Redzone Reviews & Product Details

It spurs a lot of communication between different groups in our facility, gives us a lot of trackability and oversight on work to be done and completed tasks in the maintenance group.

This is very user friendly and easy to comprehend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still need some features to help us on our reliability side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone is a tool that has made my work much more efficient. It saves me a significant amount of time, allowing me to focus on other priorities and become more involved in production and quality activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, I do not have complaints about redzone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like QAD Redzone for its real-time data collecting and the effective communication it facilitates from the bottom to the top. Before QAD Redzone, we didn't have any kind of data collection—it was all manual. Now, it's possible to pull uptime and downtime data. I'm also looking forward to using the compliance module for digitized documentation in the future. The ease of setting up the system is pretty easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the beginning of the project, the plant team wasn't included in the planning phases, so it was pretty surprising in terms of the scope of work that was needed from the plant team. The majority of this was decided by our corporate team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives us live, accurate data, along with the reasons for downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The terminology in Redzone can be difficult to deal with at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really value being able to automatically schedule checks and see run progress and productivity at a glance. Being able to check on a line or process remotely is also a huge win, and it frees me up to focus on additional tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I have very few issues with Redzone. Occasionally, the way we schedule checks doesn’t line up exactly with a specific tool in Redzone, but I’m usually able to set up something similar that still meets our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use QAD Redzone primarily to drive productivity and ensure compliance across our facilities, and it plays a central role in standardizing processes, improving accountability, and maintaining consistent quality. I enjoy the ability to customize and build out my team's checks from anywhere, which offers great freedom and the ability to assist from any of our locations or even from home. The customization allows us to match the system to our actual workflow with specific fields, photos, and automatic calculations, keeping data consistent and complete, improving compliance, and saving time by automating tasks like defect percentages and credit calculations. I also appreciate the real-time tracking of performance and visibility into key metrics, helping us quickly identify inefficiencies and reduce downtime. The support from a great coach, Ricardo Guillen, has also been invaluable in gaining the knowledge needed to lead and manage Redzone effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now, just the sign off process for quality checks. We should be able to choose what is signed off. Not every data sheet needs to be signed off. Only CCPs and other optional things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and straightforward to work with. It’s been absolutely great for going paperless, and it really helps improve communication between departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have anything negative to say about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of the modules follow the same structure and setup which means standardization of one area is relevant to the other areas. RedZone allows for real-time reactivity to when production is out of spec. The learning module is fantastic and easy to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The excel upload sheets when creating items can be difficult. It would be easier if for each product in redzone, we could go to the centerlines and have them all listed and fill in the values within redzone without having to individually add each centerline to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy that we can set time limits for our quality checks, ensuring our product meets standards at the correct time. It's great that we receive prompts from QAD Redzone, which replaces the manual process where operators kept track of their time. The ability to monitor efficiency, track downtime, and remove paper forms and checks from the floor is really beneficial. I also appreciate having real-time data for quality checks, allowing us to quickly see operators' performance against standards, which has made them more efficient.

The cycle locations are clunky to me. I feel like there could be a better way to notify QAD Redzone that you are moving to another batch instead of having to allocate pounds. Skip the part about allocating the pounds. It's repetitive and I don't see what the use is. Also, there was a lot of work on the back end setting up product specifications and the checks themselves.

On January 19, 2026, the PBI-Gordon Third Street Plant successfully launched the Redzone Productivity Module, an AI-native manufacturing platform designed to increase output, improve productivity, and reduce total manufacturing costs.

Redzone provides real-time visibility into line and product performance by measuring and tracking key metrics across the plant. Through intuitive dashboards and reporting, frontline teams and plant leaders gain immediate access to performance data, enabling faster decision-making and a clearer understanding of top losses. Built-in lean tools support collaboration and problem-solving directly on the floor.

In the two months following launch, the Third Street team has actively embraced Redzone’s continuous improvement capabilities. With coaching support from our Redzone coach, Tom, the team has conducted numerous 5-Why analyses and facilitated two Kaizen events focused on addressing key production losses. As a result, the plant has achieved a 41% reduction in downtime and a 25% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The results are due to the engagement from our hourly owners, team leads, and Supervisors to continue to drive improvement and use the system to it’s potential.

Next steps include deploying Redzone’s Quality Compliance module in the coming months, while continuing to build on the team’s growing knowledge and application of Continuous Improvement tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that comes to mind overall. It was really seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
