The Challenge
Operators and factory staff often struggled to identify parts during breakdowns or maintenance tasks. Searching for complex part names (e.g., “venturi flow meter”) in inventory systems at odd hours caused delays and miscommunication.
Key issues included:
Slow part identification increasing downtime
Dependency on experienced staff for part lookups
Delays in creating work orders and replacement requests
Limited visibility on part usage history and sub-assemblies
Inefficient logging of breakdowns and time spent
“Without a smart QR-based lookup, production staff wasted valuable time during breakdowns, impacting operational efficiency and response time.”

Our Solution
Enterprise Part Picker
The Part Picker App provides a QR-based interface to quickly identify machine parts and sub-assemblies. The app integrates with maintenance, planning, and inventory systems to enable replacement requests, work orders, and stock visibility. Users no longer need to memorize or spell part names.

Results and Impact
Part Picker transformed part identification and breakdown handling across production sites. Staff can now scan a QR code to instantly see the part, its sub-assemblies, and availability in the warehouse. Work orders and replacement requests are triggered directly from the app, reducing downtime and errors.
The solution also improves operational reporting by capturing time spent on breakdowns and part replacement, giving leadership actionable insights for maintenance planning.
