We set out to gain visibility on that which we thought we saw each day. Before, we reviewed weekly production reports, mainly based on yield and units/labor hour. Issues would take a week or more to be surfaced, and solutions to fix them longer still. Today, we analyze each line in real time at the operator level, and if any metrics are our out of flux, our team can mobilize to fix the issue immediately and change the outcome for the day. This has empowered our teams significantly and unlocked tons of new capacity and lower costs.

• impactful and yet light-weight platform that gave us instant visibility of our 11 lines in 3 facilities. • multilanguage support in-app, native • mobile first - made deployment easy • up and running in 2 weeks • enabled a focus on outcomes, rather than activities • improved communication on the floor • uniquely integrated for quality & maintenance as well as OEE

Not necessarily a knock on the software, but for our legacy multi-generation family manufacturing business, there was a steep learning curve on some of the technical aspects of on-the-floor data collection. Make sure you have a strong IT infrastructure! I would like to see a special access "admin dashboard" that is in a browser and integrations with digital signage features on the cloud

Seeing OEE in real time has helped motivate the employees. The ease of traceability was huge especially during our GSFI audit.

Going Paperless! The ease of use, the traceability aspects, and the functionality of Redzone has been a huge benefit to our company for both quality and production improvements!

Certain features we would like to see, such as sell by date calculations per item or GSFI audit scheme templates would be great improves to one day see on Redzone.

The coaches and the team really care about changing behaviors and culture (particular callouts to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]) and that is commendable. They are always willing to listen on how they can improve the product. We're generally happy with the product, but would prefer it if the system forced employees to perform the correct function. Our employees will miss CCP checks and the system allows for this. We're working through it, but would like more functionality from the system on this.

I like the productivity module's focus on visual real-time feedback

The SPC module is difficult to use effectively and the Compliance module's inability to enforce checks to be completed has been a concern. Also, the Redzone TV's are constantly updating and not working properly. Not sure if this is a Redzone issue, but it's caused us to minimize the use of the TV's.

Wonderful!! Helpful tools, great implementation strategies and ease of communication

[sensitive content hidden] was super helpful in all aspects of implementation

People not using the tool provided until they realize the value in it

We recently just did a kaizen project using redzone and it's very easy to use and able to help us to identify where the problems are and we can easily allocate task the the right people so the matters can be deal with easily.

From an area management point of view. it provides very detailed and accurate data and this helps massively when we are tring to resolve daily issues. The systems helps us to interact with others in real time, a simple high 5 can mean a lot to the team.

i honest can not think of any areas where i dont like the system. i feel with any new system, it just takes time and practice to master the skill and using it daily. so far it's been a very pleasant journey and the system helps us to react to problems very quickly

Our Coach [sensitive content hidden] is extremely knowledgeable about the products, she understands manufacturing environments very well, and she is very responsive when we reach out for help. [sensitive content hidden] did a great job overall of helping us get the most out of the platform and making it fit OUR specific needs, AND she is fun and engaging when leading/training the teams.

The compliance module is a great tool to for paperless documentation of a broad variety of quality information including photos, videos, text, etc. The timing functions ensure on-time execution of quality checks and new checks are relatively easy to build. There is a great variety of structures/formats for the checks so really any task can be documented thoroughly and efficiently. The downtime communication and tracking, problem tracking, and communication tools (huddles, etc) are pretty effective.

Our environment is not a complex, highly automated, highly integrated system. It is fairly simple and therefore the OEE tracking was not very impactful and probably not worth the high cost.

What I like most about Redzone is that it in-powers the front-line workers. I have been involved in 2 Redzone launches, and for both sites, it has made our jobs easier. It helps create a structure for organizations. The culture that Redzone brings to sites about coaching employees and helping them grow professionally is what I most like about Redzone.

One of the cons that I have experienced with Redzone is minor app bugs that quickly get addressed.

it makes our life so much easier, no more paperwork and everything is instanly accessible. i feel good that we are saving so many paper and help saving the earth!

