Sanindusa · Ceramic sanitaryware · Portugal
At Sanindusa's sanitaryware factory in Portugal, the production system runs around the clock. Over the years it had slowed down so much that people on the line were waiting for the terminal. We made it faster without replacing it and without stopping production.
The production system tracks every washbasin and every toilet from casting through drying, glazing and firing to sorting. The whole factory works with it, on touch terminals right at the line.
The system has been in development since 2018, and it slowed down over the years. Confirming a piece left the terminal waiting for seconds, and the defect entry screen downloaded almost 2 MB of data.
You don't make blind changes to a system that runs around the clock. We worked in three steps.
Logging a product defect now moves 97% less data over the network, and model photos download only once. The main database bottleneck with 20 operators working at the same time shrank by 98%.
We also fixed a bug that made entire kiln cars lose their output record. The terminal now verifies each car on the server, and unloading needs an explicit confirmation.
Tell us what's slowing you down today. We'll get back to you within one business day and tell you how we'd approach it.
