Have you ever wondered how much you spent on information systems and equipment that create great reports? What if key elements of these reports were available instantly to the people that really need them? Lean manufacturing and visual factory management represent the next generation of manufacturing. These systems rely on real-time information and feedback regarding the status of the plant to achieve success.

In order to support the key principles of lean manufacturing programs, Electro-Matic has produced a family of Visual Workplace Solutions designed specifically to deliver key lean performance metrics to the people that need them the most. Factory Vision LCD/LED message displays are your performance scoreboards to achieve impressive gains in a lean environment.
