A smart workforce for smart manufacturing

Product Description

FORMATION provides teams in large workplaces with an interactive map that enables them to work more efficiently and safely. The map is available as an app for mobile devices and as a web-browser solution for your computer. It can be applied for in- & outdoor workplaces.

In large work environments like smart factories or other production & maintenance facilities there are often various teams and departments working at the same time as well as in shifts. This creates information silos. FORMATION provides a complete overview for every team to avoid missing information and mistakes and to enable faster and smoother work processes.
