Case Study: Steinwall Scientific, Inc achieves real-time visibility and streamlined operations with DELMIAworks

A Pursuit Spanning Decades Results in a Lasting Partnership for the Future

Steinwall Scientific is a precision thermoplastic molder in St. Paul, Minn., with a 45+ year history of tight‑tolerance, high‑cosmetic molding. Rapid growth exposed limits in its home‑grown DOS system (“Putty”) and a separate IBM accounting package: the disconnected, outdated tools were error‑prone, inflexible and unable to support modern inventory, BOM and production needs.

After evaluating options and briefly using MISys, Steinwall implemented IQMS EnterpriseIQ as a single‑database ERP, migrating data and rolling out modules gradually. The integrated system improved traceability, inventory control, forecasting and warehouse management, eliminated redundant data entry, and—with RealTime Production Monitoring and SPC—cut supervisor recordkeeping by about 9%, produced 99.5% lot acceptance, raised a customer audit score from 109% to 115% and drove cultural and procedural improvements that position the company for continued growth.
