Founder and CEO Batist Leman explains: “In many companies today, instructions and quality controls for operators are only available on paper. Not only are they unclear and not up to date, but the possibility of feedback and analyses are also lacking. Our software offers clear work instructions and in-line quality control, which automatically adapts to the operator’s skills and the configuration of the product order. Azumuta visually and interactively guides the operator through the entire production process. This allows even less experienced people to participate productively right away, increases productivity, and quickly detects any inefficiencies in production.”.

Huge Potential: Azumuta’s platform is designed for various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and chemicals. With built-in real-time analytics and reporting, companies can easily monitor performance and identify areas for improvement in terms of efficiency and quality.
