We created the noSilo platform to eliminate communication silos that reduce plant efficiency. The application contains a number of modules that help improve the employee management process. noSilo enables the preparation of employees for efficient operation and provides a database of tools supporting the maintenance of this efficiency. Employees can use the application available online at their workstation without having to leave.

• The News module allows you to share information with selected employees, speeding up and improving communication within the team.
  
• The Knowledge Base module provides access to materials necessary to properly perform tasks (documentation, instructional videos, on-the-job training, and good practices).
• Factory, Machines, and Products modules allow you to collect the most important data on how the plant operates and the parameters of manufactured parts.
• The Training Module allows you to standardise the employee training process, preparing them to work independently and achieve high efficiency.
  
• The Competency Matrix module provides access to information about employee competencies and allows you to build a comprehensive and replaceable team.

Step 1 – Efficient change of shift

Handing over a shift allows you to quickly get to the actual tasks. Of course, as long as it has been prepared properly. The noSilo News module allows you to eliminate gaps and information silos in contact with the preceding change. The most important news goes straight to the board in the form of posts. Every employee has the opportunity and/or obligation to read these posts. Information about priority tasks, required parameters, etc. helps ensure we’re on track and gets you up and running quickly.

Step 2 – Elimination of information chaos

Too much information is as harmful as the lack of it – and sometimes even more so. With noSilo, the employee receives access only to information that concerns him. Posts in the News Feed can be selected, a.o.: based on department, line or team. Such personalization ensures that the employee will not waste time reading messages that do not concern him and will focus on performing his tasks from the very beginning of work..

Step 3 – No more long briefings at the start of your shift

The shift change and the most important current information are in the News module of the application available at the workplace. Reducing lengthy briefings at the beginning of the shift also eliminates the problem of wasting time on unnecessary conversations that delay the start of work. In industrial plants employing hundreds or thousands of people, every minute you start a shift sooner can significantly increase productivity.

Step 4 – Instant response to current changes

Factories must be prepared for unexpected situations. Machine failure, order problems, material transport delays—these are just a few of the many events that can force a plant to quickly replan production. NoSilo ensures that employees receive immediate information about plan changes on the News tab, enabling them to promptly adjust the machine or tas..

Step 5 – Improving managers work

Every manager knows it—as many employees, as many excuses. Someone did not receive information about the change; someone didn’t listen; someone misunderstood… However, this does not change the fact that failure to implement the plan may have unpleasant consequences. NoSilo enables the manager to verify the distribution of information to specific employees. Selecting the post-read confirmation option is proof that the employee has read the content. 

Step 6 – Constant access to knowledge

Everyone has doubts sometimes. What do employees usually do in such a situation? They try to remember how to do a task, or they ask their colleagues for help, thus reducing their own and other employees’ efficiency. Constant access to the Knowledge Base, Factory, Machines, and Products modules allows you to quickly find the right information. The employee can look at the manual, check parameters, quickly dispel doubts, and return to the process, all without having to leave the workstation. 

Step 7 – Versatility and replaceability of employees

Employees may experience unplanned absences, such as sick leave or leave on request. A competency matrix provides a quick overview of employees trained for a selected process and allows you to quickly select another person to replace the absent employee. Thanks to a clear interface, the manager knows the training levels of his team and adjusts development paths to always be able to easily delegate people to carry out the process. The lack of competent employees and the need to search for a replacement for a long time do not reduce productivity. 

Step 8 – Employee motivation

Praise for good results and information about the current level of goal achievement or average team performance have a great impact on employee motivation. Through posts in the News Feed, a manager can motivate the team and raise morale, encouraging people to work more efficiently. This solution is especially useful during intense periods, when encouraging news can encourage employees to gain additional strength.
