Case Study: SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG achieves greater transparency and lower maintenance effort with PSI Software's PSIpenta/ERP and MES

How SSM connects data and processes with PSIpenta/ERP and MES

SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG, a manufacturer of precision winding machines, faced challenges in managing its global manufacturing, logistics, and service processes across its three plants in Switzerland, Italy, and China. They needed to harmonize operations, improve data transparency, and create a more future-proof and maintainable system architecture. To address this, the company worked with vendor PSI Software to migrate their existing PSIpenta/ERP and MES system to a new version.

PSI Software implemented a migration to PSIpenta/ERP 10, moving the system to a modern Java platform. This involved replacing numerous individual VBA programs with standard functions and updatable Groovy scripts, and using PSIpenta/Multisite to centrally control master data and orders for all locations. The result was a future-proof system architecture that significantly reduced maintenance effort, eliminated redundant data entries, and increased operational transparency across all international plants, allowing for immediate and seamless updates across the entire organization.
