OnTop is a web based production system that plans assembly in real time. The system has given Log Max a clearer and more efficient production flow through improved planning and a quick overview of the entire order process.
The Assembly Conference, which is run by RISE, brings together companies, organizations, researchers and institutes each year to strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish industry within assembly. During the conference, the Swedish Assembly Award is presented to individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to the development of assembly processes.
The jury’s motivation:
“Per Johnsen and Fredrik Fröst, as supplier and customer, have developed an IT system aimed at improving efficiency in assembly. All assemblers continuously record their work, and every night this data is used to update assembly times and provide information for planning. The system connects all functions within the company, and confirmed delivery times can now be met. The system demonstrates that continuous data collection from assembly can stabilize the company’s planning and delivery capability, even when the market is volatile. The use of the system has led to increased employee engagement, a better overall perspective within the company, and a significant improvement in productivity. The system is modular in design, and new modules have been introduced over time. The development work shows that even smaller companies can create competitiveness by giving employees access to advanced yet easy-to-use tools. The joint work of Per Johnsen and Fredrik Fröst serves as a model for Swedish industry.”
