We combine lean coaching with a digital production system that helps manufacturers identify waste, standardize operations and sustain continuous improvement long after implementation.
Built on decades of lean automotive practice
Most manufacturers spend their time maintaining the system instead of improving the production. Checklists to complete, reports to write, KPIs to update and dashboards to prepare for tomorrow's meeting. But if the data isn't being used to improve production, it becomes waste itself. Data should drive decisions, not become another task to maintain.
01StepInspections, time studies, disturbances
02StepPaper forms, spreadsheets, checklists
03StepCopy-paste into dashboards and reports
04StepExplain what happened, not what to fix
Lean philosophy is about the right product, in the right quantity, at the right time.
But with data, we often do the opposite: too much or too little, given to the wrong people, far too late.
That problem is no longer relevant.
Just as we deliver our products Just in Time;
we need to deliver the right data, in the right hands, at the right time.
Standardize your production. Eliminate waste. Improve continuously. Novent brings together people, processes and data in one digital production system.
01 · Information
View everything linked to a station or user - no detective work needed. Check the skills matrix, grab the latest docs, see what's being produced, what the requirements are, and who's currently logged in. All connected, all in real time.
02 · Organization
Easily configure plants, departments, job titles, production areas, shop floors, warehouses, shifts and BOM structures - all in one place. Fully connected across your operations from day one.
03 · Reporting
Operators scan each completed part while Novent automatically monitors output, takt performance and target achievement. Report scrap, deviations and downtime directly from the station. Need support? Press the digital Andon button and keep production running.
04 · Themes
Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all. Novent gives you a fully flexible theming system that adapts to each plant, department or shop floor. Choose a template or design your own.
05 · Skills Matrix
Operators log in by scanning their Badge ID or entering it manually. Access is denied if the operator doesn't meet the required competency for the station. If an operator hasn't logged into a station within a set period, their skill level is downgraded automatically.
06 · Traceability
Track every product, station and operator throughout the manufacturing process. Novent creates a complete digital audit trail, making it easy to identify who produced a part, which station it passed through and when each operation was performed - fully traceable in real time.
07 · Documents
No more missing or searching for documents - now you have them all in one place. Upload files, link them to stations or users, set expiry dates, request digital signatures and access everything from any device, anytime. Finally, a document system as organized as you wish your desktop was.
08 · Simplicity
We know digital systems can feel like rocket science. That's why we've kept it simple: one structure, one learning curve, and you're ready to handle every application like a pro - from the newest hire to the most experienced operator.
01 / 08
The right data, at the right time, in the right hands.
Tablets, laptops, phones, station terminals. No per-user fees.
Choose your language. No confusion. No lost in translation.
We don’t simply deploy a system and walk away. We work alongside your team to plan, act, check and improve - turning every factory into a self-sustaining improvement engine.
Before implementing technology, we understand how your production actually operates. Through Gemba walks, process analysis and value stream mapping, we identify waste, quantify improvement opportunities and establish a measurable baseline for success.
Improvement doesn't happen through presentations - it happens through disciplined execution. Together, we establish clear target conditions, remove obstacles and create a continuous improvement routine using PDCA and Toyota Kata principles.
Once the process is stable, we digitize it. Standardized work, quality management, traceability, skills, audits and production reporting become part of one connected Digital Production System - reducing administrative work while making improvements sustainable.
Our goal is not to make you dependent on consultants. We train your teams, develop internal leaders and embed continuous improvement into everyday operations so your organization continues improving long after implementation.

Lean is no longer just for the shop floor, it belongs in digital workflows too. Efficient data management is now as critical as efficient production.
"The biggest cost in manufacturing isn't labor, material or machines. It's the inefficiencies nobody measures."
"Novent wasn't founded to digitize factories.It was founded to make factories better.Digitization is just the tool."
We've kept what we love about lean tools: simplicity and visualization. Just the right information, displayed in an easy-to-understand format. Keep it digital or print it when needed. Our lean applications are built to support your continuous improvement journey, not complicate it.
Train operators through digital courses, quizzes and certifications. Link every qualification to the Skills Matrix and ensure only authorized personnel perform critical work.
Report quality issues instantly, notify affected operators and provide feedback to the responsible stations. Turn every defect into an opportunity to improve.
Monitor production performance, quality, downtime and productivity in real time. Make informed decisions using live data instead of assumptions.
Operators can escalate problems with a single tap. Notify the right people immediately and reduce downtime before small issues become major disruptions.
Digitize audits, inspections and checklists with photo evidence, action tracking and complete accountability across the factory.
Plan and manage digital 5S and Kamishibai audits. Standardize routines, eliminate waste and keep improvements from slipping back.
These are some of the applications included in Novent. Explore them all here.
Connect administration, planning and production in one system. Reports, follow-ups and improvement projects flow from real shop-floor data instead of fragmented files.
Access the app directly on the production line to log data, flag quality issues, trigger andon support and keep workflows running smoothly in real time.
Monitor KPIs, track shop-floor performance and convert insights into action, without messy spreadsheets. Dashboards for every plant, department and line.
Software alone won't transform a factory. Our workshops and coaching programs build the muscle memory your teams need to sustain lean long after the consultants leave the building.
Build a common understanding of Lean across your organization. Learn the principles behind the Toyota Production System through practical, hands-on exercises based on real manufacturing challenges - not classroom theory.
Create a culture of continuous improvement. We coach leaders and teams using Toyota Kata to build structured problem solving, scientific thinking and daily improvement routines that become part of everyday work.
Stop treating symptoms. Learn how to identify root causes, solve problems permanently and develop a structured improvement process that prevents the same issues from returning.
