Why is it called a Platform and not just a product?
The Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform is comprised of five independent Synchrono systems that enable the real-time visual factory of the future. When these systems are fully integrated as a Platform, you gain the ability to synchronize your workforce, methods, materials, machines and information in real-time.
With the ability to integrate demand-driven principles across your organization and extended supply chain, the benefits of the Platform are exponential; chief among them are synchronization that drives flow through clear, real-time communication of priorities and status.
What is the biggest difference between the Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform and competitive offerings?

The Synchrono Platform synchronizes every layer of the manufacturing operation and extended supply chain in real-time. This synchronized environment comes to life through a visual factory information system that keeps everyone on the same page with the ability to address issues in real time, proactively execute demand-driven Lean concepts, and take control like never before.
