Case Study: ZMicro reduces build time and becomes 95% paperless with NoMuda VisualFactory

Working with NoMuda VisualFactory to manufacture Rugged Computing solutions for the Aerospace and Defence industry

ZMicro, a manufacturer of rugged computing solutions for the aerospace and defence industry, was facing inefficient, manual, and paper-driven manufacturing processes. Their production engineers spent months creating cumbersome work instructions, which made implementing changes difficult and hindered overall operational reactivity.

By implementing the NoMuda VisualFactory Manufacturing Execution System, ZMicro was able to digitize and structure its processes. The solution provided clear, linear work instructions for technicians and offered powerful tools for engineers to manage complex product variations. The results were substantial time savings, including a reduction in work instruction creation time from months to weeks and a drop in product build time from one hour to under twenty minutes. NoMuda VisualFactory also enabled ZMicro to become 95% paperless and provided the data tracking and remote access capabilities required by their customers.
