This approach improves operational efficiency while fostering sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Identify & minimise wastage
Implementing waste reduction solutions empowers manufacturers to minimise wastage, enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs. Through effective monitoring of raw materials and labour, businesses can identify and minimise wastage, leading to optimised resource utilisation and streamlined processes. This not only improves operational efficiency but also promotes sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Enhancing environmental performance and sustainability
Waste reduction solutions encompass a range of strategies to minimise inefficiencies and promote sustainability in manufacturing. These include monitoring and reducing raw materials and labour wastage, implementing energy tracking systems to identify and address energy wastage and adopting efficient processes. By integrating these solutions, companies can optimise resource utilisation, reduce costs, and enhance their environmental performance, contributing to overall operational excellence and competitive advantage.

Raw Materials and Labour Wastage/Monitoring
Harford raw materials and labour wastage monitoring solutions enable manufacturers to track, analyse and optimise their material usage and labor resources. This empowers them to reduce wastage, enhance operational performance, and reduce transformation costs.


Energy Wastage (Energy Tracking)
Harford energy wastage reduction solutions provide real-time monitoring and help minimise energy consumption in manufacturing processes. With precise tracking of gas, air, water, electricity and other forms of energy, businesses can identify opportunities for savings and optimise their energy usage.


Why work with Harford Control?
Over several decades, Harford Control has worked tirelessly with a wide range of factories in order to optimise their production performance.
With the Harford Manufacturing Execution System (MES) tailored to your needs, you will more easily reduce errors, find the hidden wastage and consequently become more efficient, whilst continuing to deliver consistently high quality products, making your business more profitable and sustainable.
Most manufacturers are facing ever increasing input and transformation costs with few opportunities to increase the output price to their customers.
This should encourage manufacturers to look more deeply into their production processes to find the hidden costs, eliminate wastage and thereby improving efficiency without compromising quality.
The problem of rising costs and fix output costs is nothing new and will not end. Therefore performance improvement to drive down transformation costs must be continuous.
