L'Union des Forgerons, a renowned open-die forging company in France, brings together 140 employees working across production and administration. Active in high-demand sectors such as aerospace, space, nuclear, and defense, the company relies on passing down unique know-how combined with progressive digitalization to meet modern industrial challenges.
Digital at the heart of operational strategy
Faced with increasing client demands for precise operational tracking, L'Union des Forgerons began its digital transformation by implementing KEYPROD. The goal: to gather production data from operators all the way to management via a simple and intuitive interface. Previously, data was collected verbally or on paper, making it difficult to centralize and analyze.
A simple and effective solution for all teams
KEYPROD quickly proved its worth through ease of installation and use. Even operators unfamiliar with digital tools adopted it quickly. The interface enables users to log downtime causes in just a few clicks and access a clear history of machine stoppages, helping improve analysis and implement effective corrective actions.
Positive impact on performance and engagement
Operators using KEYPROD became more engaged: by visualizing their production rate, they began challenging themselves. Communication between workers and supervisors also improved. By identifying time losses, the company optimized tool changes and significantly reduced downtime.
A shared vision for growth
The shared values between L'Union des Forgerons and KEYPROD played a key role in this partnership. Together, they are advancing toward a modern industrial model where tradition and digitalization go hand in hand for improved performance.
