Packaging Department Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Raising the bar for Everyone" June 29, 2022 5.0 Overall this software is breath of fresh air in the MES space. The focus on mobility and communication make it more relevant to our current decade than any competitor software I have seen. It allows us as managers to keep an active pulse on the organization in a very fluid manner, allowing us to spend more time on what matters the most - people, process and results. Pros RedZone brings us closer to reality of having one integrated operating system to deliver manufacturing excellence. The ability to communicate instantaneously at all levels of the organization, manage through priority and recognize our people for the great work that happens every day has lifted the culture of the organization to new heights. RedZone has also allowed us to raise the bar in execution for all of us. Democratization of data means everyone is enabled to make the best and most informed decision at all times. Cons Inability to automatically manage shift schedules, lack of depth in reason codes. Review Source wZ wei Z.

June 1, 2023 5.0 We use the software for action tracking, digitising our GMP process and cloud data reporting. Our organisation's communication level has improved, and we save time when looking through reports and past data when we use Redzone.

We love how we can use Redzone to track any actions we find during the audit process and assign them to the correct users. We can easily find and filter by dates, problems and solution within the app as well as Power BI Cons The compliance module takes some time to get used to, and setting up data sheets for the first time can be lengthy. Thanks to the Redzone coach, we can automate some of the processes.

Pros no more paperwork and saved hours of manual work. the data is easily retrived. each failed checks we can design triggers to sent to the correct users so right action can be taken to rectify the issue. Cons it takes a lot of time to set up the paperless checks. we had to prepare for different option list, product specs, data items etc etc. this is a one off process, we can make changes easily at a later stage. Review Source PP Pourichaya P. production line leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Our journey to paperless" November 24, 2023 5.0 we are now running daily production more effectively and we no longer just talking about past data, we are reacting to the data and forward thinking in how to reduce/prevent downtime in the upcoming production. The action management tool is great for action tracking and the whole engagement level of the production team is improved greatly. Pros Redzone is helping us to become paperless. The operators find it very easy to key in data, such as machine downtime and sechdule checks for the production line. we as supervisors, we have full visibility of all the lines and we the quality dashboard helps us to manage by exception. i can easily identify any failed or warning checks and speak understand why it failed and what was actioned. Before using redzone, these practice were very time consuming, in term entering the data and reviewing the data. Cons we need to buy more ipads. We would save lot money if the system can be used via windows or android devices. Review Source aN ain N. halal executive Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone compliance from the Halal food production team" August 2, 2023 5.0 the current paper work, takes extra man hours to process the data in order to analyse. with Redzone checks, they all become digital and they can be easily retrieved during an audit. the data can also be easily access and use data analysis tool like Power BI to generate trends and charts. Pros the productivity of the workers will improve as the quality checks are being monitored, if is a paper check, they can become lazy and only fill in the checks when they like. Redzone make this impossible as checks can be programmed so it doesn't get missed and every missed checks are recorded. the dashboard also very easy to manage, we can see checks from one page and we can easily manage by exception. Cons Some situations are not very practical and we have to change our working habbit to accomdate the system. For example when we count units and enter in paper, we can mark in strokes and give the final value at the end. with Redzone, we can only enter final value, this could lead to potential mistakes. Review Source TI Tamas I. despatch team leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Comment from a despatch team point of view on using Redzone" August 24, 2023 5.0 the level of communication has greatly improved and departments are no longer working in silos and we are all having the same goal, which is to improve OEE and Redzone is giving us that visual. The chats function is really good and being able to take photos and videos is helping us to pass the information to the right person and issues are being resolved much quicker with Redzone! Pros We working in the despatch area where we are separated from the high risk area. having redzone helped us communicate much more effectively. we can immediately see when high risk have a downtime and the reasons and likewise if we have a stoppage, high risk area can also see. we no longer banging and shouting through the glass. Cons high care blaming all the downtime on despatch. However as the data suggest, this is not 100% of the time and it helps us to find the root cause of the problems and both side are working in the same direction. Review Source uD uttam D. team leader Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool and all food production factories should have it!" October 31, 2023 5.0 Before Redzone we use pen and paper to record downtime and after a production run has ended, the data wasn't very accurate. With Redzone, everything is recorded via the sensors and we can understand downtime to the nearest minutes. Team leaders are now account for data accuracy and we are all working the same direction in improving line OEE Pros Redzone tells me how the line is performing and I get to see the data and I can oversea the line downtime reasons. I can then easy react to the data and make adjustments from my team to rectify any problems, Cons On some of the products, the admins who set up the run rate is different from the plan and therefore it would mess up the data showing more than 120% performance which isn't realistic. Review Source sT samuel T. Line leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Honest Redzone experience" August 11, 2023 5.0 before Redzone i would need to spend extra time writing my production data. such as what time i started, how much i make and downtime reason and durations. when the work gets busy, a lot of the information is missed. Now with Redzone, i dont need to worry about any of that, i can easily key in the downtime reason and just stop and start my shift and everything is there. it's saved my time! Pros the system is very easy to use and it only takes a few clicks to start shift and start my production run. i can now see if i am running ahead or running behind on my sechdule and i can report my downtime easily to my manager. Cons because it's fully visible, it means i need to stay on top of my game and if my line is running slow theres no more excuses and kind of adds a little pressure to the job but it also motivates me to run my line better.

