Creating Color with Confidence

A TrakSYS-powered production management success story at AkzoNobel, featuring Parsec Partner HSI

AkzoNobel is a global leader in paints and coatings, with centuries of expertise and a broad portfolio serving decorative and industrial markets worldwide. In Brazil, the company operates multiple manufacturing facilities supporting diverse product lines and high production volumes.

As demand increased at its Mauá operations, AkzoNobel faced growing complexity across production planning, material flow, and performance monitoring. The team needed better real-time visibility and coordination to support Lean initiatives, improve decision-making, and maximize the value of existing systems.

Working with Parsec Partner HSI, AkzoNobel adopted a TrakSYS-based approach to strengthen production management while integrating with established enterprise systems.

In this case study, we explore how HSI worked with AkzoNobel to:

• Establish real-time visibility into production performance and bottlenecks
• Improve planning and scheduling through integration with SAP
• Support Lean initiatives with actionable operational data
• Increase operator engagement through visual management tools
• Strengthen traceability and control across production stages
