Redzone Reviews & Product Details

Redzone is such a great tool to capture data in real-time, help eliminate quality check forms on paper, trigger scheduled checks to help remind team members when a check needs to be completed, and easy access of historical data sheets when performing document reviews.

There is nothing that I dislike about Redzone. There is one improvement that I would like to suggest if we can add videos as attachments. Also, if there is a better way to import new items into the system directly into Redzone without having to submit to Redzone support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real-time communication of all quality-related checks performed in a food production setting. This makes it possible to determine and execute corrective actions immediately, segregate products as needed, implement holds, and start rework, all in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have very few dislikes about this program. Honestly, I can’t think of a single one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RedZone helps reduce human error in quality and food safety checks. In my experience, the main reason checks get missed or aren’t completed properly is that the operator, supervisor, or manager gets pulled away to handle other duties, and their daily tasks end up being overlooked.

I often find that there are parts of a check that I’d like to reuse in other checks with slight modifications, but there isn’t an easy way to do that. Instead, you have to build a completely new check from scratch, even when you’ve already done about 95% of the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favourite part personally is the communication aspect of Redzone, giving operators a platform to voice their concerns. They are able to communicate between different departments and shifts swiftly, without the constraints of personal technology, WIFI and signal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I can’t say there’s anything I dislike. That said, I haven’t really found much use for the “Rally Cry” feature yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the real-time feedback that QAD Redzone provides. It's really helpful for illustrating and solving issues that arise. I enjoy the instant feedback on the issues and the dialogue it creates, which helps in addressing the problems. I also like reviewing the data that comes from the huddles and the graphs data reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I know we're having issues with work orders. It doesn't really fulfill our work order process as it pertains to our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's user friendly and helps with communication significantly across the shop floor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found any downsides so far, I think I would just make the forums easier to read and understand from someone on the outside that is not participating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We brought in QAD Redzone to get real-time visibility on the floor and to replace paper checklists and whiteboard tracking. The biggest difference from other tools I've evaluated is adoption. The interface is simple enough that operators picked it up with very little training, and that's what decides whether a plant system succeeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost beyond the license andImplementation, training, and integration add cost beyond the license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone has allowed our struggles to become more visible and with this our problems are being solved and fixed much quicker than before. In our 90 day start up of redzone the packaging area has seen a 30 % uplift in our productivity. A great example of empowering the operators is my one operator had to go walk 50 + ft to a HMI screen to reset the conveyor every time they would stop. She entered her idea in the activity part of redzone suggesting to install a button by the conveyor so that 2 things could happen she would save on wasted motion walking and also make the line more efficient by getting it up and running faster. It was implemented within a few days. This shows that we are addressing the issues and makes the operator have a positive outlook on redzone and what it can do for us in the future. They also will be more reluctant to come up with ideas and share them in redzone when seeing results so quickly.

I also loved the redzone university which I did and made things not so scary. I am having all my supervisors do this also. This was encouraged by our coach Derrick and I agree helps get the whole team on board and using all the redzone features to allow us to become a more productive and efficient manufacturing team :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Gantt chart view in QAD Redzone for evaluating line capacity quickly. The scheduling module is also a huge plus because it can push jobs to productivity without manually handling each line, which saves a lot of time and effort. Having different views available helps tailor the signal to noise ratio per department, making sure each one sees only what's relevant to them. This organizational capability really enhances our operational workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone is a great tool for keeping our business connected to the truest source of information: the people working directly on the floor. Having used other systems before, I noticed that while they could track OEE, they often fell short when it came to capturing valuable feedback from operators, mechanics, technicians, and everyone else on the team. With Redzone, I see team members actively using the platform to share details (whether through chats, pictures, or videos) which has proven incredibly helpful, especially when different shifts or leaders are investigating recurring issues. It’s great to have all this information centralized, and everything gets recorded in each run report for easy access.

When we kicked off targeted coaching at the start of this year, our site re-launched the huddles with help of our coach, Zach Thompson. Since then, there’s been a noticeable positive trend, not just more forums being held, but also a surge in actions and new ideas that are now being passed along to management forums for follow-up. It’s really important to give the employees the opportunity to feel seen and heard, and their contributions making a tangible impact, and Redzone is a great tool to do so.

The other part on Redzone that is been really helpful is the Kaizen forums, we have used these to conduct Root Cause Analysis, utilize the Fishbone tool and having the ability to manage all the action items and follow ups in one place is great and made our improvement efforts much more organize and effective.

Not at downside from the software by itself, but I was hoping to use Redzone to start implementing Centerlines (base settings) and CILs and then I learned that those are now part of a different module that we don't currently have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
