Real-time visibility
06 August 2025
MANUFACTURING AND supply chain software specialist, Nulogy, will debut its new Smart Factory solution to the UK manufacturing sector at the PPMA Total Show in September.

Under the theme “Don’t Lose Sleep Over Your Factory Floor", Nulogy will showcase to operations directors and production managers, amongst others, how its cloud-based platform helps manufacturers move beyond constant firefighting and uncertainty.
By delivering real-time visibility into production metrics, equipment status, and workforce allocation, Smart Factory empowers teams to identify issues early, eliminate inefficiencies, and optimise labour allocation. The result is fewer disruptions, smoother shift changes, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) – all while controlling costs and maintaining quality output amid rising labour costs in the UK manufacturing sector.
Visitors to Stand A92 can see live demonstrations of Smart Factory and speak with Josephine Coombe, chief commercial officer at Nulogy Europe, who will explain how the software helps manufacturers move beyond ‘gut feel’ decision-making to run their operations with trusted, actionable data.
“Production managers are all too familiar with the anxiety caused by unexplained downtime, fluctuating output, and unplanned overtime. Often, critical issues remain hidden until the end of the shift or day, meaning problems escalate before they can be resolved,” said Coombe. “For senior executives such as operations directors, this lack of clarity translates into uncertainty around margins, capacity, and ROI for future investments, creating a barrier to scaling operations profitably and ultimately keeping them up at night.”
Increasing costs are putting unprecedented pressure on manufacturers, making economic savings more critical than ever. Nulogy’s Smart Factory solution provides plant and production leaders with clearer, faster insights for confident decision-making, helping them navigate shifting market demands while cutting waste, reducing costs, driving growth and ending sleepless nights
“Smart Factory is designed to bring clarity and calm to chaotic factory environments,” concluded Coombe. “For businesses under pressure to do more with less, it gives teams the visibility they need to hit targets, hold each other accountable, and sleep better knowing production is under control.”
