Case Study: GKN boosts throughput and flexibility with Workerbase

GKN automates 80% of manual processes with WorkerBase

GKN Powder Metallurgy, a global leader in sintered metal manufacturing, faced challenges in workforce utilization, slow machine changeovers, and information access that caused downtime. To improve operational effectiveness, they partnered with Workerbase to implement its Connected Worker platform, utilizing smart devices and low-code workflow apps.

Workerbase equipped GKN's frontline workers with smartwatches for streamlined data access and digitized key processes like machine changeover with its low-code workflow builder. This solution increased throughput by mitigating downtime and optimizing task delegation, increased flexibility via real-time task assignment, and generated cost savings through leaner production cycles and reduced work-in-progress inventory.
