Empowering Global Operations with Unified Processes.

Empowering Global Operations with Unified ProcessesThe client stands as the forefront leader in geosynthetic material manufacturing and is dedicated to enhancing civil and environmental infrastructure worldwide.Established in Varennes, Quebec, the client has solidified its global presence through 32 legal entities across 4 continents strategically positioned across Canada, the USA, Germany, Malaysia, Thailand, Egypt, China, and Australia. This extensive network encompasses 10+ manufacturing units operating round-the-clock across various time zones to ensure continuous production and a robust logistical framework with 19 physical warehouses strategically located to serve its diverse clientele worldwide in multiple time zones. Therefore, the major challenge was standardizing business processes consistently across all countries.

Despite varying regulations across different countries, the goal was to project a unified brand identity. Whether it is company reports or other critical details, the presentation should reflect a single, standardized company. To address these challenges, The client launched the “One organization, One Data, and One Reporting” initiative. To support this initiative, The client was looking to develop comprehensive reports that provide a holistic view of the client’s global operations. They also required consistent reporting standards across all legal entities. Whether 
it’s financial data, performance metrics, or operational insights, common reporting ensures uniformity and accuracy.

The client faced several challenges with their previous systems, including Azure Data Factory ETL and BYOD. They needed full data pushes for every entity, resulting in long refresh times for Power BI reports, creating entities for individual tables, and managing schedules for batch jobs and report refreshments.

Despite previous engagements with Managed Service Providers (MSPs), The client found their existing solutions inadequate in addressing their unique requirements and expected results, necessitating a more robust and tailored approach to digital transformation.

DynaTech’s Enterprise Digital Strategy, Coupled With Power Automate

DynaTech Systems integrated Power Automate to streamline the quality testing process. Traditionally, quality checks involved users collecting manual data to assess the thickness and density of rolls. Additionally, integration with the Instron machine facilitated automated testing, but the results still required manual entry into Dynamics 365 F&SCM.

To address this, we developed a Power Automate Flow named “Lab Quality Result Import”. This flow automated the transfer of test results from the Instron machine directly into Dynamics 365 F&SCM. When test results are collected, they pass seamlessly through the Power Automate Flow, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This ensures that critical data regarding testing frequency, thickness, over-thickness, density, etc., are accurately captured and stored in the system without delay or errors, empowering the users to focus on higher-value tasks

 

Power BI Integration

DynaTech offered Power BI Integration that helped in aggregating data from multiple sources into a single dashboard, providing comprehensive insights at a glance. Scheduled inventory report refreshments every 3 hours empowered both production teams and management with up-to-date information. With customizable filters and various chart options, the client could visualize data tailored to their specific needs. The "Analyse in Excel" feature further enhanced data analysis capabilities. Additionally, we are providing ongoing support, developing and modifying dashboards as requested, and ensuring seamless access to Power BI for all users.

Production Planning and Scheduling

Production Planning and Scheduling

Streamlined the order creation with the drag-and-drop feature, machine capacity planning helped prevent bottlenecks, and recipe change options ensured operational flexibility. Raw material shortage notifications enabled proactive planning, and color-coded status indicators offered clear visual progress tracking. Our system dynamically adjusts plans for any machine breakdowns, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
