Project summary

Borlas Group deployed BRAMS (Borlas Repair and Maintenance System) solution, in-house development, with a wide range of functionality to automate enterprise asset management.

By the launch of the project, Customer's quality control team needed an effective tool to manage regular quality control audits and analyze the amount of data received. New information system was required both to automate the process of performing audits and involve all the heads of the relevant departments, where shortcomings were found, in the initiative.

Following its success in presentation, BRAMS platform was chosen by the Customer to address these issues. Most of the functions met the stated requirements, and the platform could be promptly adapted to the targets set.

Borlas Group primarily completed the software development to suit the needs of the Customer, including the expansion of the application functionality to manage operations quality. Furthermore, added a feature of registering all detected non-compliances both using mobile devices and in a permanent workplace, including tracking violations from photos and videos.

The project also included the integration of BRAMS with external information systems, which allows for increased detection of defects early in the production and real-time blocking of raw materials that do not meet high quality standards before they are sent to the production shops.

The breadth of the project included a production site in Tambov, as well as the Belgorod branch of Tambov Bacon LLC.
