VoltForge Technologies’s 60+ global manufacturing facilities relied on slow, manual communication methods like printed memos and taped-up instructions. This caused delays in safety alerts, shift updates, and performance metrics, risking both efficiency and safety.
AIScreen enabled real-time, zone-based digital communication across plants. Production dashboards, safety alerts, and HR updates were instantly pushed to displays throughout facilities, reducing lag and enhancing clarity on the floor. Shift-wide communication became seamless and standardized.
In a VoltForge Technologies plant, precision is everything.
From robotic welders to just-in-time assembly lines, every second and every step has to be synchronized. As a global Tier 1 automotive supplier, VoltForge Technologies has built its reputation on quality, speed, and continuous improvement.
But inside some of its 60+ facilities, one thing wasn’t keeping up: the way information was shared on the factory floor.
Printouts. Sticky notes. Last-minute huddles. Memos taped to machinery.
For a company that supplies parts to the world’s most advanced carmakers, it was time for a better way to communicate.
That’s when VoltForge Technologies partnered with AIScreen and turned every screen into a driver of operational excellence.
At VoltForge Technologies, production lines never sleep. Whether it’s stamping, molding, or final assembly, uptime is gold. But communication? That was often delayed, decentralized, or unclear.
“We were working in a lean environment with bloated communication,” said a plant supervisor, Michael Luckie. “We couldn’t afford the lag.”
As VoltForge Technologies expanded its footprint across the U.S., Mexico, and beyond, the communication gap threatened more than efficiency; it risked safety, morale, and compliance.
It was time to make plant-floor communication as streamlined as the supply chain.
It started as part of a Kaizen initiative. One IT manager tasked with improving line-side communication came across AIScreen at an industrial tech expo. What caught his eye?
“Real-time updates, zone-based content, and absolutely no need for complex hardware installs,” he recalled.
A pilot was launched in an Illinois facility within two weeks.
AIScreen didn’t just deliver updates, it aligned teams across departments, languages, and shifts.
One of the first big tests came during a multi-site recall simulation drill. Normally, managers would call team leads, email PDFs, and hope the message trickled down.
With AIScreen, the crisis alert was deployed to over 30 facilities in under 60 seconds. Every line, breakroom, and office saw the same message, color-coded, timestamped, and auto-expiring once the drill ended.
No confusion. No chaos.
Just alignment.
And it didn’t stop there.
Supervisors began using screens to display live performance charts. Quality teams posted ISO audit tips in high-traffic areas. Maintenance shared preventive schedules. Even birthdays and safety milestones made it to the plant-wide rotation.
“AIScreen didn’t just help us communicate,” said one plant manager, Adam Hoffman.
“It helped us build pride.”
“AIScreen gave us a clear, consistent voice across all locations. Whether it’s celebrating team wins or sharing safety alerts, it’s now easy to keep everyone aligned.”
After rolling out AIScreen across a dozen facilities, the impact was clear:
Today, VoltForge Technologies is expanding AIScreen across its North American plants, with plans to integrate:
“We’ve always been a company that builds world-class parts,” said the VP of Operations, Kevin Hamilton. “Now we have a platform that helps us build world-class communication, too.”
AIScreen didn’t slow down the line.
It helped every part of it move smarter.
And in the world of high-stakes manufacturing, that kind of alignment isn’t just a win.
It’s a competitive edge.
