Redzone

Pros: We have seen improved communication between all departments and at all levels of our organization. Our Redzone coach was invaluable during the initial Productivity module rollout and as we added the Quality and Reliability Modules. Throughout our time with Redzone he has been a great resource any time we need help configuring a data sheet, training operators on the basics of how to use Redzone, walking our middle and upper management team through how to look at the data we are getting from Redzone and make informed decisions, and many other situations. We have eliminated forests of paperwork from our process and made many of our Quality and Operator checks and processes much more efficient.

Cons: The chat features are fine for Operator level employees but almost all other employees prefer to use Teams. Creating new centerlines and data sheets can be a bit of a slog at times.

Pros: The RedZone community is helpful, engaging, and constantly bettering itself. Not only do they connect customers for great advice, but their team is always engaged in communicating initiatives.

Cons: I have nothing to complain about. Our implementation went well and I am always able to get online help/coaching when needed.

Pros: What I enjoyed most was that Redzone is very user friendly and can be used for advanced analytics, team collaboration, and report management. This is very beneficial in new employees, learning their position, all the way to senior leaders looking for trends.

Cons: What I liked least about Redzone was not having a detailed lesson plan to be trained on. The representatives were great and know the platform, inside and out, but the training was all hands on and per user. I would have liked a classroom setting first and then hands on.

Pros: Before we had Redzone, we could only track OEE every 24 hours, which meant we couldn't monitor it on a shift-by-shift basis. Now, with Redzone, we are able to view our OEE for each shift. This allows us to keep a closer eye on machine downtime, and our team members can access live data. As a result, they are able to respond to the scores in real time, make necessary adjustments, and work towards improving line efficiency.

Cons: It's important that operators enter accurate data, because if incorrect information is provided, the results will also be unreliable. Additionally, we've noticed that huddles occur a bit too often in the mornings, especially since we already have daily meetings along with our regular huddles.

Pros: I can now monitor the production run at any time without needing to call ground staff. The system offers clear metrics and makes it easy for everyone to understand OEE. Now, the team knows what changes they can make to immediately impact the line's OEE. Frontline operators are able to take pictures and highlight any issues, and they can raise actions that are highly visible to everyone. This way, we all stay informed about what is being done to resolve problems.

Cons: the huddles and routines can seen a disruptive when you are very busy running around but yet its a great medium to exchange information

Pros: Data capture is now automated, allowing us to view trends instantly. Compliance has also improved, making it much easier to track documents and ensure that the necessary checks are completed at the appropriate times. We no longer have to sift through stacks of paper to review and sign off on documents, as everything is now accessible through an iPad.

Cons: We are still having difficulty configuring triggers so that the correct check automatically appears at the appropriate time. Additionally, during the sign-off process, we can only void checks; we are not able to delete or cancel any records.

Pros: Wir konnten die Kommunikation verbessern, der Austausch über Fehler und Störungen funktioniert jetzt deutlich lückenloser. Es gehen weniger Informationen verloren, da alles in der Historie gespeichert ist. Wir haben zielgerichtete Chatgruppen erstellt um den entsprechenden Mitarbeiterkreis direkt zu kontaktieren bzw. zu informieren. Das Compliance Modul ist eine sehr große Unterstützung zur digitalen Dokumentation, wir sind dadurch einen großen Schritt in Richtung Papierfreie Produktion gekommen.

Cons: Die Einführung von Redzone, also die Erstellung der Datenbank und der einzelnen Compliance Dokumente erfordert viel Zeit und Konzentration. Jeder Fehler der hier gemacht wird, hat direkte Auswirkungen auf das Ergebnis. Dies nebenbei zum "normalen" Arbeitsalltag ist die größte Herausforderung. Ich kann nur jedem Empfehlen sich für die Einführung viel Zeit zunehmen und dies gewissenhaft zu erledigen, das beugt späteren Fehlern vor.

Pros: Support for setup and managing was great. Product is paying for itself by identifying our trouble shooting areas for our heavier lines of product.

Cons: Initial cost is high due to tablets and tv's needed to show the live activity. Plus, the sensors needed at each point of the line.

Pros: Redzone is extremely helpful with keeping all of our checks organized and easy to access, while also providing more certainty and reliability to what our checks are looking for. Redzone allows me more time to work on other tasks while still being able to stay informed of what is happening in real time.

