Question on: Redzone
[Is Redzone a QMS, CMMS, or LMS?](/discussions/is-redzone-a-qms-cmms-or-lms)

[Redzone](https://www.g2.com/products/qad-redzone/reviews) is a Connected Workforce Solution and it includes the features of QMS, CMMS, and LMS. Redzone's simple integrated platform is used by manufacturing, quality, and maintenance teams. Manufacturers that buy Redzone choose which capabilities they would like to use in Redzone. Manufacturers can choose to use Redzone as their OEE platform, QMS, CMMS, and LMS or all of the above. Redzone's QMS module enables paperless quality and helps teams be audit ready for ISO, SQF, and BRC audits. Redzone's CMMS module creates and tracks work orders, preventive maintenance, and parts inventory and it's built on a foundation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Redzone's LMS module simplifies knowledge capture, provides skills and training tracking, and provides a learning library of industry-standard training.

What’s great about Redzone is its flexibility, manufacturers can use it for quality, maintenance, or training depending on their needs. Having QMS, CMMS, and LMS features in one platform helps teams reduce silos and work more efficiently.

Thanks for your comment, Brittany! We're hearing this more and more: factories are looking for a solution that centralizes and digitizes work for the whole factory to eliminate those silos and make teams more efficient. As a bonus, Redzone customers can leverage content from all modules through Champion AI to support frontline teams!

Question on: Redzone
[What is a Connected Workforce Solution?](/discussions/what-is-a-connected-workforce-solution)

Connected Workforce Solutions (CWS) are platforms that create connected workers and enable manufacturing teams to connect in a way that drives continuous improvement and a Lean transformation. A Connected Workforce Solution like Redzone helps manufacturers improve processes because it creates informed and connected workers. A CWS provides a platform for communication and collaboration among teams and team members, provides dashboards that allows teams to see performance in real time, and centralizes task management.

A connected workforce solution like Redzone goes beyond dashboards, it empowers frontline teams to communicate, collaborate, and make real-time decisions. This connection between people and performance data drives faster Lean improvements.

Question on: Redzone
[Is Redzone an MES (Manufacturing Execution System)?](/discussions/is-redzone-an-mes-manufacturing-execution-system)

Redzone is a Connected Workforce Solution (CWS) that includes the features of an MES including real-time OEE. Redzone eliminates manufacturers' need for an MES. Manufacturers use Redzone in the same way an MES is used. Through integration and automation, Redzone provides insight into equipment performance, monitors process parameters, and provides real-time OEE dashboards and monitoring. Manufacturers that already have an MES easily integrate their data with Redzone. A Redzone factory is a smart factory and Redzone enables a total digital transformation in operations.

Many manufacturers compare Redzone to a traditional MES because of its real-time OEE tracking and equipment monitoring. The difference is that Redzone connects the _people_ behind the machines too, it’s a workforce-first approach to digital transformation
