Menzel announces transition to digital order management
June 19, 2019 - Menzel Elektromotoren has transferred to digital order management. As a result, the manufacturer of large industrial motors is working to shorten its response times and improve the quality of operational processes, whilst creating transparency through a unified data base, which is available to every employee in real time. From product inquiries to manufacturing processes and intralogistics, all data is now entered and transmitted electronically.
Using the latest Human Interface (HID) tablet computers, staff can instantly document production progress, order material via an ERP interface, and access a comprehensive archive of technical drawings, checklists, guidelines, and manuals. By scanning the QR code on a drive system, employees and customers can access associated documentation at any time. Technical documentation for the customer can be automatically generated in up to seven languages, thanks to a translation program especially implemented for Menzel. Time-consuming data synchronization and media disruption have been effectively eliminated.
Paperless data transfer and direct, automatic plausibility checks of inputs have work to improve data quality. Each production step is tracked and monitored, which increases in house transparency and process integrity. Standardized, user-friendly processes as well as efficient information flows lay the basis for this.
