In our previous blog, we talked about the advantages of Imprivata’s passwordless authentication in the manufacturing industry. Summarized, passwordless authentication would mean: reduced risks, more uptime, simpler compliance and an overall happier staff. In this blog, we’ll explore more about how Imprivata boosts efficiency and productivity across the factory floor.
From friction to flow on the factory floor
Imagine: Monday morning after a busy weekend. It’s 5:57 AM and the early shift is about to clock in but several operators can’t access their workstations, others are locked out and the queue for the help desk is growing and growing. Shared credentials, slow authentication, and inconsistent access processes create daily friction that delays both production, efficiency and accountability.
Imprivata changes that. With badge and PIN access, operators can securely sign in on any workstation or shared device within seconds. No passwords, no downtime. Access is fast, consistent, and secure across every environment. Productivity and efficiency secured! Cutting each login from 30 seconds to 3 might not sound like much, until you multiply it across hundreds of employees and shifts. The result is a measurable productivity boost and a smoother workflow from start to finish.
Measurable impact on efficiency and productivity
• Fewer delays, higher output!
Manufacturers using Imprivata report:
- Less downtime
- Reduced workload for IT
- Faster onboarding
When the authentication process is simple and reliable, workflows stay uninterrupted. Operators and teams will spend their time producing and less time waiting. This will result in a higher output.
• Productivity beyond speed
Efficiency is only one part of the story, productivity is another. Imprivata indirectly strengthens the connection between security, productivity and employee experience.
By eliminating password fatigue and authentication frustration, employees will stay focused on their core tasks like production quality and safety. They won’t have to spend headaches over logging in or recovering accounts. At the same time, individual authentication ensures clear traceability. Every action can be linked to the badge of a specific employee. No more compliance headaches. That’s two less headaches to worry about!
This balance between speed and security leads to safer, more confident employees which is the foundation of a productive and resilient organization.
• Compliance and audit readiness
Compliance is never optional in the manufacturing industry. Imprivata provides full visibility into system access. It records who logged in, when, and where. This is like an automated audit trail. Imprivata simplifies investigations and compliance checks, even months after an accident.
By eliminating shared credentials and standardizing authentication, organizations strengthen both security and accountability. When regulators or auditors come calling, the data is there. Clear, consistent and verifiable.
Turning access into an advantage
With Imprivata, manufacturers can implement a digital access strategy that scales across users, devices, and environments, eliminating workflow friction, boosting uptime, and building trust between IT and operations.
Because when every second counts, fast, secure access isn’t just an IT improvement, it’s a productivity and efficiency boost.
