Case Study: Northrop Grumman Corporation improves factory floor communication and efficiency with Poppulo

Improving Efficiency & Giving the Factory Floor a Voice at Northrop Grumman

Northrop Grumman Corporation, a global aerospace and defense manufacturer, began a digital transformation project in 2018 at its Space Park facility in Redondo Beach, California. The company wanted to improve communications and productivity on the factory floor, give managers and technicians real-time, data-driven information, and create a modern lobby experience with digital wayfinding across its 110-acre campus.

Northrop Grumman selected Poppulo for lobby and production floor digital signage, including an interactive wayfinding solution, a large lobby screen, and 15 production floor screens. The screens helped managers share environmental and operational data, reduce span time, improve situational awareness, and support quality efforts; the network later grew to 80 screens at Space Park and hundreds across Northrop Grumman facilities, with Poppulo also supporting health and safety and employee communications use cases.
