Schilt Engineering automates its own business process

First undress completely and then, less ambitiously, get dressed again.

Managing Director Martin Markus of Schilt Engineering emphasizes that the joint effort played a major role in automating the business processes to get where they are today.
Looking back, the manager says that previously far too much was done by hand; things were filled in in two places, so that there was no overview and errors were lurking. The tide turned after several crash actions, tricks and retrenchments. For example, PLM Xpert, implementation partner for PRO.FILE, proposed to completely undress the case first and then dress it back less ambitiously. And that worked. Now the engineers say that PRO.FILE offers structure and “it all goes into the workshop so well”. Now that assignments are no longer delivered as a stack of drawings but digitally on screen, you can see the workshop manager getting more air and grip. In addition, much better feedback is generated from the factory to the office. And the clear article structure, unique codes and spare parts lists exclude errors, and everything runs faster. Markus says: "Someone from outside said recently: “As cleanly as you fill the database, you hardly see it anywhere"."

Schilt Engineering works with Autodesk Inventor (CAD), Ridder iQ (ERP) and PRO.FILE (PDM / PLM).
