CVC
The Client
Clear Vision Cooling (CVC) is a company fabricating commercial refrigeration doors, LEDs, and profiles using their own smart factory. These products are similar to the ones you would find in your local grocery store’s cooling section. The factory is almost completely autonomous and controlled by a dozen self-driving robots.
The Challenge
Currently, a Production Manager (PM) uses an Excel-spreadsheet to plan and arrange the orders for the factory lines. This is cumbersome, slow, non-scalable, and prone to errors. Furthermore, as the factory offers just-in-time products, managing the planning is manual and prone to errors as priorities shift continuously.
The Solution
The goal of the CVC Dashboard is to provide a planning dashboard which gives the Production Manager insight into the current and upcoming factory orders (primary and secondary orders), which they can schedule and adjust in order to make the factory optimally efficient, meet CVC’s customer order needs, and provide an excellent customer experience.
Our Involvement
Digital Conceptualization
Technical Consultancy
UI/UX Design
The CVC Dashboard application helps Production Managers to set up and manage production lines, individual machines, maintenance and schedule operational hours.
Down the line
The CVC Dashboard app is designed to be able to communicate with machines built with Machine Learning technologies. Because the most part of Clear Vision’s machines are automated, it is essential for Production Managers to have a platform on which they can interact with the machines and supervise and steer all automated processes in an efficient way.
Interactivity
With the CVC Dashboard iPad application, users can supervise and adjust specific measurements of the refrigerators produced at the Clear Vision Cooling smart factory. They can adjust, for example, the number of shelves, door orientation, LED and lens type, light colour, cable length, and much more. All these measurements are neatly displayed on the CVC Ipad Dashboard interface, providing for an optimized user experience.
Conclusion
The Smart Factory of Clear Vision Cooling is a perfect example of the successful digital transformation of a business. And with our partnership and the innovative development of the CVC Dashboard application, all automated processes can be managed at any time. This way, the machines do the work, but production managers can still supervise and influence the production processes if needed.
