Digitizing the Industrial Frontline Workforce
Eliminate paper, reduce workforce movements and interactions, safely manage plant access, and enable persona-based remote working. Webalo’s Connected Digital Distancing technology uniquely addresses the critical requirements for today’s pandemic – while also providing a platform for the future.
Webalo Control Tower apps provide real-time operational awareness across all areas of plant operations, allowing management teams to visualize and analyze plant and workforce performance.
Webalo is enterprise grade, closely integrated with enterprise and industrial software systems such as Microsoft, SAP, Rockwell, and Siemens. Webalo is built to operate in the face of massive amounts of real-time transactional usage by thousands of workers to help them make better, more informed decisions and to make their businesses more productive.
Webalo empowers citizen developers such as process engineers and the broader plant team to generate, manage, update, and maintain their own apps. Webalo’s model is simple; its patented technology generates apps automatically. It’s easy to implement, does not require substantial corporate resources, and can be enabled remotely. Webalo is low-cost and delivers a rapid ROI.
Shift changes need to be carefully managed to minimize person-to-person interactions between shifts. Webalo digitizes the shift handover process, capturing key KPIs directly from the data sources and enabling the shift team to add pictures, videos, and notes for viewing on mobile, desktop, and large screen displays to digitally support the handover from one shift to another, minimizing person-to-person interactions and reducing downtime.

Ensuring the plant is always operating on the right production schedule is a key operating requirement. Enabling this capability without paper is challenging. Webalo integrates with production planning products (SAP PP, etc.) and automatically digitizes the plan onto the mobile devices of the production team, ensuring everyone is looking at the right plan at the right time.
Ensuring secure access to the plant, minimizing external vendor plant movement, and eliminating paperwork are critical requirements in today’s operating environment. Webalo’s Connected Digital Distancing™ technology digitizes plant entry (bill of lading), materials receiving, plant paperwork, and ERP (SAP IM, etc.) reconciliations.
Real-time visibility of the status of the tasks and activities of the workforce, and of the broader plant operating environment and its machinery, is critical to maintaining efficient operations. Webalo’s real-time Control Tower view of the plant through mobile, desktop, and large screen displays of dashboards, KPIs, and reports showing workforce task/activity status, combined with all other relevant plant data points, ensures management and plant operations can maintain operational efficiency in any operating environment.
The workforce and management need to be able to operate remotely. Webalo’s native mobile platform provides secure, scalable, actionable, and personalized access to the applications and data sources that the individual user needs to interact with, without them having to use VPN access and navigate through multiple menus and screens to find what they are looking for.
