As the global manufacturing market becomes more competitive, most companies are looking for innovative ways to minimize waste, decrease production times, reduce costs, and increase operational efficiency
while simultaneously improving the quality of the end product – a very tall order. To this end, many companies are embracing enterprise quality management programs such as Lean Six Sigma to help them accomplish their goals.
The purpose of programs like Lean Six Sigma is to identify and eliminate processes that are highly manual, redundant and add little or no value to the end product. In many cases, these processes involve the collection and management of critical information using tools that have been in use since the dawn of the industrial age – clipboards, pens and paper.
The advent and proliferation of wireless networks and mobile computing has finally provided a technology backbone capable of replacing these archaic (yet dependable and portable) tools while improving productivity, reducing errors and ensuring compliance with standard operating procedures – attributes not typically associated with paper-based systems.
MODA, an acronym for "Mobile Data Acquisition", helps companies eliminate non-value added paper-based data collection and management activities with mobile computing solutions. Our solutions are comprehensive – we provide the hardware, software and implementation services required to get into production quickly, allowing time and resources to be directed toward higher value initiatives and accelerating the path to operational excellence.
