Case Study: Essilor achieves real-time production monitoring and increased lens output with Dynistics' Active Dashboards

Essilor - Customer Case Study

Essilor, the world’s largest ophthalmic lens manufacturer with over 400 UK staff and a 400-page catalogue of made-to-order lenses, struggled to monitor production, quality, order processing and returns in real time. Key data lived on an AS400 and was exported to Excel for slow pivot-table analysis, leaving managers with only historical snapshots and limited ability to spot trends or react quickly to bottlenecks and service issues.

Dynistics deployed Active Dashboards, integrating directly with Essilor’s AS400 to deliver real-time, visual KPI displays across the business and on production-floor screens. The dashboards simplified reporting (new views can be created in minutes), improved decision-making, increased production and productivity, enhanced customer service and helped meet ISO audit requirements — transforming how teams monitor quality, returns and sales performance.