Redzone is easy to use and when i am not on the shopfloor i can still monitor the performance of my line via the apple TV in the office. i am happy to see my performance everyday and i am happy to stay in Green! i find it very easy to enter downtime reasons and its easy to make changes if i made a mistake.

The only thing i dont like is that it's limited to apple device and i only have an android phone so i can't access to Redzone on my phone. the sensor can sometimes give bad readings and we need to ask an engineer to resolve this issue.

We used to manually record machine downtimes. We then had to manually input them into an Excel file to generate daily and weekly downtime reports for our meetings. These were time-consuming tasks, and operators often forgot to input the data, resulting in incorrect data being logged. Redzone helped eliminate all these issues. The actual downtime is tracked by the sensors of the line. When the line stops and starts, the entire downtime is captured, and all we need to do is assign the downtime reason. We can now get more accurate data, and we can generate reports with just one click.

real time data tracking! we can now see the performance of the whole factory from the ipads. The app is very easy to use and we can also manage new users, products, etc very easily from the admin app. We no longer no need to manually recording downtime and Redzone is saving us more time and allow us to focus on reducing downtime.

it was confusing when we first set up. we can have assets, asset type and locations problems. it all made sense when we started using the system and this takes some time to get used to and requires some adjustments to fine tune to our needs.

since using redzone, we reduced a lot of manual downtime recording, the total number of paper on the shopfloor has been reduced and overall the time it takes to do admin task has beed reduced.

the system gives us live data and it's very easy to understand and all departments are now in sync and everyone is talking the same language which is OEE! everyone is happy to see their live performance and we even have a little internal competition

i wish the system can refresh a little faster, at the moment there is about 30 seconds time delay between product going pass sensors and what we see on the tv displays, i wish we had this system sooner.

we saved a lot of manhours from doing administratiive task. such as collecting data and analysing data. Redzone is able to provide quick reviews within the app as well as using the power of cloud data analysis tools such as power BI.

before using redzone, we were doing everything manually, used up many hours of admin work and now redzone is able to provide production data instantly. We have better uses of our time. the system is very easy to use and coaching is great!

It takes some time to used to and learn about the admin app. the initial set up required precise data to be uploaded into the system, during the huddles, it can be pressuring when needed to type a lot of writting in short amount of time. during the huddles/meeting.

before redzone, i used to run around the factory and ask each team leaders on their performance and whats the top downtime at the time. now with Redzone, i can have an overview of all my lines and it provides instant feedback from the production lines. i can easily go the worse performing line and give support to the line leaders, and line leaders find it much easier to report the line managers as all the data are available on the ipad.

i like redzone becuase you can have an overview of whats happening to my production lines, on the condition that people are trained properly and what they are entering is correct information. if they enter bad quality data then we will be seeing bad quality data and therefore make we can loose track easily.however the system is easy enough to use and we can easily identify where the bad data is and give the right training to the right person.

we still need to make sure the line leaders are trained properly on the system and some of our new starter will take extra time to learn the system. The system only support a few language and not all of the languages are supported.

For our shift, we have completed removed paper from the shopfloor, we are only using redzone to record downtime and it's been very easy to use. The system gives us total transparency and makes very easy to find the root cause of our problems.

Redzone give me an overview of the whole shopfloor, sometimes i needed to go away from the warehouse i can still oversee the area and give support where i needed.

i am very happy with the overall system but once 90 day package is completed, it's down to our internal engineers to help upkeep the sensors. these sensors are the key to our success, if they are giving the wrong information we will be back in the dark.

it's a usful tool for data collection and data analycial. it helps to engage people and gives our organisation to have a clear picture of performance. we can easily spot where our losses are. then we can track all the improvement actions with identified ownership of each task. Redzone also helping us to reduction papaer comsumption cost.

i like how redzone can set up triggers for checks. these triggers can be based on a downtime event and it can be programmed automatically and accurately. we know how much we loss with the reasons and this helps us a lot in terms of further improvement.

i really enjoy the redzone training and theres nothing we dont like. the only downside i can think of is my team found some difficulty to use both paper and redzone for recording checks this creates duplicated work for them. but this will be phased out once we fully implement.

