Supporting Sustainability In Manufacturing With Production Control Software
Sustainability in manufacturing doesn’t have to be complicated – and it can go hand-in-hand with efficiency and profitability. In this episode of the Sustainability in Manufacturing Podcast, host Jason Hutt talks to Geoff Gartland, Managing Director of PSL Datatrack, about how production control software can help subcontract precision engineers work smarter, reduce waste and make their operations more environmentally friendly.
Geoff explains how digitalisation and modular ERP/MRP software can transform everyday processes, from planning and scheduling to job tracking and pre-kitting:
Minimises paper usage through digital workflows and interactive Status Boards, keeping information live and up to date
Improves machine efficiency and reduces power waste by ensuring materials and tooling are ready before the job starts
Forecasts requirements in advance, reducing chaos and enabling smoother workshop control
Boosts staff engagement and productivity by providing clear, actionable information at the right time
Modular approach allows staged implementation, making improvements manageable while supporting sustainability goals
Whether you’re looking to cut costs, reduce environmental impact or create a more organised and attractive workplace, this conversation shows how PSL Datatrack’s production management software helps subcontract precision engineers combine sustainability with efficiency.
