Operational improvement platform for continuous manufacturing

Put one improvement in place. Hold it. Build the next.

Oppr is for process plants with a problem that keeps coming back. It puts shift notes and machine data on one timeline. AI analysis gives hypotheses that your people test on the floor.

Fix what keeps coming back See how it works

Tell us one problem in your process. We reply with a few questions.

Hypothesis to test

After the thick material, the filter stays clear with a longer flush and the pump at half.

Proposed by the analysis. Your people decide.

Working with

  • keeeper
  • Mutares
  • Omniplast
  • Attero
  • Holliday Pigments

Most plants find the fix. Holding it is the hard part.

Shifts on the same recipe get different results. Last year's gain has faded, and nobody can show why.

02:40

Right after the switch from the thick material, the filter after the vessel blocks again. The shift lead flushes it longer and runs the pump at half until it runs clear. The line runs.

Next month

The next time the thick material runs, the same filter blocks. A different shift is on. They start from zero.

One cycle, four steps

01Capture

A note at the machine.

The shift notes what they see and do: a photo and a few words, on the phone they already carry.

At night, over the shift lead's shoulder: his gloved hand holds up a phone in front of filter F-101

02Connect

The note lands next to the machine data.

The stop is no longer just “Other”.

03Execute

Your people test it on the floor.

Your people test each hypothesis on the floor. What holds goes into standard work.

What Oppr changes in your operation

A project must pay off, and the result must last.

Each improvement is held in place, so the next one starts higher.

  • Less wasteUp to30%
  • More capacityUp to15%
  • Better qualityUp to25%
  • Lower unit costUp to8%
Achieved in improvement programmes our team has led in process plants. Your own numbers set the baseline.

Responsible for the plant?

We start where the return is easiest to show.

  • Your own baseline

    We build the baseline from your own data. We agree the success criteria with you before the work starts.

  • Small, and easy to stop

    We start with one problem on one line. If the agreed success criteria are not met, you have not committed to more.

  • Little to set up

    A local extract from the historian or ERP is usually enough to start.

Will your people use it?

Oppr asks little of the shift, and only where the problem needs it.

  1. Your fix gets a name

    What the shift found reaches the morning meeting instead of Other.

  2. About twenty seconds

    A photo and a few words at the machine.

  3. The process, not the people

    We look at the process, never at who was on shift. Nobody is scored or ranked.

Improvement needs a system. Digitization needs a problem. Oppr brings both.

We are an improvement and digitization partner. We work on the improvement with your people, and the software is our tool to make it hold.

  • Digitization without a problem

    Management starts a large IT project. Two years later, the floor works around it.

  • Improvement without a system

    Every improvement lives in its own Excel file. When the one person who combines them is off, nothing is combined.

“Twenty years of digitizing old factories taught me one thing: AI on bad data gives confident wrong answers. So we start with how the data is captured on the floor.”

A sentence about your problem is enough. It starts a conversation about your process, nothing more.
