Reduce Manufacturing Costs
Through Efficient IT Infrastructure
There’s a good reason why today’s most successful manufacturers are efficiency-driven – some might even say efficiency-obsessed – and we think this is a good thing! The ability to produce high-quality products is only as valuable as the inherent costs of making those products.
The more time that employees spend looking for documents or dealing with confusing training materials while trying to handle complex workflows, the less time they actually spend building great products. This hurts the manufacturer’s bottom line and leads to increased costs across the board.
A great document management system and an efficient managed print infrastructure can help manufacturers take control of infrastructural costs. Visual Edge IT provides manufacturers with customized solutions to reduce manufacturing costs by improving internal and external communication throughout the organization
Visual Edge IT Tools and Expertise Help Reduce Manufacturing Costs
Efficiency-oriented manufacturing executives know the transformative power of great communication. More than ever, the manufacturer’s IT network is a communication network, telling employees what projects to focus on and giving up-to-date reports to management so that they can improve processes even more. Visual Edge IT technology is critical to achieving this goal.
Mobile Print
Mobile print is key to maintaining an effective, mobile workforce. The ability to securely print from a smartphone or tablet computer is critical in situations where not every member or employee may have access to a unique multifunction printer. Mobile print solutions need to maintain benchmark security even when dealing with many different users.
Standard Accounting
Accountants need to have access to the most precise, up-to-date data on manufacturing processes in order to do their jobs. Automated workflows make it easy for accountants to gather the data they are looking for and create comprehensive reports that inform the executive decision-making process.
Easy Translate
Large manufacturers are almost guaranteed to have to deal with multilingual documents. Whether working offshore facilities in other countries or importing and exporting components, the need for clear, document-based communication is constant. Xerox Easy Translate offers on-the-go cloud translation for organizations that need fast, accurate results.
Document Management
Efficient document management helps large industries reduce manufacturing costs indirectly, but significantly. Employees who spend time looking for documents and training materials cannot effectively do their jobs if those materials are not ready at hand. Visual Edge IT solutions can implement highly organized electronic document management for manufacturer databases.
Managed Print Services
Manufacturing IT teams have their hands full checking, verifying, and updating the heavy machinery that directly generates value. There is no need for a manufacturer’s IT team to spend time replacing print consumables or fixing broken printers – these low-impact workflows are ideally suited to Visual Edge IT’s managed print services team.
Security and Compliance
Manufacturing cybersecurity means more than preventing costly ransomware attacks. It also means preventing corporate espionage. Implementing an IT infrastructure solution that protects trade secrets while remaining compliant with all applicable regulations is a job for Visual Edge IT’s highly qualified developers.
Analysis and Reporting
Manufacturing executives need to keep their eyes on print audits and financial reports in order to make sure their businesses remain profitable and sustainable. Visual Edge IT analysis software can make a significant difference towards ensuring that management has access to accurate, up-to-the-minute data on their most critical processes.
Workflow Automation and Application Development
Manufacturing engineers know how important workflow automation is when physically building products. The same is true when building digital databases and reporting on intangible assets. Visual Edge IT developers can automate manufacturing workflow reporting and develop customized applications for our manufacturing partners.
