The Challenge
Continental Romania constantly optimizes its operational and production processes to maintain the organization in the first places in the automotive industry. The company invests in state-of-the-art technologies to manufacture sustainable products in the context of climate change affecting the environment and society.
Quartz Matrix’s involvement in combating climate change through digitization has led the Continental Romania company to choose us as a partner in optimizing the operational processes inside the production facilities.
The Solution
The efficiency of the operational processes in the production facilities of Continental Romania began by studying and thoroughly analyzing the customer’s needs. The proposed solution for the optimization of the company’s processes was achieved through the QLEAP platform and the QLEAP KMR (Keep the Machine Running) solution, for equipment performance and maintenance management.
