Case Study: SICK cuts disruption response time from days to hours with Z2Data

SICK cuts disruption response from days to hours with Z2Data

SICK, a global producer of sensors and sensor solutions, faced a significant challenge in managing supply chain disruptions. After an earthquake in Taiwan caused a multi-day struggle to assess risk for thousands of parts, Resilience Part Manager Martin Linow recognized the need for a better solution. The company began searching for a supply chain risk management tool to improve visibility and response times, ultimately selecting the Z2Data platform.

By implementing Z2Data's Supply Chain Watch and Part Risk Manager, SICK gained rapid, granular insights into its supply chain. The results were transformative: disruption assessment time was slashed from several days to just a few hours. The solution provided over 85% parts coverage immediately, which later increased to nearly 100%, and allowed the team to focus on fewer than 50 critical parts during an event instead of thousands. Z2Data enabled a proactive and confident approach to risk management.
