How we solve your problem
The PARAGON team is formed by experts in decision-making tools. Said tools include statistical, modeling, management and data visualization software and methodologies. We use the most modern simulation, optimization, scheduling and data visualization technologies. Our main goal is to offer security for decision making, presenting results and simple alternatives for complex problems that help reaching the productivity and profitability targets through cost reduction and investment optimization.
Process automation
Automation is no longer a differential; it is the basis for the efficiency that all industrial work wants to seek. Industry 4.0 is the competitive reality.
Companies need to increase the efficiency of the production lines, mitigate situations that may affect the pace of production and eliminate the risk of downtime – such as lack of inputs, for example.
In addition to the mathematical modeling of all information, PARAGON specializes in Digital Twins, a methodology that allows a company to visualize and test all the details of a system in a completely virtual environment, before it starts to be physically developed.
Thus, you minimize the risks of:
- Poorly dimensioned financial investments;
- Inefficient processes;
- Staff undersizing.
Operational efficiency
For automated manufacturing lines to deliver maximum productivity, it is essential that the human factor is present and highlighted as a study in simulations and in the final decision.
Some aspects need to be stressed in current operations:
- Special attention to occupational diseases in repetitive effort routines, such as handling inputs and finished goods, loading and transport;
- Investment in ergonomic conditions;
- Sizing of each shift – quantity and number of operators.
It is necessary to answer some crucial questions in an operational dimensioning study that brings productivity with the rational use of human resources.
- How do shifts affect productivity?
- What is the occupation level of resources and operators?
- How do operators influence overall performance?
- How to use ergonomics to reduce the risk of injuries and injury related leave?
PARAGON works with methodologies and software that map the processes of the plant’s operating chain in great detail to present reliable analyses and scenario simulation that help optimizing human resources in complete safety.
Search for sustainability
In addition to knowing the characteristics, composition and source of product, clients value the brand’s environmental responsibility.
It is essential to reassess the whole food industry production chain and prepare it for the future.
- Choosing of raw materials in crops that do not degrade the environment;
- Best manufacturing practices to avoid contamination of water, soil and environment;
- Sustainable water use process – for example, rainwater collection for several uses;
- Use of recyclable materials, especially in packaging.
All these changes will impact production times and final results. Thus, it is essential to study the risks and opportunities in each practice.
Based on this study carried out by PARAGON using the most modern data collection, modeling and analysis tools, it is possible to define the sustainable way of producing that brings the best cost-benefit ratio.
