  2. FastForward

Developing time-saving, efficient and effective solutions, together with you as a partner. Solutions to friend time. Every wasted hour is one too many!


Under the FastForward theme, we offer various tools for optimisation. Consider, for example, the FactoryScan (see below), process optimisation using the A3 methodology, or optimising the warehouse using itsme Connected Business. In addition, there is of course a focus on the innovative products with which the step forward in efficiency and effectiveness can best be taken.


We keep our finger on the industrial pulse and follow the trends in improvement. We report on this in our news articles and newsletters, our knowledge magazine Signaal and live, in our FastForward webinars. In 2024, we will organise a webinar on preventing production downtime under the banner ‘Always On’. Later in the year, a webinar on achieving an optimal workspace and warehouse will follow.

Not people need to work harder, but work needs to flow faster

With a single cable and one click, you connect all the I/Os on your normally 'non-intelligent' Eaton components that you now use in your current conventional control. This makes them intelligent without replacing them.
