Case Study: INFICON prepares for expansion and better document control with Columbus and M-Files

INFICON ready for success with Columbus by their side

INFICON, a global manufacturer of instrumentation and sensor technologies, faced a challenge in managing its growing volume of documents across its international operations. With multiple manufacturing sites and a need for strict version control to maintain ISO certification, its old systems were complex and inefficient. Columbus helped the company implement the M-Files document management system to establish a new foundation for control and support future expansion.

The solution from Columbus involved a pilot implementation of M-Files, which introduced features like a "best before" date to automatically flag documents for updating or archiving. This ensured employees only access current versions, preventing costly errors. With Columbus's guidance, INFICON is laying the groundwork for success, with plans to roll out the system to its Åland site to manage hundreds of governing documents and forms, preparing the company for further international growth.
