ROBIN — dynamic scheduling and operations management software for industry

On the production side, Daher manufactures aircraft — different types of aircraft — and in our business, we have a genuine need for real-time visibility into our physical flows. […] All of this, combined with Zozio's algorithms and expertise, enables us to improve our production and logistics operations. Knowing in real timeReal timeData updated continuously from the shop floor, with no re-entry or consolidation delay.See in the glossary → the position and status of parts currently in production allows us to be almost “omniscient” about our production flow.

Our big focus is data-driven transformation: reducing our carbon footprint, optimising our productivity, and securing business diversification — working on drones right now, for example. One phrase that has really stayed with me, from Yves Dubreuil at Renault: “When the only tool you have is a hammer, you see every problem as a nail.

Zozio was the simplest solution to implement, and the most flexible. It enabled us in particular to increase the productivity of our main production line — which also means avoiding the need for additional teams at weekends during production peaks.

The platform's effectiveness becomes apparent after a few months of use: yes, the solution has a significant impact on productivity. The biggest time loss was due to machine stoppages — with Zozio, we manage to keep them running continuously.

Zozio has enabled us to significantly digitalise and automate the management of our mobile tanks. It is a real-time, collaborative platform: we know where the tanks are — including when they are on lorries in transit — whilst being certain of their regulatory compliance. Working conditions are improving significantly, as we are reducing the mental loadLoadVolume of work to be carried out on a resource over a given period. Always compared against capacity.See in the glossary → on our teams.

Our story with Zozio was born from a need: to geolocate and track our tank fleet. Today, the application covers 4 roles — production assistant, washer, technician, and manufacturer. Zozio means time saved at work and less mental load. It also delivers a general efficiency gain, whether for operators or for Cosmetic Active Production.

The tool solves operational problems that people encounter every day on the shop floor. Instead of searching for mobile equipment around the factory, team members use ROBIN, Zozio's solution. That means less wasted time and less frustration.

The big vision is hyper-flexibility — the hyper-modularity of factories, which can be reconfigured very quickly to meet market demands. […] I am certain this will be the focus for Zozio, with a promising future ahead.

Our operations involve considerable inherent variability: parts from suppliers, late diagnostics, specialist skills, and demanding quality standards. Our primary objective was to establish a comprehensive digital twinDigital TwinAn accurate digital representation of the shop floor (resources, routings, WIPWIPParts, batches or equipment committed to production and not yet completed. The French term for WIP.See in the glossary →WIPWork In ProgressWork in progress: everything engaged on the shop floor but not yet complete. High WIP ties up working capital and extends lead times.See in the glossary →, positions) on which simulations can be run before decisions are made.See in the glossary → in partnership with Zozio, to automate the tracking and progress monitoring of parts and equipment.