Team leader Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Despatch team leader point of view on using Redzone" October 31, 2023 5.0 We can now see the downtime reasons for the production line and both high care and despatch team are working toward improving line OEE instead in of blameing each other. It gets all departments involved and we are all connected. Pros I find the Redzone software very easy to use and it helps us to track downtime easily, we no longer need to use pen and paper. We can make adjustments easily and the data is there easily accessible. Cons Sometim there are spots in the warehouse where I can not receive Wi-Fi signal and sometime the sensors can be mis leading , so the information display isn't correct. Review Source sS saranlak S.

Pros i like how redzone can set up triggers for checks. these triggers can be based on a downtime event and it can be programmed automatically and accurately. we know how much we loss with the reasons and this helps us a lot in terms of further improvement. Cons i really enjoy the redzone training and theres nothing we dont like. the only downside i can think of is my team found some difficulty to use both paper and redzone for recording checks this creates duplicated work for them. but this will be phased out once we fully implement.

Pros we no longer need to rely on people writtting downtime data with pen and peper, we can easily see live data and the data centre in Redzone makes very easy to look past production run or shift reports. Cons we hope to have voice input in the messaging functions and when we first set up the systems it takes some time to understand how the data is related and we had to make many adjustments Review Source NB Nadeeka B.

He is very attentive, patient and answered all questions. Pros The software is a complete package of all compliance in a single location. Compliance and tracking reports is simple and user friendly. Coach was very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend the software to others. Cons The forms don’t have the logical option, which would benefit in some forms. Review Source pT panya T. production supervisor Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone compliance helping us reducing paper usage." November 24, 2023 5.0 we have stacks and stacks of production line paperwork. in the transition of doing redzone compliance, we are reviewing and cleaning up uncessary checks and only keeping what is actually needed. we will be saving so much paper when we go fully paperless. We can retrieve these paper work with a few clicks and we can also react much faster when once we see the data. Pros The compliance module has helped us reduce paper on the production line. we can now easily search for checks, can filter by line, date and production. the data entering process is super easy and we can make sure the operators are doing the checks at the right time and the information they are entering is more accurate. Cons compliance takes long time to learn and master how to create datasheets, if done correctly this will help you track and monitor production line paper work a breeze. Review Source AC Andy C. Director of Continuous Improvement Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Redzone at Golden State Foods" May 20, 2021 5.0 Fantastic - love the coaching approach. Great software that with the right leadership can really unlock huge efficiency gains. Pros Redzone brought a new level of engagement and communication with the core of our business, the Operators who make the product. People finally knew the score and if they were winning or not every shift, every day. We were able to go paperless on our quality checks which removed a lot of waste in our processes. Cons The thing I liked least is the reporting in the software at the area level. Our plant is made up of multiple fillers working together as a system. Reporting at the area had to be done with data outside the software. Review Source Response from QAD May 21, 2021 Thank you for the great review Andy!

