We are proud of who we are, what we do, and why we do it, and are happy to talk about it to wit's end. Ultimately, the best way to understand “Vorne value” is to hear what others say – not what we say. Please take a moment to read some of the great comments that our customers have provided us.
With 25,000+ installations in 45+ countries, XL is helping a diverse range of manufacturing companies to improve productivity
- Vorne
“I've used Vorne XL in my last three roles and it has really made a difference. When I joined my last plant our OEE was 30%. Each month we picked a focus metric from the XL800 and trained the team on that metric. I showed everyone how it affected the line and then we worked together to drive up the number. We steadily improved, and when I left the plant our OEE was 74%!”
W.M. | Operations Manager | Food Manufacturing Plant
“I attended the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago this September. Having installed Vorne XL across my plant I really wanted to check how XL stacked up to other OEE systems. I spoke to 3 or 4 other companies at the show and I believe that nobody offers us the ‘bang for the buck’ that we're seeing with our Vorne XL800 systems.
I'm a big fan of the Advanced Analytics! With a few mouse clicks I can analyze historical data from each of my assemblies. I'm also using Advanced Analytics to plot charts for the shifts to see how they stack up against each other. Nothing wrong with a little cross-shift competition!
I am heading to our parent facility in Germany to present XL to our counterparts in Germany, China, and India and I feel it will be easy to convince them that they should be looking at XL as well.”
M.H. | Plant Engineer | Tier One Automotive Supplier
“We bought an XL400 system in September, and within a month we were seeing improvements of up to 8% in our OEE. Our OEE is now trending towards a 10% improvement. After our first month we visited Vorne for a 2 day training session and have left with a really solid plan to maximize how we use the system. We have now started introducing XL to our sister plants to align it with our group OEE methodology.”
R.N. | Continuous Improvement Manager | Food Ingredients Manufacturer
“When we brought in our first XL600, we introduced it to our associates in small groups and explained the idea behind working to Takt Time. After three days our team was producing at 115% of plan and set a new production record. At the end of the shift our plant floor team broke into applause! That's why every line is getting an XL600.”
C.T. | Lean Improvement Team | Global Imaging Products Manufacturer
“Two years ago we brought in the Vorne XL800s as part of our lean program. We wanted to measure and improve efficiency on seven lines. OEE gave us a reliable way to measure our progress and also a tool for identifying areas where we can improve. Over this time we have increased our OEE by an average of 20 points and our downtime is down by 15 to 20%. Vorne has been with us every step of the way. We are proud that we have improved and also that we are maintaining our gains. Vorne has been a trusted partner in our journey, providing us the tools and support to help us improve our productivity.”
L.C. | Manufacturing Engineer | Global Auto Parts Supplier
“At Cosmetic Essence we have been aggressively working to improve our OEE and manufacturing efficiencies. So far this year, we have been able to achieve a 22% improvement in OEE, and Vorne XL has been an integral part of our improvement process. By knowing the status of all our lines in real-time, we can address problems in real-time. With XL, our entire team sees downtime, and eliminates downtime. We count on Vorne XL to show us what area's we need to address, and we take immediate action from there.”
M.H. | Plant Manager | Personal Care and Household Products
“In looking to add some new production displays, I climbed up to see what we have been using for the last ten years to find that they are Vorne displays.
Any product that can work reliably in this plant for so many years is worthy of buying more!”
D.K. | Process Reliability Team Leader | Consumer Products Manufacturer
“I have been very impressed with the displays from Vorne. I have worked with them since we installed them several years ago. Operating 24 hours a day seven days a week, we have never had a problem. We are used to dealing with machinery issues, but the displays from Vorne have NEVER failed. Day in day out they just work. We never hesitate to use Vorne in our plant. We don't mess around with quality here, and its obvious Vorne shares our focus on producing a quality product.”
D.S. | Manufacturing Engineer | International Printing Group
“One of my guys came by my office and said, ‘Your display fell.’ We went out to the plant floor to take a look. Someone hit the column the display was anchored to – hard enough to knock it loose. All I saw was communication and power cables hanging.
The M1000 hit a thick metal pan right on the edge before it dropped another 15′. If it were a melon it would have split it like a knife! I thought it was done for.
We hooked it up and the M1000 worked flawlessly! I was impressed – we work in a foundry and if the heat, dust and chlorine don't kill it, a 20′ drop sure should. Nobody builds stuff like that anymore!”
D.M. | Plant Engineer | Major Aluminum Alloy Producer
“You guys sure do build a tough product! We installed eight of your 87/232 units in the mill for what was supposed to be a temporary installation and left the access plates off. Nearly two years later the displays look like someone threw handfuls of gunk in there and these things are still running – never missed a beat. Gimme four more!”
A.W. | Maintenance Tech. | High Volume Steel Producer
“Our customer was preparing to install a Vorne M1000 and had it on a stand in an open area. They heard the sickening crunch of metal on metal as a car drove into the stand sending the display flying. They picked up the display and dusted it off thinking that for sure it would be destroyed. The case was dinged up and scratched but when they powered it up it worked perfectly and has been since.”
J.B. | CEO | Automation Systems Integrator
“I would first like to say that we made a mistake when we went with your competitor years ago just to save a few pennies. While your competitor-provided inadequate service, the few Vorne displays we did purchase continued to run day in and day out without incident or issue. When we did have questions, your support people were always quick to respond.”
L.M. | Controls Engineer | Lift Platform Manufacturer
“The XL600 is exactly what we were looking for! In the past we have struggled with accurate capacity planning. Thanks to the Vorne displays we now know what is going on anytime, anywhere. The XL600 helps us make informed manufacturing decisions. Improved productivity is a bonus.
And, the best thing about it is that it was so easy to install. Add the fact that we didn't have to deal with software to see our real-time data and the XL600 is a real winner.”
D.G. | Plant Manager | Hospitality and Healthcare Products and Services
“I have purchased and installed Vorne products for almost 10 years now, so I trust their ability to survive in a food manufacturing environment.
The XL Series allowed me to introduce a new concept – real-time visualization – for very little cost and complexity. The alternative would have been to use PLCs, interface them with a PC, find and run software on the PC to drive the displays, and interface them with the displays.
There is simply no comparison! I really like the product and will recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone.”
J.D. | Maintenance Manager | Food Products Manufacturer
“I am very impressed with the XL! Just two wires is all it takes to get a tremendous amount of real-time process data.”
S.R. | Senior Electrical Engineer | US Automaker
“We received our order on-time and the display is exactly what we were hoping for. Our Lead Exhibit Builder literally pulled the display out of the box, plugged it in and smiled. Our customer and the thousands of people that will see it will be in awe. Vorne has earned the right to be our first call whenever we need displays.”
S.S. | General Manager | Exhibit Manufacturer
“We wish all our applications went so easy. The programming of the unit was so quick and straightforward – actually one of the best we've dealt with. We usually have to spend 25 or 30 minutes messing around with poorly written manual and bad software. Your display took less than 5 minutes to program!
We are normally in a bind on the job site and really like products that don't require a call to technical support. As a matter of fact, we probably won't even have to look at your manual on the next installation – and we work with some products that require us to read the manual on every job site even though we install that stuff monthly.”
M.F. | Engineer | Consulting Engineering Firm
“You guys nailed it on the first try. That never happens – we just expect some sort of difficulty or problems. My maintenance guys were so impressed when they pulled it out of the box, powered it up and it worked. I made them read the manual just to keep them honest.”
