Executive Summary
Implementing and operationalizing a Connected Worker app on the factory floor can be a daunting task for global manufacturers with diverse production sites around the world. Varying operational needs and challenges, combined with limited time and resources and a changing workforce, are a few of the many things to consider when trying to decide whether it's the right time to deploy a Connected Worker app or not.
So we asked Ben Cottrell, Senior Operations Manager at Kerry Group, to share his recent experience implementing Poka in just two weeks using a small and nimble team at a site in Rothschild, WI. The plant is looking to Poka to reduce downtime and increase worker productivity in an effort to keep up with increasing customer demand for its products. So, going live as quickly as possible was essential.
