Production engineer
As a production engineer, you get your energy from optimizing production processes and solving complex technical challenges on the factory floor. Instead, you spend most of your time behind your screen comparing documents with each other.
Continuous improvement
"If I wanted to spend 80% of my time working in Excel, I would have become an accountant."
Production engineers are the beating heart of a streamlined factory. Through their knowledge and understanding of assembly processes and shop floor flow, they are indispensable in today's factory. However, they spend a large part of their time on repetitive, administrative tasks that come at the expense of job satisfaction. Manually comparing bills of materials in Excel, straightening out inconsistencies in ERP systems, and constantly synchronizing data between different systems are time-consuming and error-prone.
These routine tasks come at the expense of what they were actually trained for: 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.
Deze routine-taken gaan ten koste van waar ze echt voor zijn opgeleid: het implementeren van procesverbeteringen en het oplossen van complexe uitdagingen. Zonder proces-automatisering en data-integratie blijven engineers vastzitten in administratieve rompslomp in plaats van waarde-toevoegende activiteiten.
Baseboard automates the repetitive tasks production engineers currently have to do manually. The system automatically imports bills of materials from various sources and performs intelligent bills of materials comparisons, making differences immediately visible and allowing them to be directly applied to digital work instructions. Through ERP integration, data inconsistencies are automatically detected and corrected, without manual intervention. This gives engineers their time back to focus on real process optimization and implementing improvements that actually impact efficiency and quality.
Not only maintaining existing processes, but also setting up new work instructions happens automatically. With Baseboard's AI feature, an instruction video is automatically converted into a step-by-step, easy-to-understand work instruction that can be immediately deployed on the shop floor. The work instruction can then be enriched with engineering data, tooling, and quality checks.
