Digitalization
KanbanBOX digitizes production process information, making your production and replenishment system traceable, measurable, and connected
Integration
Through Internet of Things (IoT) logic, KanbanBOX automatically communicates with machines, ERPs, WMSs, and production systems
Traceability
KanbanBOX automatically tracks data, allowing you to analyze and transform it into strategic and operational insights
Digitalization within everyone’s reach
Unlike in the past, digital transformation is no longer a luxury for large enterprises. It is now a growth opportunity for all companies, including SMEs.
Digitizing production and commercial processes means gaining greater process visibility, production flexibility, and continuous connectivity between people, departments, and suppliers, regardless of company size.
With KanbanBOX, this opportunity becomes concrete and accessible. Thanks to its modular and scalable pricing model, every company can start its digitalization journey gradually, based on current needs, and expand over time, improving productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness without unnecessary costs or large investments.
Automate processes
with an Industry 4.0 approach
Taking up the challenges of the digital revolution that is underway and Industry 4.0, KanbanBOX is equipped with tools and solutions that combine the smart technology of an electronic kanban (e-kanban) with systems to automate the flow of materials.
Thanks to the interconnection of machinery allowed by the IoT, KanbanBOX is able to communicate with the work centres and the various company production resources according to 4.0 logic. The result: higher productivity and higher efficiency.
KanbanBOX natively allows the communication and transmission of information between central and peripheral decision makers, achieved through specific modules such as the Sequencer.
The Sequencer
To support digitalization in an Industry 4.0 context, one of KanbanBOX’s most valued tools is the Sequencer.
The Sequencer simplifies operator work through integrated connectivity and remote machine monitoring, allowing machines to automatically read and execute the assigned work order.
With the Sequencer, you can:
- Collect real-time data
- Monitor events on each individual machine or your entire machine park, configuring notifications and permissions
- Manage complex manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal processing, optimizing laser cutting, punching, or bending machines to produce component sets belonging to multiple work orders.
Thanks to its intuitive programming interface and built-in connectivity, the Sequencer simplifies even the most complex operations, saving time, material, and cost while improving workflow efficiency.
