Key Takeaways

Induflex adapted its production line during the COVID-19 pandemic to manufacture safety products, including over 400,000 face shields and 6,000 customized sneeze guards.

In partnership with Idé-Pro, Induflex utilized IFS Applications to enhance production efficiency, including raw material handling and shop-order time registration.

The quick registration of new products in IFS Applications allowed Induflex to maintain clarity in its supply chain and effectively manage a significantly expanded workforce to meet rising demand.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Induflex has retooled its production line to create products that could keep people safe and help prevent the coronavirus from spreading.

In early April, Induflex teamed up with Idé-Pro, following a spike in demand for all types of plastic shields and sneeze guards for use in essential shops that remained open. Running IFS Applications to support its work processes, Induflex configured the solution’s interface to empower its production team with the capabilities for raw material handling and shop-order time registration. So far, it has produced more than 400,000 face shields and in excess of 6,000 customised sneeze guards of various designs.

Rico Larsen, Induflex CEO and owner, explained: “We were able to register the new products in IFS Applications quickly and easily which has helped us maintain clarity in our product supply chain. The system has also helped us manage our workforce which was significantly expanded to keep up with market demand.”
