Implementing Mobility in Manufacturing. How Mobile Apps Influence the Industry

Manufacturing industry requires a high degree of precision in all operation aspects to increase efficiency and profit. However, it is rather easy to be bogged down into paper-based processes and poor workflow management. Fortunately, modern mobile technology is intended to prevent this and help modern manufacturing. Today manufacturing mobile apps are a strategically important element, which streamlines the workflow and make the company more competitive and efficient. Below we have tried to find out what apps can provide the most benefit for manufacturing sector.

Real-time access and work with data at a smartphone

Most of manufacturing work is done in the field and there is a ton of data that needs to be collected, analyzed, processed, delivered, etc. Until recently fieldwork and data work could not get along together. Mobile manufacturing apps allow employees to hold a whole office in their pockets. All possible work with data is now a process of several clicks at a smartphone anywhere and at any time. Employees can share up-to-date information to make the best and timely decisions. Moreover, modern manufacturing apps give an opportunity to generate the data into complete professional reports.

Instant inspections and constant control

Special inspection apps can help employees inspect products, equipment, workplace and more. They allow users to forget about constant paperwork. Inspectors spend less time filling out convenient mobile forms, which are safely stored on smartphones and are available 24/7. This is a great help in reporting about the compliance to the appropriate standards, safety requirements and more to state authorities.

Efficient inventories in a few minutes

Companies just recently have used hand-held scanners to manage inventories of the products. Modern manufacturing apps offer mobile real-time inventories using just a smartphone. You can find powerful QR and bar code scanners and up-to-date inventory database right in the apps. You can avoid mess, errors and losses, replacing paper-based inventories by powerful manufacturing apps.

Highly organized and agile management

Manufacturing apps also can significantly improve operations management. Work order apps allow managers to assign tasks and track the progress.

What Benefits Employees Are Waiting for from the Construction Apps Most of All

The construction industry is constantly evolving. Most of modern construction professionals have smartphones and use special construction apps for their work. Some of these apps can actually replace the office. Let’s consider what exactly specialists need from modern construction mobile solutions.

The communication bridge and its value for the construction projects

Some time ago, the office was completely disconnected from the construction site. This leads to waste of time for the transfer of the information, delays in work and misinformed decision making. Modern mobile solutions allow all employees to be in constant communication at any location. Construction apps are a perfect way to instantly exchange calculations, information and any kinds of data. Also the speed and the quality of such communication should be especially emphasized. Absence of the lost time and interruptions in workflow directly influences the efficient of the employees and the revenue of the project.

Paper? Not in the construction industry anymore

Modern construction industry has a paper problem. Paperwork is usually the last thing field employees want to do. It takes a lot of time and can be extremely inconvenient. Using paper to collect the data can cost up to 31 times what it originally costs due to things like transfer, printing, copying, postage, storage, etc. Thanks to mobile solutions like mobile forms and construction apps, modern companies can eliminate paper and streamline construction projects. First of all, companies can save hundreds of hours collecting the data. Moreover, it improves accuracy and reduces issues that arise from poor handwriting, untimely transfer, inconsistent data, and information gaps. Mobile apps allow users to collect such data as images and locations. It is also important, that reduction of paper consumption preserves the environment.

Effective management as the way to raise the revenue and safety as the number one priority for construction

Project managers have to cope with so many responsibilities and mobile construction apps can significantly help with their work. Now any construction manager can instantly specify objectives and plans, assign tasks, track the progress of work, maximize the efficiency and more. Moreover, special apps can be actively used in budgeting and some legal issues.

Workplace safety should be the number one priority for any construction company and needs to be integral to a company’s policy. Safety maintenance consists of several activities such as regular inspections and training. Mobile apps can be a perfect assistant in workplace safety maintenance and help avoid injuries and accidents. Read more about safety apps here.