We have implemented the productivity and compliance module at 12 of our factories and have had improvements in performance at every plant. With the impact to results and the ability to get employees more involved in the CI process we have been very happy with our selection decision to implement Redzone

The availability to have real time data at the line and to increase the accuracy of our data capture. This has been a foundation to the identification of productivity/waste reduction opportunities. The compliance module has been critical for standardization across all our facilities and has been a foundation of our Food Safety Program. We have had several SQF auditors tell us that we are best in class because of Redzone and our application of the software. The last is the improved communication across the plants, the chat functionality was a surprise that has been critical to the improvement.

I do not have any Cons to share. The software has delivered a lot of value and we continue to learn and expand our utilization.

Initially we started with Productivity software and during the first year, we increased our productivity by 50%! If we don't have Redzone for even an hour, we feel like crippled! I will be calling everybody I know in Redzone to get it fixed, but that happens may be once in 2 years because it hardly goes down and no issue at all! Compliance software - Trust me, Initially there was lot of pushback from QA dept to get this implemented because all of us are used to doing this in a way that suits us! But trust me, after implementation and they started using it, they cannot live without Redzone! Even the QA tech's love this ease of software compared to paper. We are like 95 % paperless and depend everything on Redzone. Lastly but not the least, again Redzone people haven't paid me to say this, Just call Redzone and get it installed! Seriously NO BRAINER!!!! All of you will see the results when your bottomline (EBITDA) keep increasing every year, this is absolute required when everything around us keeps increasing including hourly wages and we cannot increase our customer prices! End of the day, if you don't like it, it's easy to cancel the Redzone! As simple as that! Good Luck Folks.And so far probably I have shown the software to 20 or 25 customers, and almost all of them have signed up for Redzone after our call or plant tour in our facility.

- Ease of use especially for hourly workers including any language speaking employees! Because it's as simple as identifying Red / Green and make a decision. - Software use to drive the productivity. - Great knowledge of Redzone Coaches. - Accessing the history is terrific, especially when we have a BRC audit, lot of auditors were super impressed and even mentioned that every company needs to use the Redzone to make the auditor lie easier too! - Etc etc, because I can keep going and write 2 pages about it.

- Nothing I can think of. - Somebody need to own this and be an expert, it's definitely not like turning on the switch and forgetting about it.

Very easy to implement. We found their team very flexible when we needed the program or scheduling altered to fit our needs. We had several occasions to tap into the whole community of RedZone users and we found that this was one of the great strengths.

As a well established food manufacturer (Confectionary) we had gotten comfortable in our existing habits and processes. RedZone was the perfect tool and program to allow use to leave our comfort zone and dare to be much more. Importantly, it concentrated on educating, informing and empowering the line workers and operators to make better decisions based on the real time data that is displayed to them concerning their own world. Best three things that makes RedZone different from any other system we considered is: 1) Ease and speed of implementation (we didn't believe RZ when they said we would be up and in use in days...it was true), 2) Empowerment of line workers and operators (this is no top down approach - it released the creative and competitive energy dormant on our factory floor) and finally 3) The combination of excellent "real time" data with on target coaching was dynamite!

There wasn't too much that we had a problem with. For a medium sized operation, it is not inexpensive but when we considered our payback and value, it was well worth it.

RedZone has been a great partner and they stand behind and support their products with educated professionals. There team becomes part of your team, if your company buys into the culture.

Help to facilitate a collaborative culture within the facility driving communication between the support functions. Has great ability to incorporate picture and video to task that are needed to be accomplished. Multiple options for task generation frequency. Multiple layers of software available and they are strict in how you roll them out, so you don't take on too much at one time.

Does not completely replace a full CMMS system. Allows some copying of information between areas, but not all of them, so it requires hours of data input to get the system up and going, but this is similar across many software packages that do this.

Not only is Redzone a great communication platform and a voice for everyone, it really allows leadership to see what is happening on the floor and react to problems and issues faster. Redzone is a tremendous tool to allows people to perform their jobs at the high level they need to. Redzone makes life on the production floor much easier and less frustrating.

