Case Study: Conzella Präzisionswerkzeuge achieves digital, real-time production planning with Ninox Smart-MES-365

Conzella Präzisionswerkzeuge cuts lead time by 40% with Ninox

Conzella Präzisionswerkzeuge, a Swabian manufacturer of high-quality precision tools, faced challenges with its paper-based and manual production planning. After initial scheduling in its ERP system, detailed sequencing for over 1,700 work orders per month was done manually on printed documents, which were instantly outdated by any changes. This process was error-prone, time-consuming, and made real-time adjustments impossible. The company sought a digital solution to connect its ERP to the shop floor and partnered with vendor Ninox to address this.

Ninox implemented its Smart-MES-365 solution, which acts as a manufacturing execution system. This provided a real-time digital link between the existing ERP and production, enabling digital and paperless sequential planning on a dynamic board. The solution automated order assignment to workplaces and personnel. As a result, Conzella Präzisionswerkzeuge achieved a 40% reduction in lead time and eliminated manual planning processes, with the added benefit of a system that is fully accessible on mobile devices.
