Mobillor Enabling Digitalization & Smart Manufacturing

Navigating the New Era of Industry 4.0

The manufacturing industry is a realm facing innumerable challenges with constant changes running throughout its system. With globalization breathing down our necks and the world of technology chasing after us at breakneck speeds, there is no getting around that fashion, as an industry needs to do some soul-searching.

The dawn of Industry 4.0 promises manufacturing a world of smart manufacturing and digital transformation; however, it seems more like the narrow path through a labyrinth for most enterprises. This is exactly where Mobillor fits in to solve these problems and, at the same time, leads towards a future that harmoniously aligns with every possible edge of manufacturing using digital transformation.

Bridging the Digital Divide in Manufacturing

Mobillor’s CEO Rishi Bansal is taking the company to new heights in the digital transformation era. Mobillor specializes in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 solutions. The solution deployed over 50 clients across many industries, such as automotive, Industrial Equipment & Machinery, Electronics, Consumer Goods, FMCG pharmaceuticals (pharma), Paints and Chemicals, Packaging, etc.

Conceived, designed, and architected as an ecosystem of the five digital Solutions: Digital Supplier, Digital Warehouse solution, Digital Manufacturing, Digital Distribution, all integrated seamlessly with ERP systems, IoT, QR Code/RFID technologies, MES, Machines, Transportation Management Systems and various 3rd Party Applications.

However, the feature that makes Mobillor unique is its ambition to close manufacturer-wide ‘digital gaps. Despite emerging enmasse with whitecollar operations, traditional enterprise ERP systems for an important part of the workforce have been desolated—mostly blue-collars. This disconnect obstructs real-time data gathering as well as process refinement and prevents companies from actually getting the value out of their ERP investments.

Rishi Bansal describes, “Digital transformation is not about just using new technologies or hardware but how every corner of the organization gets benefitted from these advancements.” Mobillor: Our mission is to connect Shop Floor to Top Floor for all stakeholders, from managers in the headquarters office to shop floor workers, access to they need from bottom up.

The Genesis of Mobillor: A Solution Born from Experience

The tale of Mobillor is a perfect combination of vision, experience, and indepth knowledge about the bottleneck problems faced by manufacturing. Rishi Bansal, founder of Mobillor, who has served at top ERP consulting companies offering ERP systems like SAP, Infor, Microsoft, and Oracle, interpreted a pole apart market vacuum.

Completely different and disconnected, the other executors (basically blue-collar workers) went about their daily works using old paper dependent methods with with no real time execution data getting back into the ERP systems and no support in sight from ERP systems that were applicable on white-collar or office procedures.

“Then the digital storm hit, but even post that, still many of these manufacturing companies were nowhere close to being 100% digitally transformed,” Bansal remembers. Only 15-20% of the workforce was on ERP systems, while the remainder continued operating with paper. Such fragmented setups led to a massive visibility gap at the top management level and inefficiencies that were too big to be ignored any further.

According to one of the Industry Report published by S&P Global Market Intelligence “One of the top digital transformation initiatives targeted for the next 12-24 months in manufacturing is the replacement of paper- and whiteboard-based shop-floor approaches with digital solutions” and this is why they came up with Mobillor.

Mobillor also made it possible for the shop floor to tap on and expose this same level of connectivity and transparency that was enabled by all its microservices integration in a highly integrated platform, including easy-to-implement apps. This enables manufacturing processes to become more efficient; management has the ability to make smarter decisions by providing real-time accurate data and thus can chase a much tighter business strategy in an agile way.

Smart Manufacturing: Driving Digital Transformation in Industry

Smart manufacturing technologies are revolutionizing the industry by integrating data from existing systems, allowing manufacturers to optimize resources without the need for costly new equipment. This approach not only improves efficiency but also enhances collaboration between departments, enabling better decision-making.

According to a study of Global 500 manufacturing companies, 80% are in the execution phase of digital transformation, focusing on shifting from paper-based shop-floor systems to digital solutions. However, while many organizations have begun this transformation journey, full implementation remains a challenge, with a significant number still in the early stages of their initiatives.

