Transcript
The interface on Steelhead is so intuitive and easy, and the work the guys have to do to put the data in is so much easier.
A lot of these ERP systems are kind of operating a few decades late.
They don't run on iPads. They don't run on phones.
And the clocking in system is very manual.
So they got to go walk to a desk center that you have to set up in the shop, which costs money.
They got to walk to a desk center, they got to enter in a number, and then they got to walk back.
Well, not only is that just begging for guys to skip a process, it also takes them away from their equipment.
You know, the iPad system we have here, the guys can stay on their equipment and do it right then and there.
So I know we're losing time if they've got to walk across the shop.
Not only are they having to enter a number in and know know find the number.
Not only are they having to enter a number in and know know find the number and find the program, enter the program, enter their names and da da da da da da.
They're also talking to their buddies on the way.
So increased efficiency across the board if they can just enter the job in right then and there on their iPad and start working on the machine.
