A proALPHA Case Study
Wipotec, a German manufacturer of precision weighing and inspection systems, faced the challenge of managing complex, mixed-mode production that combined high-volume series manufacturing with customized project business. The company needed a central, flexible ERP system to ensure maximum delivery reliability, shorten lead times, and support its rapid international expansion. To address this, they implemented the proALPHA ERP system, including its Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) module.
The proALPHA solution provided a unified platform to manage all sales, purchasing, and production processes, efficiently mapping both serial production and individual customer projects. This allowed Wipotec to achieve shorter delivery times, maintain high on-time delivery rates crucial for its global clients, and quickly adapt to new business segments. The system’s real-time analytics also provided greater transparency for management, supporting the company’s significant growth, including a 30% increase in production in 2015.