Cons: There are some interface or mechanical problems for checks that Redzone does not have that this miss gets felt. I wish that there could be a way to unselect options in an option list when not needed, plus it's hard to believe that Redzone doesn't have a way to include section titles in the reports that it makes.

Pros: Communication for people that normally aren't heard on the floor, or their voice is too quiet-they can be seen and heard. It provides accountability for all to see.

Cons: You can't copy production checks over to quality checks and vice versa-its a pain to rebuild them when you have the wrong designation.

Pros: Platform for teams to connect. Ability to to retrieve data in no time. Improved and faster communication to address non conformance.

Cons: Too much integration of Compliance module with production module is causing QC check times to be dictated by production crew. No redone admin app availability makes it very inconvenient to achieve what we want to achieve

Pros: The ability to provide insight to from the frontline and to also provide communication back to the front line from anyone in an organization

Cons: The transparency of what the software and tools require from personnel resource and what they need to do to truly make Redzone work effectively. We found out more as we learned about module implementation and had to adapt vs attempting to be prepared.

Pros: The ability to track performance and issues in real time, the platform for employees to engage across departments, and the ability to have a log of recent challenges and adjustments on machines or processes.

Cons: There is a distinct learning curve to navigation and where to put the information. While in the end, we were very happy with building it to suit our needs, the upfront demands for setup and rollout exceeded expectations.

Pros: The workforce engagement, seeing our front line team come with solutions and ensuring compliance to our standard operating procedures.

Cons: Tableau interfaces haven't been as user friendly as I would have expected. Redzone analytics is also not very customizable.

Pros: Ease of use, great coach! [sensitive content hidden] has been great to work with and made our rollout so easy. We ramped up very quickly with the program with his guided help.

Cons: Not a whole lot to add here. Being Apple based is tough from a system communication in house. Data reporting is also harder than I would like.

Pros: I love the engagement on the floor, and the passion that has developed from the operators with their performance.

Cons: I have truly enjoyed everything about Redzone so far. The experience of rolling out Redzone, the easy use, and the data that comes out is phenomenal.

Pros: Data accessibility, frontline team focus and empowerment while delivering value to bottom line.

Cons: Sensor set-up and maintenance can be tough, would love if Redzone could help more with sensor set-up and reliability or have a recommended hardware package.

Pros: Once you dig into it, the Redzone app is very intuitive and easy to use. We can clearly see the benefits of using Redzone to accurately measure our production performance and to gather all information in one app, which also allows us to record quality control checks and follow-ups.

Cons: Redzone is only compatible with iOS devices. Depending on the product information and type you need to integrate into the Redzone app, it can be quite time-consuming.

Pros: All the new features in reliability and web admin. They look like they will make ease of use far greater.

Cons: Analytics isnt customizable enough. I need to be able to slice and dice a lot more. Tablau is a pain to use.

Pros: Données et analyses pour améliorer rapidement notre activité avec un coaching au top qui permet d'aller à l'essentiel.

Cons: Le paramètrage de Red zone est long et la coaching intensif. L'adaptation à l'Ipad prends du temps pour des utilisateurs d'Androïd

Pros: Redzone has been a game changer for Royal Paper. We are now able to see our data in real time. We have a multicultural workforce and Redzone has helped with communicating, despite our language barriers. Coach [sensitive content hidden] was amazing to work with. She was so patient with myself and the teams, using different training methods to ensure we all understood how to best utilize the application. She made learning fun for all of us!

Cons: I wish [sensitive content hidden] could stay here with us longer! The only con I currently have is the knowledge I have not gained yet. I know will come with more experience using the app and like Coach [sensitive content hidden] always says "practicing the obsession."

Pros: The implementation process was like a crash course in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma. I have become better as a professional because of the tools RedZone has brought to our organization.

Cons: I'd like to have more time to focus on RedZone. I wish it was a larger part of my day, as I learn so much about our organization when I spend time in Redzone or Tableau evaluating data.

Pros: Great tool. Coach [sensitive content hidden] is amazing, really engaged and ensured topics were understood though training, very approachable made it easy for us to ask questions if we didn't understand.

Cons: Redzone web-admin has some bugs to work out. would like a feature to see comments made in chats or forums by date instead of having to endlessly scroll to find a particular day's notes.
