From machinery to batch: making production traceable, one data point
at a time.

Aspotec made its production operations more visible, traceable, and reliable by connecting machines, materials, orders, and operators in real time.

MOULDING

MANUFACTURING

Connected assets

Quindi connects legacy machinery and digitally enabled assets, bringing machine status, production times, output, and consumption data into a single information flow.

Production Traceability

Raw materials, production batches, and operators are now linked to each process, making it possible to trace what is used, what is produced, and who performs each operation.

Reliable Real-Time Data

Production progress becomes visible and continuously updated, reducing manual checks and providing dashboards, KPIs, and the ERP with more reliable data.

Context

Aspotec designs and manufactures cold-stamped sheet metal components, managing custom production orders that require technical precision, process control, and close coordination between materials, machinery, and production stages.

In an environment defined by different production runs, batches that must be traced, and assets at varying levels of digital maturity, data quality becomes an integral part of production quality.

Challenge

Bringing data quality up to the same standard as production standards.

Every Aspotec order is driven by specific requirements: drawings, materials, tolerances, batches, machines, and processes must all work together with precision. Production must handle different run sizes while maintaining consistent standards, even as volumes, priorities, and operating configurations change.

To manage this level of variability, Aspotec needed a system that could go beyond basic data collection. It needed real-time visibility into what was happening during production, connecting machines, materials, orders, and operators without burdening shop-floor teams with manual data entry or disruptive procedures.

The previous system could no longer provide the required level of reliability.
Some information was only partially available, certain machines were not fully connected, and production progress still required manual verification.

Aspotec chose Quindi to make production data reliable, continuous, and actionable, collecting it in a way that fits naturally into day-to-day shop-floor operations. This created a solid foundation for batch traceability, production progress tracking, ERP integration, and operational KPIs based on what was actually happening in production.

Quindi Approach

How Quindi makes every stage of a production order traceable

Quindi was introduced into Aspotec’s production processes through a phased approach: first by connecting the machines, then by implementing RFID tracking for raw materials and operators.

The next steps involved integrating the system with the ERP and creating operational views to monitor production, consumption, timing, and progress.

A Complete View of All Production Equipment

Aspotec can now extend production visibility to machinery that was not previously fully connected. New and legacy assets feed into the same information flow, making it easier to monitor machine status, production times, output, and progress.

Materials, Orders, and Operators. One Process, End-to-End Traceability.

The second phase introduced RFID into raw material management. Through one simple action, the operator associates the material with the relevant production batch: the material is identified, linked to the batch record, and made visible within the system. This allows Aspotec to know exactly which raw material is being used for each batch and track its consumption as production progresses.

Reliable Production Progress Tracking

Quindi collects data directly from the machines, links it to the operation in progress, and makes it available for dashboards, analysis, and ERP updates. Aspotec can therefore see what has been completed, which materials were used, where and when the work was performed, and how far the order has progressed - all in real time.

Real-Time Shop Floor-to-ERP Integration

By combining machine, ERP, and RFID data, Quindi reconstructs lead times, working times, estimated setup times, stops, idle periods, errors, and the causes of downtime. Production can therefore be analyzed stage by stage. This creates a direct, real-time connection between the shop floor and the ERP.

Results

A clearer view of production, step by step.

Greater Production Visibility

Aspotec can monitor machine status, production times, and progress across legacy equipment as well.

Tracked Materials, Orders, and Operators

RFID connects the key variables across the production process.

More Reliable Production Tracking

Fewer manual checks and data that more accurately reflects actual shop-floor conditions.

More Accurate Data for the ERP

The ERP is updated with data collected directly from production operations.

Easier KPI and Cost Analysis

Up-to-date data makes production performance and costs easier and immediate to analyze.
