Case Study: Hydro achieves smarter, faster, and more sustainable manufacturing with RamBase QMS

Hydro cuts shop-floor check time by 40–50% with RamBase

Hydro, a global aluminum and renewable energy company with 32,000 employees, faced industry-wide pressures including rising costs, tighter quality expectations, and the need to prove process control to demanding customers. Their challenges were compounded by inconsistent shift practices, inaccessible work instructions, and manual systems that made evidence of control hard to produce and maintain at scale.

By implementing RamBase QMS, Hydro gained a connected, intuitive knowledge hub that streamlined their workflows. The solution's SOP-WOC functionality alone reduced time spent on structured shop-floor observations by 40-50%. RamBase provided a transparent, scalable standard across all factories, empowering employees to maintain their own procedures and confirming training through digital sign-offs, which strengthened ownership and continuous improvement.
