Linde AMT digitized shop floor operations with real-time dashboards, improving visibility, speed, and decision-making.
Linde AMT, a global industrial services organization, set out to modernize how operational data was shared across its shop floors. Operating across 20+ sites and multiple countries, the organization needed a scalable way to standardize communication, improve visibility into production performance, and accelerate decision-making at every level.
Prior to Korbyt, data sharing was manual, inconsistent, and time-consuming. As part of a broader digitalization initiative, Linde AMT adopted Korbyt to establish a centralized, real-time visualization layer for operational data. This shift improved transparency and accountability while laying the foundation for continued digital transformation.
Catalyst for Change
Before implementing Korbyt, Linde AMT relied on manual processes like whiteboards and printed reports to communicate production data.
“We’d write reports and stick them on a whiteboard… updates were happening once a day.” — Philip Apenouvon, Associate Director, Digitalization and Automation
These static methods created inefficiencies, limited visibility, and slowed decision-making across teams and shifts.
They set out to:
- Replace manual, static communication methods
- Improve real-time visibility into production metrics
- Increase transparency and accountability across teams
- Build a digital foundation for future innovation
Discovery
Linde AMT evaluated several options, including browser-based tools and standalone BI displays. Korbyt stood out for its speed of deployment and frictionless integration into their existing environment.
“Korbyt ended up being the solution that we could implement the fastest by far.”
— Philip Apenouvon, Associate Director, Digitalization and Automation
Pre-existing infrastructure and integrations enabled rapid rollout across global locations, minimizing IT friction and accelerating time to value.
They needed:
- Fast deployment across global sites
- Seamless integration with Power BI and enterprise systems
- Centralized control with localized flexibility
- A scalable platform for long-term digitalization
Solution
Korbyt was deployed across 20+ global sites, supporting over 100 media players and displays throughout production environments.
The solution focused on delivering real-time, interactive dashboards fueled by Power BI and managed centrally through Korbyt’s CMS.
“We needed a tool that could help us display data near real time on the shop floor… but also… interactive.”
— Philip Apenouvon, Associate Director, Digitalization and Automation
Using Korbyt’s CSV adapter and centralized controls, the team was able to standardize content globally while maintaining flexibility at the local level.
Core components included:
- Interactive dashboards: Real-time production metrics and KPIs via Power BI
- Centralized CMS: Standardized global content with localized customization
- CSV adapter: Rapid configuration and scalable content management
- Hardware flexibility: Support for multiple player types and display environments
Results
Korbyt empowered Linde’s communication initiative to deliver real results:
- Reduced manual reporting and preparation time
- Faster access to real-time production data
- Improved communication speed and operational alignment
- Standardized visibility across global sites
A key outcome was the acceleration of communication and decision-making on the shop floor.
“There is like a higher velocity in accessing the information… decision making also gets improved.”
— Philip Apenouvon, Associate Director, Digitalization and Automation
“You’re saving time… people going through spreadsheets… they could just go consult one of the TVs.”
— Drake Hart, Digital Project Engineer
Beyond efficiency gains, the initiative helped drive broader digital adoption across the organization by making data more visible and actionable.
Looking Ahead
Linde AMT plans to expand its use of Korbyt to support advanced planning and forecasting, and to enable deeper interactivity across all sites.
The long-term goal is to create fully transparent operations where every team has immediate access to the data they need to perform and plan effectively.
The Bigger Picture
Linde AMT’s transformation highlights a critical principle in modern operations: visibility drives action.
By digitizing and centralizing operational data, Korbyt enabled Linde AMT to move beyond manual processes and establish a scalable, data-driven environment. The result is not just improved communication, but a foundation for continuous improvement and innovation across the business.
