Manufacturers Across Continents Boost Agility and Efficiency with Power Platform
Ardent Mills · Business process automation · Microsoft
Leading manufacturers in Asia, North America, and Australia—including a major apparel producer, Ardent Mills (flour-milling), Komatsu Australia (equipment), Hexion (chemicals), and Electrolock (insulation)—have implemented Microsoft Power Platform to drive digital transformation. These companies overcame challenges such as production inefficiency, manual data processing, downtime management, invoice error resolution, and inventory tracking using no-code/low-code platforms. The Power Platform suite—including Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps, AI Builder, and Dataverse—enabled rapid app and dashboard development for real-time operational visibility and automation. Solutions deployed across the manufacturers include downtime reporting, automated invoice error correction, digital customer information capture, and mobile inventory management, improving productivity and reducing manual work. Case studies highlight operational changes: The apparel manufacturer in Asia and Ardent Mills achieved real-time downtime reporting and streamlined quality control, while Komatsu Australia leveraged Power Automate and AI Builder to automate the invoice fixing process and integrate with ERP systems, resulting in faster, more accurate operations. Hexion improved business data capture and process automation, integrating Power Platform solutions with Dynamics 365 to manage customer operations and IT provisioning. Electrolock digitalized inventory management for itself and its customers, gaining competitive advantage with more accurate records and mobile tracking tied to financial processes. The collaborative environment fostered by Power Platform enabled innovation among employees, cost savings, and scalable transformation initiatives. These projects serve as blueprints for agile manufacturing in the digital age.
