The manufacturing landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by Industry 4.0 principles that merge the physical and digital worlds. The LeanFactory service line from attaché x® Digital is dedicated to guiding manufacturers through this evolution, helping them build smarter, more connected, efficient, and resilient production environments. We combine deep expertise in lean manufacturing principles with cutting-edge digital technologies – from IoT and AI to digital twins and blockchain – enabling optimised operations, enhanced product quality, and innovative product lifecycle management.
Our approach begins with strategy. We help define your Industry 4.0 Strategy & Roadmap, creating a clear plan for adopting smart manufacturing technologies tailored to your specific goals and challenges. This leads into Smart Factory Implementation, where we deploy key enabling technologies. We implement Factory IoT & Sensor Implementation for real-time data acquisition, set up advanced Production Line Monitoring Systems, and integrate or optimise Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). We leverage AI-driven Production Quality Control & Predictive Maintenance algorithms to minimise defects and downtime, and provide Factory Automation & Robotics Consulting to identify and implement automation opportunities effectively.
A cornerstone of modern manufacturing is the integration of digital identity and traceability. Under Digital Product & Platform Implementation, we specialise in OwnerLock & Digital Product Passport (DPP) Implementation. This includes the technical setup, activation, and crucial platform integration into production lines and supply chains, along with user onboarding and training. This capability is often underpinned by our Blockchain Technology Implementation & Consulting services, ensuring secure and immutable data trails where required. We also provide general Technology Tools Onboarding & Implementation Support for various factory-specific software.
Innovation extends to the product itself. Our Prototyping & Design services include Digital Prototyping of Physical Products, allowing for rapid iteration and validation before physical production begins. Understanding and leveraging data is critical; our Manufacturing Data & Analytics services focus on Manufacturing Data Strategy & Architecture and delivering Operational Intelligence & Performance Analytics directly from factory data. We enable advanced insights through Digital Twin & Simulation, facilitating Process Simulation & Optimisation and the Digital Twin Implementation for Products & Processes.
Seamless operation requires robust integration and security. Our Factory Systems Integration expertise covers linking OT/IT Systems (ERP, PLM, MES) and integrating specific technologies like OwnerLock/DPP. We advise on leveraging Cloud for Manufacturing platforms and address the critical need for Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity. Finally, underpinning all technology is our Lean Manufacturing Consulting, ensuring that digital tools are implemented within a framework of continuous improvement and waste reduction. LeanFactory empowers manufacturers to embrace the future of production with confidence and intelligence.
