Case Study: Werner Machine achieves paperless manufacturing and 40% productivity growth with StartProto

How Werner Machine Went Paperless With StartProto

Werner Machine, a CNC job shop, faced significant operational inefficiencies due to a reliance on paper documentation and a lack of communication between departments. Finding past job files was slow and created bottlenecks, as critical program knowledge was held by a single individual, forcing the team to wait and slowing down their entire manufacturing process.

StartProto implemented its manufacturing ERP software to centralize all job information, documentation, and communication into a single, cloud-based platform. This solution provided Werner Machine with easy, global access to past job data, which slashed their job setup times by 95% and led to a 40% increase in productivity. The transition to a paperless system, tracked over 7,000 hours of work, eliminated previous bottlenecks and allowed the company to operate with much greater efficiency and scalability.
