Catalyst xM™
Catalyst xM™ is a controlled electronic system designed specifically for the automation of workflow in the manufacturing environment. Workflows are the sequence of actions that define the interactions between people, equipment and systems in the normal course of operations as well as in response to unexpected events.
They are the processes and procedures manufacturers strive to define, document and refine in order to improve quality, reduce variability and increase operational efficiency. Whether you call them standard work, standard operating procedures or business processes – they define what you do and how you do it.
There are numerous benefits to automating workflow in Catalyst xM™. It’s easier than you think and provides a significant ROI. Contact us to schedule a demo or to learn more about how Catalyst xM™ can help your organization.
Catalyst xM™ makes it possible for manufacturers to guarantee 100% compliance, gain unparalleled levels of traceability, provide decision support through meaningful manufacturing intelligence, close the loop on continuous improvement efforts, improve operational productivity and reduce resource requirements.

The Motivation for Automating Workflow
A study by the Aberdeen Group (Event Driven Manufacturing Intelligence, May 2008) showed that Best-in-Class manufacturers (top 20%) enjoyed, on average, a 33% higher profit margin than Average and Laggard manufacturers. Best-in-Class manufacturers averaged 97% on-time delivery, 91% overall equipment effectiveness and 98% product yield. Best-in-Class manufacturers were identified to have the following characteristics:
- 65% more likely to standardize exception handling processes and procedures across manufacturing operations
- 2 times more likely to enable continuous improvement teams with analytics and real-time visibility
- 4 times more likely to display operational data and metrics in real-time
