Manufacturers in Europe and Asia are already realizing the advantages of FactoryEye’s unique solution to transform their work processes. SANHA group, a leading global manufacturer of press fit piping systems for water, gas, solar, heating, cooling and sanitary applications, chose FactoryEye as its Industry 4.0 solution to simplify factory floor production, minimize errors across the entire supply chain and improve production visibility.

A dynamic cycle of data collection and analysis allows for continuous improvement and flexibility in the optimization process.
