Description (French)
Pacefactory développe un logiciel d'analyse vidéo pour l'efficacité de la production manufacturière. Ce logiciel analysera les schémas de travail des personnes et des machines afin d'aider à déterminer les possibilités d'amélioration de l'efficacité de la production. Le concept de travail normalisé a été conçu par Toyota et a été adopté par la plupart des entreprises de fabrication dans leurs équipes d'excellence opérationnelle et d'amélioration continue. Le processus de création et de vérification du travail normalisé est manuel, souvent réalisé à l'aide d'études de temps avec des planchettes à pince, des chronomètres et des modèles de feuilles de calcul. Pacefactory crée un moyen d'automatiser ce processus grâce à l'analyse vidéo.
