QAD Redzone Reviews

Redzone has provided us with a tool to help our front-line workers have a voice to communicate with their team. The use of Redzone has brought supporting departments together with our production team to work as one unit to solve problems and improve processes. Not only does Redzone provide a ton of useful data, but it has also provided a cultural shift and created a more positive, engaged environment.

We found that the install of Redzone was a little worrisome for our front-line workers. Before installing, some felt like it was a tracking tool for management to track employees, with a lot of meetings to discuss what we want to use the tool for (to give a voice to the workers and help them) the team really bought into it and became more positive. i would say that this is very important and that management at ALL levels should be engaged and supportive.

Redzone gives us unprecedented insights into our production process and helps us identify trends we can use to increase our productivity and efficiency. The compliance module helps us fulfill our regulatory obligations easily and without paper.

Importing products and equipment can be a bit quirky on the initial upload if you don't have everything in the exact format required. We had issues with this but it's likely because we haven't done many product conversions similar to this before.

Since Redzone is designed to work with Apple's iOS platform, everything 'just works' between the various supported devices. You can run the programs on computers with M-series processors but it would be really nice if there was a web based option for management users who can't/won't use an iPad.

Incorporating Redzone into my sanitation team's operations has revolutionized the way I manage accountability and communication within my team. One of the most remarkable aspects of Redzone is its ability to hold team members and management alike accountable for their actions and responsibilities. With its intuitive interface and real-time tracking features, every task and objective is transparent and accessible. This level of transparency fosters a culture of responsibility and ownership among team members, driving them to consistently perform at their best.

-Navigating the introduction of Redzone to team members unfamiliar with smartphones or tablets presented a considerable challenge. While I recognize that OEE serves as the primary metric within Redzone, I found it crucial to emphasize the significance of sanitation related features. These features have proven invaluable to our team's productivity and efficiency. Despite the initial difficulties in familiarizing everyone with the technology, the benefits of incorporating Redzone into our sanitation processes have been undeniable. Moving forward, I hope to continue highlighting the importance of sanitation related features within the platform.

Provide a better visualization of data tracking which can be use to help reduce product count loss in the future. This app improve the communication between shifts allowing everyone's voices are heard, from operators to maintenance and quality assurance. Shout out for coach [sensitive content hidden] for her superb guidedance and being impressively patient with our operators. The coach helps them become more eager to learn more about Redzone.

Not entirely a dislike about Redzone but some of our operators have no knowledge using new technology so they have difficulty learning the new software language. With the new compliance system coming in place, the operators also doing both paper batch record and EBR at the same time so it's creating more work for them, but hopefully this issue will end soon after we fully implement paperless system.

Ease of use and set up. Easy to implement to operations and coaching support has been fantastic.

Some features missing or not implemented in the way that we currently work. Redzone take on suggestions but may not act upon them.

The way the compliance module so easily integrates into the productivity module made it a smooth transition to a paperless state.

Some of the templates and triggers provided were less than ideal. It would be nice to see product filters available for shift triggers within the compliance module.

Very accessible and intuitive. All of the workforce have responded positively.

We are using Power BI for analytics, as the in-house analytics is not configurable enough for our needs yet.

I like that I'm able to communicate with others in real time and work together to solve issues that are happening on the floor.

No complaints on redzone as the app is easy to use and very user friendly.

The OEE is updated instantly. I get to see all the chats and communication for the whole plant. This has help improve our inefficiencies and focused on our bottlenecks. The engagement is great with employees on the floor taking initiative to create action items.

The least is when action items are closed you are not able to see all action items closed to review history.

Training sessions and user froendly software.

Change is hard. Implementing changes. More of an employee issue than RZ.

What I like most about Redzone is that it in-powers the front-line workers. I have been involved in 2 Redzone launches, and for both sites, it has made our jobs easier. It helps create a structure for organizations. The culture that Redzone brings to sites about coaching employees and helping them grow professionally is what I most like about Redzone.

One of the cons that I have experienced with Redzone is minor app bugs that quickly get addressed.

We can see all our line data on a screen and it allows us to know what's happening on our line, what's causing the downtime.

At the moment, I don't use the system enough to dislike it.

Ease of use and training with [sensitive content hidden] was on point

So many things that can be done it’s hard to remember how to get to some options

Redzone helping us go paperless is going to save us time and help us keep track of what's on the floor real time.

There’s a lot to learn and I feel more training with [sensitive content hidden] would have helped.

Easy to implement and easy to use. The Redzone coaches are amazing. They are very professional and knowledgeable about their product and about manufacturing.

I cannot think of any cons. Redzone has a great product.

I like everything about Redzone. I don't need to run around to monitor my lines and I love the communication aspect of Redzone.

I can get to know downtime quickly and if the line is stoped I can immediately react to the problem.

Redzone has made decisions making easier.

I would to see directly video call. At the moment is limited to pictures and videos.

When internet is down, the system is down.