It is a platform everyone can use and get information. It is up to the individual how much information they want. Anyone who logs in can review and see multiple levels of detail, or they can simply use it as a communication tool. How deep the user gets into the software is up to the individual. Everyone can see this information. It is an open platform and extremely transparent. Also the ability to create and customize checks is very beneficial and a game changer.

The maintenance package is very exciting but not having the ability to track inventory parts and order makes the leadership reluctant to make a decision. We want our maintenance group to have to stay in one system if possible

Redzone has been instrumental in bringing our PKG Department into the digital age. Transitioning our operation to paperless has been spectacular and well-received by the operators. With all the data at our fingertips, we are analyzing and adapting/improving much more quickly than in the past. Our RZ Coaches [sensitive content hidden] were heavily involved with operator training on the PKG Floor. They were very knowledgeable about taking our idea/requirements and getting them into RZ in the easiest/cleanest possible way. Really can't say enough about how much they taught us so that we could ultimately become self-sufficient. About six months in, there's no turning back.

No real downsides to note. I would like for the glitch where newly entered comments in forums or elsewhere aren't seen until refreshed. Whereas the Chats and Forums tabs are self-explanatory as to what content drives the red numerical notifications, I cannot figure out the same for the Activities tab. Despite my best efforts, I always have unseen messages, if you will.

The RedZone implementation team was qualified and very supportive. The system provides all the tools to facilitate and drive improvement. driving and sustaining behavior changes has been and will continue to be our focus across the enterprise.

The software is much more the performance measurement and tracking system. I also provided transparency and accessibility to our Management Operating System (MOS), action to address performance, and bottom to top communication. It was very easy to install and require significantly less investment than other systems we considered.

For large enterprises with multiple plant, the ability to provide reporting at an enterprise roll-up level falls short of requirements.

Thanks to Red zone my company will be paperless and compliance become very easy to do and time saving. Wayne Niblett- our Red Zone coach was great and he gave us lot of support. I also learned a lot from him and I think as a coach he is amazing. With all the tools we have now, we can improve what we do in the factory and develop Red Zone for our needs. It's just a beginning.

Red Zone features are easy to use. The building process was very interesting journey and effects very rewarding.

Copy option wasn't available for all the features also poor visibility of what's been build so far (for triggers).

Has been a key tool in helping us continue our Manufacturing Excellence journey, a journey that has delivered significant cost benefits on our multi-line high volume site.

Redzone has allowed us to step change our operating system and fuel our Manufacturing Excellence initiatives by providing real time data which is reportable in a way that is highly visual, easy to understand and has high utility in terms of driving shop floor performance management systems (SIC, Kaizens, Employee engagement, etc)

Interrogating and customising the data in more complex ways is driven by external reporting software which is a little daunting and non-intuitive.

From a Management perspective, I absolutely love RedZone! I'm able to see live updates on what's transpiring on the floor which then allows me to make adjustments and address issues or concerns in real time. I'm able to be in constant contact with my employees, and it allows them to be constant contact with me. It has also allowed me to track downtime, and create continuous improvement opportunities on the floor which then increases our OEE!!! It was been a great experience, and I look forward to continue to build off the success we have made with RedZone!! I would like to thank the RedZone team for all your support and patience's throughout this journey!!! Great Software and Great People!

RedZone was super user friendly! Creates involvement from everyone within, and builds collaborations from supporting department that were lacking prior. Increases communication and allows associates to reach out for support whenever needed.

I don't see any Cons with the RedZone App. There's nothing I would change or adjust.

We think is a good system that is helping us to know the numbers that we are producing (time, cases quantity, productivity), and to motivate the people when we share the numbers on the TVs.

The software use is so friendly, is too easy to handle, and learn how to use the features. Another thing that we like too much is that we can see the information of each run that we ran (total cases produced, number of people that worked on each order, time to complete the orders).

When we create actions some of them don’t appear when we start the huddles, also sometimes the sensors don’t count properly the cases or bags. "[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] showed us an example of how to fill in redzone the form (PPSC)that we are doing manually at this time, but we never execute it and we think this is a good idea to make more easy and efficient the process" **Comments from our production supervisors***
