Redzone from QAD

Founded in 2013 and acquired by QAD in 2023, Redzone is a cloud-based Connected Workforce platform built to transform factory operations by putting real-time digital tools directly into the hands of frontline workers. While 70% to 95% of continuous improvement programs traditionally fail due to frontline exclusion, Redzone solves this by unifying productivity management, quality compliance, autonomous maintenance, workforce training, and AI-infused data analysis into a single mobile ecosystem. By empowering operators to directly run, measure, and improve their shifts through real-time collaboration, the platform drives rapid operational gains. Food and beverage sites average a 12.4-point increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) within 90 days—yielding 26.3% more output from existing lines—and sustain momentum to reach roughly 24 points above baseline by day 1,000. Today, Redzone supports over 500,000 frontline workers across 2,000+ factories, serving industry leaders across food and beverage, CPG, life sciences, and discrete manufacturing.
