Precision and efficiency in every part of your manufacturing company
Precision and efficiency in every part of your manufacturing companyThe digital common thread: An imperative part of your digital transformation
Are your company’s departments truly working together, or do they often feel disconnected? Is important information easily accessible across teams? Unfortunately, the answer is often “no.” When departments operate in silos, functioning independently, it creates a range of challenges that hinder productivity and collaboration.
An integrated workflow can bridge these gaps. For instance, work instructions from engineering can flow seamlessly into production, ensuring smoother transitions. Automated processes can efficiently convert engineering Bills of Materials (BoM) into production BoMs, saving time and reducing errors. Additionally, version control systems help keep product versions synchronized, ensuring everyone stays aligned.
With the right tools, guidance, and strategy, we help manufacturers with:
Ever-increasing product complexity
One of the increasing market demands is the need for customizations. This creates more product configurations and increases your complexity. With an integrated set-up, you become able to manage this complexity efficiently.
Reducing time-to-market
The speed of which technology, products etc. evolve is only increasing. Therefore your time-to-market will have a big impact on your customers experience. By connecting your design and manufacturing processes you can decrease your time-to-market.
Supply chain proximity and security
Making sure you always have the right raw materials available, while keeping your inventory level low, can be challenging. Integrated business applications, you support you in keeping the balance - and notify you when a change of plans is needed.
Evolution of business models
Many manufacturing companies experience an evolution in their business model. It can be the evolvement of a pay-per-use model, a bigger focus on spare part production and offering service agreements.
Cost optimization
Increasing customer expectations and rising prices makes is a challenging combination when you want to keep your costs under control. With the right tools, you can become able to adapt your design.
Green manufacturing
Your company's footprint is both affected by your direct and indirect actions - how do you e.g. take a raw material's CO2 footprint into account in your purchasing process? This is just one example of situations, where the right internal system should support your business processes.