Riding the Wave of Industry 4.0

Change has been a constant within the manufacturing industry, yet Industry 4.0 is not just introducing new technology but reshaping businesses entirely. With IoT, AI and machine learning now being incorporated into manufacturing practices have given way to new realms of automation, data analysis, and decision-making. But for companies like Mobillor, this movement has opened up an arena of potential growth and innovation.

Supporting this, Bansal adds: “Industry 4.0 or Digitalization is not a fad; it’s the future of manufacturing.” Indeed, as a growing number of manufacturers are looking to adopt these cutting-edge technologies into their operations, our solutions have never been more relevant. We are not only assisting businesses in maximizing impact of Digitalization; we are also supporting these companies to be the change agents of this new era.”

Mobillor´s ability to integrate with all major ERP systems was one of the keys to its success, and now it is bringing a whole new level by implementing end-to-end process automation. Mobillor is partnering with various organizations in their respective digital transformation journeys by solving the unique challenges of the manufacturing sector, such as providing improved connectivity and streamlining workflows.

Overcoming Challenges in a Dynamic Industry

Like any other digital business, the journey to digital transformation is not easy. Mobillor has a fair share of its struggles amidst successes. By far the biggest hurdle faced by them is knowledge and understanding of digitalization by potential clients. According to Bansal, “Digital transformation is a fairly new term for the manufacturing industry. For example, “Many organizations either do not understand digital well enough to have realistic expectations of it or simply do not possess the internal capabilities required to establish a coherent pathway on their own,” he explains.

So, it is inevitable that organizations that are born and deeply rooted in tradition would resist change. Unknown, which brings fear, and no obvious understanding of what benefit digital solutions may bring are the biggest gating factors for adoption. To solve this, Mobillor operates under a consultative framework, partnering with clients to first inform them about the benefits of digital transformation and then craft unique strategies designed around their particular circumstances.

And there is also the difficulty and complexity of this integration with other new digital solutions along with ERP systems and legacy technologies. One needs to be very well versed with not just old systems but new ones as well and has the capability of doing this seamlessly while managing low disruption in ongoing operations. “Integration is core to our DNA,” Bansal states. “Where we thrive is connecting legacy to modern, so that our clients can move forward with smart manufacturing without any issues.

A Client-Centric Operational Model

Mobillor succeeds mostly due to its customer-centric operational model that promotes flexibility, efficiency, and a better understanding of the requirements of their clients. A domain-driven approach rooted in the experience of consultants with over 15 years of industry expertise spread across Electronics, Consumer Goods, Industrial Equipment chemicals, and automotive is what governs this model.

“Our domain experts are not merely consultants but partners for our clients’ success,” says Bansal. Their deep domain expertise in the material life cycle and individual industries has also enabled us to provide solutions that are not only state-of-the-art but contextually specific to our clients’ very real problems.

Another key differentiator is Mobillor’s microservices-based approach. Mobillor guides customers along incremental steps of digitalization, making the journey to Industry 4.0 pragmatic and suitable for each client’s unique processes. The prize is not only a lower risk of disruption but also getting quickly onto the path to tangible benefits for clients, and hence building confidence and momentum in their digital transformation journey.

Distinguishing Leadership and Vision

It is not only the innovative offerings but the visionary leadership of Rishi Bansal that separates Mobillor from its competitors, in fact. Through his leadership, Mobillor has created a culture of speed and flexibility with an unparalleled customer-centric ethos.

Bansal underscores, “Our leadership has a very strong vision for the future of manufacturing. (Engineering Team)” We are always looking to adapt to industry changes and set our strategies up accordingly. It’s one way for us to make sure our solutions are innovative and up-to-date, even in an industry that changes so fast.

Customer-centric Approach: A third milestone in Mobillor’s sustainable success to date has been Bansal’s customer-focused approach. Mobillor focuses on building strong, long-term relationships by understanding clients and their pain points to drive real business outcomes. It is this commitment to client success that drives their agile methodology, which means they have the flexibility needed to keep up with new challenges and opportunities, so Mobillor continues to be a resilient company in an ever-changing industry.
