Even in 2025, work still hurts far more people than most management dashboards show. International labour bodies estimate that close to three million people die every year due to work-related accidents and diseases, and hundreds of millions more suffer non-fatal injuries that keep them away from work for days at a time. Behind every number […]
Barcodes, ingredients, allergens, batch codes, expiry dates, QR links—modern labels carry far more than just branding. They are legal documents printed at line speed. One wrong line of text or missing allergen statement can turn a profitable product run into a recall, a brand crisis and a legal problem overnight.Over the last few years, global […]
In automotive and electronics manufacturing, quality problems are rarely “small”. A hairline crack in a painted door, a void in a solder joint, a reversed connector or a wrong component can cascade into warranty claims, line stoppages, reputational damage and even safety issues.Industry data shows that the cost of poor quality often consumes a double-digit […]
Unplanned stoppages in plants, yards, and energy assets rarely fail “gracefully.” A single failed conveyor pulley, overheating transformer, or cracked wind-turbine blade can idle entire lines, trigger safety incidents, and wipe out weeks of margin in a few hours.Industry data shows how brutal the numbers are: global manufacturers in automotive, FMCG, heavy industry, and oil […]
Traditional perimeter security was built around fences, guards, motion sensors and CCTV recording. That model is struggling in a world where facilities are larger, operations run 24×7 and attackers are increasingly organised.Industry numbers make the gap visible. Retailers alone lost over a hundred billion dollars in shrink in a recent year, with theft and related […]
Workplace safety has never been more visible — or more expensive to ignore.Recent international estimates show that work-related accidents and diseases now cost the global economy a mid–single digit percentage of GDP every year, translating into trillions of dollars in lost output, healthcare and compensation. At the same time, global studies put annual work-related deaths […]
Modern warehouses are under pressure from every direction: faster delivery promises, volatile demand, and tight labor markets. Underneath all of that is a quieter problem that eats margin every single day: inaccurate inventory and preventable errors.Studies compiling retail and logistics data show that the average retail operation has inventory accuracy of only around 63%, meaning […]
Defects are not just a quality issue — they are a quiet but persistent attack on margin, reputation, and capacity. In many manufacturers, the total cost of quality (inspection, scrap, rework, returns, warranty, field failures) can consume a double-digit share of revenue. Studies citing the American Society for Quality indicate that quality-related costs often sit […]