Director of Operations Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " RZ will help you understand exactly what is eating your lunch in a manufacturing plant" December 15, 2023 5.0 As a director this is one of the best tool the company provided to me to get the job done. Pros The ability to track downtime and line performance. Cons finding the correct locations for the sensors. Review Source TK Tipparut K. production line leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Real time data tracking and downtime reduction with Redzone!" November 24, 2023 5.0 We used to manually record machine downtimes. We then had to manually input them into an Excel file to generate daily and weekly downtime reports for our meetings. These were time-consuming tasks, and operators often forgot to input the data, resulting in incorrect data being logged. Redzone helped eliminate all these issues. The actual downtime is tracked by the sensors of the line. When the line stops and starts, the entire downtime is captured, and all we need to do is assign the downtime reason. We can now get more accurate data, and we can generate reports with just one click. Pros real time data tracking! we can now see the performance of the whole factory from the ipads. The app is very easy to use and we can also manage new users, products, etc very easily from the admin app. We no longer no need to manually recording downtime and Redzone is saving us more time and allow us to focus on reducing downtime. Cons it was confusing when we first set up. we can have assets, asset type and locations problems. it all made sense when we started using the system and this takes some time to get used to and requires some adjustments to fine tune to our needs.

August 23, 2023 5.0 before redzone, we have to manually write down machine downtime reasons and communicate with other shifts. with Redzone, all the shift information is there and it's much easier and quicker to handover. we just need to make sure the data we enter is correct. i can even look back at historical data to check a specific issue in the past. Pros The system is very easy to use. once we learned how to log on and update my log in. using it every day it is very easy. All the information is available in a a screen. i can see where my top downtime, i can see how fast my line is running and what product i am producing and my progress. The apple TV gives a nice slide on how other areas are performing. Cons it's not avaliable on android devices and i would like to see how line is performing even when i'm not at work. It requires good wifi connection, sometime in my area there are wifi darkspots so i need to move it around to get connected. Review Source lJ lorenzo J.

From the President of the company to the line operator can now directly communicate with each other. Very cool tool! Having tablets in everyone's hands on the floor is great.

March 16, 2022 5.0 The experience is excellent. You can monitor the production situation in the workshop anytime, anywhere, convenient and fast. The integrated action allocation tool is very beneficial to set up and allocate tasks to individuals and is excellent for tracking task status. The admin and upkeep of the software are also effortless to understand and can easily manage without the need to request support. The RedZone support team also works very fast and is responsive when you need their assistance. Pros The data is intuitive, making the production process visualized and real-time, no longer relying on traditional paper reports Complete functions, can improve kanban management; can assist managers in identifying problems and making decisions; High maintainability, can customize unique problem solutions. Cons It may be difficult for operators to get started with the software.

However, the coaching and support package works brilliantly in resolving the issues mentioned above. Review Source iT iulian T. assistant engineer manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The shiny new Redzone system is so easy to use" September 5, 2023 5.0 before we have Redzone, my guys used to fill in on paper records for each machine downtime, they would sometime make up the duration of the stop and put in any downtime reasons, it also requries someone to take the data from paper forms and enter into a computer to do data analysis. with Redzone, we only need to select the downtime reason and the duration is automatically captured. i believe the data is more accurate and we only need to make sure they are entering the right downtime reason. we are saving so much time by using redzone. Pros I find redzone very simple to use, the interface looks very clean and i negative to the right location easily and search historical report very easy, this helps me to understand where the problem is. It helps to promote internal communication. Cons im not very sure about the fact that anyone can start any location, it means someone can go to another location to start and stop a job and they can also go to another location to enter a downtime problem. we need to make sure no one is messing with it.
