Case Study: Global Reliable Energy Products Manufacturing Company achieves paperless, real-time powder tracking with Inpixon's INTRANAV

Paperless Factory Dynamic Workflows Optimize Material Flow of High-Value Powder for Additive Manufacturing

Global Reliable Energy Products Manufacturing Company, a global leader operating in more than 90 countries with 90,000 employees, needed a better way to manage the movement and quality control of a high-value powder used in additive manufacturing. Its paper-based tracking process was slow, error-prone, and unable to provide real-time visibility across multiple zones and buildings, making it difficult to spot delays, process deviations, and access-control issues quickly. The company turned to Inpixon and its INTRANAV smart factory solution to digitize production monitoring and improve material flow visibility.

Inpixon implemented an RTLS-based solution with real-time location tracking, geofence-driven workflows, analytics, and dynamic E-Ink displays connected to MES and SAP systems. This enabled automatic batch and status updates, alerts for process deviations or incorrect zone placement, and paperless handling across the production flow. The result was 100% paperless production, better workflow reliability, faster intervention on issues, and improved resource utilization, with detailed dwell-time and throughput analytics available for ongoing optimization.
