The project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PG Austria’s<\/strong> production facility in Kapfenberg is an important location for the manufacturing of designer and decorative radiators in round and flat tube format. Markets throughout Europe – from Germany to Poland and Hungary – are supplied from here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key concern was to further increase<\/strong> efficiency and flexibility<\/strong> in production. The solution: the integration of autfactory, our production optimization software<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Walter Haas, Plant Manager in Kapfenberg, decided to introduce autfactory in order to further advance the digitalization of the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim was to store target data and actual data and to digitalize the employees’ knowledge so that this information could be accessed at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest challenge during the project was seamlessly connecting the software to PG Austria’s existing ERP system. Together with AUTFORCE, a customized solution<\/strong> was developed: a special interface via the database that enables smooth communication between the systems. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

Increase in system availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A decisive advantage for Walter Haas was the increased system availability. As many of the systems are already somewhat older, it was of the utmost importance to maximize the uptime of the machines. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stability and flexibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The software has further increased the stability of the systems, and the company now has a solution which, thanks to its open interfaces and flexible user interface, can also be easily adapted and expanded in the future.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n
