Visual Management and Industry 4.0
Visual management makes it possible to know in an activity area whether the situation is normal or abnormal. The aim is to quickly visualize the relevant indicators of a department or workshop in order to be able to manage the different activities efficiently.Updating visual management charts requires a lot of data to be constantly updated and a lot of time and energy.
At SESA SYSTEMS, we are convinced that Industry 4.0 represents a must for the company of tomorrow. This is why we have chosen to dedicate a range of products entirely dedicated to digital visual management and to the screens we select for off-road use. Discover all these solutions during our webinars.
Several complementary solutions to integrate the factory of the future
The factory of the future is a clever mix of Internet-connected objects (more generally called IOT, for Internet of Things) and robotics. The innovations are very concrete, from computer-assisted production, to augmented reality, 3D printing or cyber security, the applications are multiple and cover all aspects of the industry. The challenge for companies today is to be able to keep pace with these innovations and integrate them into their processes, whether industrial or managerial. On this last point, Digital Visual Management is more and more popular in companies.
Digital Visual Management, a digital evolution of Visual Management
With the factory of the future and its innovations, visual management in its classic sense seems to be ill-adapted to these new technologies. Digital Visual Management is therefore the digital counterpart of "old-fashioned" visual management. Concretely in companies, these innovations manifest themselves through connected screens and communicating software, capable of synthesizing and displaying different indicators to help decision-making.
How to choose the right screens?
SESAHUB structures and organizes a network of instant and permanent communication and exchange, all meetings are animated with a chain of interactive screens:
How to structure visual management with fast, fluid and reactive indicators?
One of the most important aspects of visual management is the ability to display and manage indicators to facilitate decision making. The indicators to be displayed depend on the sector of your company, but SESA SYSTEMS has developed a platform that allows you to display them all in the same place and in real time: SESAHUB
SESAHUB, a platform dedicated to the collection and dissemination of information in real time
SESAHUB is the latest software innovation from SESA SYSTEMS, it is a universal platform dedicated to the collection of real time information and the dissemination of indicators for digital displays. Perfectly compatible with the connected screens, this platform is composed of 9 modules.
Dashboard
The dashboard module is used to control the indicators. This module provides a simple and visual representation of key performance indicators so that users can make quicker informed decisions based on real-time information.
Documents
As a part of a paperless approach, this module is ideal for facilitating access to the technical documentation (manuals, procedures, diagrams) necessary for product design. The management of technical documentation is linked to good information control in companies.
Meetings
This module is used to quickly share the latest minutes, agenda, schedule and stay up to date with the latest decisions to act quickly and meet the goal. All company reports will be accessible in one place to facilitate your research and better collaboration with team members.
Maintenance
The industrial maintenance module, whose purpose is to ensure the proper functioning of production tools, is a strategic function in companies because it allows the planning of maintenance actions on a machine or an area with detailed descriptions of maintenance.
Project Management
It is an approach aimed at organising the smooth running of a project. Organisation and planning contribute to the strategic management of your company. The project management, associated with SESAHUB, allows you to carry out your project management and to control the risk management with success.
Slideshow
Internal communication messages are numerous and it is sometimes difficult to communicate well on all subjects (events, works councils, internal developments, customer achievements, etc.) with traditional displays. Access to information is simple, intuitive and integrates the life of the company with the construction of reading lists.
Continuous Improvement
Follow-up of suggestions, LEAN 5S sites, TPM etc. in progress. Communication on a LEAN project to all employees has a very specific objective: to develop a culture of operational excellence. All parties involved must be able to situate themselves in relation to the project and identify their contribution to its success. Communicating well about your LEAN projects is a motivating and unifying factor.
Management
Planning (goals and means), organizing (means and methods to achieve objectives), commanding (making decisions and giving directions), coordinating (actions and functions) and controlling (actions carried out and comparing results with objectives) are the actions you can carry out with SESAHUB.
Training
The effectiveness of LEAN approaches and the significant gains resulting from them are attested by many companies. SESAHUB provides 17 rapid training modules (5S, SMED, KAIZEN etc...) to improve the skills of employees in the company. The training modules help to identify possible areas of improvement in your company.
Thanks to all these modules, SESAHUB allows to aggregate all the flows that are exchanged in real time with the production actors. The collection of production chain data on SESAHUB allows to visualize a communication of production monitoring indicators and others in real time. This Digital Visual Management in the production sites is carried out by digital screens connected to an internal or external network.
SESAHUB also means taking advantage of more than 30 years of SESA SYSTEMS' know-how.

Industry 4.0, a glimpse of the factory of tomorrow.
Industry 4.0 represents the set of tools, processes and working methods related to the digitalisation of work. Thanks to technological advances, this digitization is in perpetual evolution and allows today for unprecedented productivity gains, speed of execution and efficiency. This system is already widely implemented in companies as the benefits are so important and provide a competitive advantage. Industry 4.0 is based on a fully connected business: robotic production workshops capable of sending production data in real time and offices or reception areas capable of receiving, displaying and updating information. Thanks to artificial intelligence, all the data is compiled and it is then possible to optimise settings to reduce costs, especially those related to losses, waste and overstock.
