service integrated Panasonic PanaCIM into Rauland’s existing software and communications. The PanaCIM software applications work to directly meet Rauland’s top objectives of reducing defects, scrap and rework; eliminating wrong part placement; improving process throughout; and reducing change over time.
