A new milestone for KEYPROD
This marks an important step forward for KEYPROD.
We are proud to announce that we have joined the Industrial Fasteners Institute (IFI), a leading organization representing fastener manufacturers across North America and actively contributing to the evolution of industrial standards.
This announcement goes beyond a simple partnership. It reflects KEYPROD’s ambition to establish a long-term presence in the fasteners industry and support its transformation.
Becoming part of a structuring industrial ecosystem
For nearly a century, IFI has supported the fasteners industry—these essential components (screws, bolts, nuts…) at the core of countless production lines.
But its role goes far beyond that of a traditional network.
The institute contributes to:
- shaping industry technical standards
- advancing best practices
- connecting key players across the value chain
Joining IFI means becoming part of an ecosystem where the industrial standards of tomorrow are being built.
We would like to sincerely thank the entire IFI team for their warm welcome, and especially Maggie Mitchell and Preston Boyd for their trust and support.
A field reality: an underleveraged industry
On the ground, one reality remains.
In the fasteners industry, production environments are often:
- aging
- heterogeneous
- poorly connected
As a result:
👉 a large portion of performance remains invisible.
Undetected downtime, micro-stoppages, speed losses… these weak signals, when accumulated, significantly impact OEE.
And yet, these losses are actionable, if you can see them.
Making performance visible, instantly
This is exactly where KEYPROD comes in.
Our plug-and-play production monitoring solution was designed to address a simple but critical challenge: providing visibility without complexity.
In practical terms:
- deployment in minutes, with no IT integration
- compatibility with all types of machines, including legacy equipment
- immediate access to production data
- transformation into real-time KPIs (OEE)
No long projects. No IT dependency. Just actionable data, instantly.
From data to operational impact
Once performance becomes visible, everything changes.
Teams can:
- identify hidden losses
- understand production deviations
- act quickly, where it matters most
👉 And the results are tangible: +10 to 15% OEE per machine
No heavy investment. No complex transformation.
Accelerating our presence in the United States
Joining IFI is part of a broader strategy:
strengthening our presence in North America and getting closer to industrial players.
On the ground, this momentum is driven by Bastien Risi, our US-based representative, whom we thank for his commitment and key role in KEYPROD’s development.
What’s next?
Joining IFI is more than recognition.
It is an opportunity to:
- collaborate with industry leaders
- contribute to the transformation of the fasteners industry
- accelerate the adoption of practical industrial digitalization solutions
But above all, it is another step toward a clear objective: making industrial performance visible, everywhere, instantly.
