Datacraft Solutions Digital Kanban Featured in Industry 2.0

The current issue of Industry 2.0 includes a feature article by contributing editor, Thomas R. Cutler about Digital Kanban.

Reducing lead times through detailed flow techniques is the concept of a kanban system with a “push” manufacturing environment. IT managers are asked to develop methods for implementation of digital kanban systems, because a leaner production method is not created by paper (or card) kanban instructions that result in lost orders, duplicated orders, or supplier confusion. Constant breakdowns in information flow are a common problem in the manufacturing sector.

While there may be no obvious connection between Digital Kanban and Linux, according to Justin Diana, CTO of Datacraft Solutions, “Linux makes better economic sense to develop or run a digital kanban solution versus Windows.” According to Diana, “There is a paradigm shift in the investment and development community relative to “open source” technologies. The benefits that come from a global base of developers have made many of the open source technologies move to the forefront in many application areas.”

Thomas R. Cutler is President and CEO of TR Cutler, Inc., (www.trcutlerinc.com), the nation's largest manufacturing marketing and public relations firm, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
