Harford Control celebrates great success at PPMA 2023

We were delighted to return to the PPMA Show at NEC, Birmingham this year. We achieved great success and were pleased to meet both our old friends and to make new ones from a wide range of businesses. Understanding performance improvement, we presented unique and holistic solutions to help address increasing challenges within the manufacturing supply chain.

Facing joint challenges such as supply chain disruptions, rising raw material prices, sustainability and environmental concerns, many manufacturers actively sought advanced digital solutions to ensure product quality, reduce wastage, and improve production performance internally, whilst eliminating the paper chase.  Also, through smart integration, we offered a cost effective alternative to piece meal systems.

What we did differently at PPMA this year was collaborating with our strategic partner, Visicon, to present machine vision with AI-based edge learning capability, simplifying the vision training process and improving accuracy, compared to earlier and alternative Vision technologies.

In addition, as Harford constantly strives to improve our client experience, we have expanded and updated our range to show our very latest solutions at the show for the first time.

Our end-to-end MIS/MES provides best practice benefits in:

• Risk Reduction & Consistency
• Wastage Reduction
• Compliance
• Efficiency Improvements
• Yield Optimisation
• Energy Tracking

“Our current integrated solutions, more than ever, reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and our dedication to helping manufacturers enhance performance, leading to sustained profitability.” – James Green, Business Improvement Manager at Harford Control.

The show provided little more than an introduction to Harford technologies. Every serious exhibition enquiry will be diligently followed up with site visits and factory walkthroughs, where appropriate.  Here’s where the real work begins.

The Harford system is built to scale across entire factories, from goods-in to despatch. With Harford’s MIS/MES solution, all production-related information is available within a single system. All collected data is analysed, prioritised & distributed to networked PCs, laptops, tablets and mobile phones, in real time, so your operators can make adjustments and managers make better informed decisions immediately.

We help factories eliminate risk, reduce wastage and improve efficiency by turning data into actionable information with end-to-end MIS/MES.
