Case Study: DEK Printing Machines achieves faster, global manufacturing efficiency with CrescentOne

Glovia Triggers DEK’s Entire Manufacturing Process

DEK Printing Machines Ltd., a Dover Technologies company, designs and manufactures precision screen‑printing systems for the electronics assembly market and operates a card‑driven Kanban JIT system at its Weymouth, UK site. Facing the need for an ERP that would fit around its manufacturing processes, provide fast implementation and resolve critical millennium‑compliance issues with legacy systems, DEK selected CrescentOne to deliver an enterprise solution tailored to those requirements.

CrescentOne implemented a modular ERP suite (covering sales order, billing, sales analysis, purchasing, master production scheduling and work orders) that made a customer order the trigger for the entire manufacturing process — from buying and inventory control through assembly, configuration, shipping and invoicing. The CrescentOne solution improved traceability and global visibility of parts and orders across DEK’s international sites, sped order‑to‑commissioning cycles, and enabled more responsive international support, helping DEK become faster, sharper and easier to deal with.
