Case Study: Gabriel-Chemie achieves faster, higher-quality production with proALPHA ERP

GABRIEL-CHEMIE Group - Customer Case Study

Gabriel-Chemie Group, an Austrian producer of specialized masterbatches for the plastics industry, required a solution to manage its complex production of thousands of custom recipes. The challenge was to significantly reduce costs, increase quality, shorten delivery times, and automate sophisticated processes on the path to Industry 4.0. To address this, the company turned to the vendor proALPHA, implementing its comprehensive ERP solution as a central system for planning and control.

The solution involved deeply integrating proALPHA with production machinery and a Siemens process control system, enabling real-time communication. This allowed for automated, precise weighing and mixing based on digital recipes, as well as the creation of an intelligent packaging system that optimized pallet loading. The measurable results from proALPHA’s implementation were a 20-30% reduction in manufacturing costs, a 70% reduction in delivery times, and a significant increase in product quality, which fueled an annual growth rate far exceeding the industry average.
