Motion-Mining® - The Future of Process Analysis
Five million euros in growth capital for Dortmund-based MotionMiners GmbH
Since last week, MotionMiners GmbH and PwC Germany have been going their separate ways in the field of Industrial IoT (IoT, Internet of Things). The auditing and consulting firm PwC Germany is participating as lead investor with a minority share in the Series A financing round through its investment company PwC Holdings Germany GmbH. In total, more than five million euros in growth capital will flow into MotionMiners GmbH, which is headquartered in Dortmund.
High cost pressure and the ongoing shortage of skilled workers are just two of the many reasons that are currently driving companies to optimize their processes. In many companies, production and logistics planners are therefore trying harder than usual to conserve production materials and scarce human resources. It is also a question of shortening throughput times and reducing downtimes. However, existing data from warehouse management systems (WMS), enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) or warehouse management systems are often not sufficient to identify inefficiencies within the processes. As a result, optimization potentials remain largely undiscovered.
Motion Mining® makes it possible for the first time to map the movements of people within processes. In addition to efficiency potential, process managers also gain a picture of ergonomic workflows and can change them for the better.
