Production engineer
As a production engineer, you get a kick out of optimising production processes and solving complex technical challenges in a factory. Instead, you spend most of your time behind your screen comparing documents.
Continuous improvement
‘If I had wanted to spend 80% of my time working with Excel, I would have become an accountant.’
Production engineers are the beating heart of a streamlined factory. Thanks to their knowledge and insight into assembly processes and workflow on the shop floor, they are indispensable in today's factories. However, they spend a large part of their time on repetitive, administrative tasks that detract from their job satisfaction. Manually comparing parts lists in Excel, correcting inconsistencies in ERP systems, and constantly synchronising data between different systems are time-consuming and error-prone.
These routine tasks take away from what they were really trained to do: implementing process improvements and solving complex challenges. Without process automation and data integration, engineers remain stuck in administrative red tape instead of value-adding activities.
Baseboard automates the repetitive tasks that production engineers currently have to perform manually. The system automatically imports bills of materials from various sources and performs intelligent bill of materials comparisons, immediately highlighting any discrepancies and allowing them to be incorporated directly into digital work instructions. Through ERP integration, data inconsistencies are automatically detected and corrected without manual intervention. This frees up engineers' time to focus on real process optimisation and implementing improvements that have a real impact on efficiency and quality.
Not only is the maintenance of existing processes automated, but so is the creation of new work instructions. Baseboard's AI function automatically converts an instructional video into step-by-step, easy-to-understand work instructions that can be used immediately on the work floor. The work instructions can then be enriched with engineering data, tooling and quality checks.
