Case Study: ANDRITZ Metals accelerates engineering and order processing with CONTACT Software CIM Database

ANDRITZ METALS designs complex project processes efficiently and flexibly with CIM Database and accelerates development

The customer, Andritz Metals, a business area of the ANDRITZ GROUP specializing in plants and systems for the metal industry, faced challenges in managing complex project processes between design and order processing. They needed to ensure consistency across multiple CAD systems and handle intricate internal release processes and customer-specific documentation. They partnered with CONTACT Software to address these challenges using the CIM Database PLM platform.

The solution from CONTACT Software involved implementing multi-CAD data management and lean processes for master data and BOM management. This included comprehensive change and release management and synchronization with the company's SAP system. The results were a significant acceleration of both design and order processing, improved process efficiency, and procurement advantages through the ability to release individual BOM items, allowing Andritz Metals to deliver complex projects more flexibly and effectively.
