You’ve invested in MES software, optimization tools, connected sensors…
But when leadership asks, "So, what’s the ROI?", the answer often remains vague.
And that’s completely normal. In many factories, the return on investment (ROI) from a digital project is hard to demonstrate, not because results are lacking, but because clear, structured, and shared data is missing.
👉 Here’s how to turn your digitalization efforts into measurable, recognized results.
The Problem: Real gains… But invisible ones
A project may improve production, reduce downtime, or streamline maintenance.
But without accessible, well-shared indicators:
-
Results are seen as “subjective”
-
Before/after comparisons are incomplete
-
Operators and leadership don’t see the same picture
-
You can’t fully showcase the value of your actions
💬 "We clearly made progress, but we didn’t know how to prove it with concrete numbers." Continuous Improvement Manager, Leather Goods Industry
ROI Isn’t a guess, It’s a measurement
To demonstrate the real impact of your projects, you need:
🎯 Reliable KPIs: OEE, downtime rates, actual cycle times, scrap rates
🕒 Time-based comparisons: Before and after deployment
📊 Simple, shareable visualizations
🔍 A way to connect actions to observable effects
And no, it doesn’t require a 12-tab Excel file.
👉 What you need: trustworthy, contextualized data, automatically collected.
KEYPROD : Your ally in making results tangible
With KEYPROD, you can:
-
Track your key KPIs in real-time (OEE, micro-stops, scrap, pace…)
-
Generate automatic reports by time period, machine, or team
-
Compare performance before/after an action plan implementation
-
Easily export data for monthly reports or management reviews
-
Set up dashboards that everyone understands, from shop floor to C-suite
🎯 Result: You measure what actually changed, not what you think might have.
Customer Story: SA2M proves Its progress, with data
At SA2M, improvement projects were multiplying: robotization, FSW welding, high-speed production…
But the teams struggled to justify their results to leadership. OEE was stagnating, and reports remained too general.
" Before implementing KEYPROD, we had losses but no reliable data to quantify them precisely. We knew we could improve, but couldn’t prove it. " Jérôme HOLLEY, Director - SA2M
What they implemented:
-
Deployment of KEYPROD sensors on multiple machines
-
Accurate tracking of downtimes, fast cycles, and cleaning time
-
Automated OEE comparisons over time periods
-
Export to their management tools and presentation to leadership
The results:
-
+30 OEE points in a few months (from 45% to 75%)
-
One machine eliminated while increasing production
-
Improved planning, on-time delivery, and stronger confidence
-
ROI proven: no guesswork
Another Case: Proform, tangible and recognized results
At Proform, KEYPROD implementation reduced format-change-related downtime by 70%.
Thanks to the data, operators identified root causes, acted faster, and clearly communicated results to leadership.
🎯 Again, data made the difference between a positive feeling… and a recognized impact.
What you gain from usable data
-
A shared understanding of KPIs between shop floor and management
-
Visible, justifiable, and valued actions
-
Clear data for reports, steering committees, audits
-
Better change management, thanks to concrete outcomes
-
And of course… visible, defensible, measurable ROI
In short: No ROI without data
It’s not your project that lacks impact, it’s the ability to prove it.
