2 What is a Software ERP Solution?

Enterprise Resource PlanningERP is usually referred to as a category of business management software —typically a suite of fully integrated applications an organization can use to collect, store, manage and interpret data from their business activities (Ref. Wikipedia)

Not every software solution is a true ERP solution

ERP solutions are based on an completely integrated central database

Real-time and flawless exchange of information between business areas

ERP software will help companies to automate and streamline processes between the different departments

ERP systems have to be constantly developed further

Buzzwords are:

Enterprise Resource Planning - How can it help?

constant INNOVATION, AUTOMATION and INTEGRATION

3 What is Innovation/Automation/Integration?

Innovation is the process of making

something better by use of new and original

ideas.Innovation is considered the process of

translating an idea or invention into a

product or service that creates value for

which customers will pay

(ref. BusinessDictionary)

To be called an innovation, an idea must be

replicable at an economical cost and must

satisfy a specific need

Automation is the act of applying

control systems to reduce labor,

increase raw material usage and

improve quality by repeatable work

methods.

Automation is further advanved through

continuous innovation.

Automation is changing the landscape

of manufacturing

(->smart factories)

Integration coordinates the

activity of the islands of automation

created by the many talented machinery

and system vendors.

Integration enables you to get the

most out of money spent on

machinery and software and the

maximum profit for your

business.

Integration means a seamless

workflow.

By deeply integrating and interconnecting

machinery and software in a factory a

complete view of materials, status of all

processes can be available to anyone at any

time

The winners will be those who understand

the value of integration across functions,

departments and processes.

Integrated ERP software ties it all together

Integrated ERP software is closing the gaps and eliminating island solutions

Integrated ERP software is ensuring that data is collected and usedat every single point

Integrated ERP software will automate your factory, will make it a Smart Factory

4 How can integrated Software help?

The production floor is completely

integrated into the overall factory

automation with a minimum of

disruption to the existing

processes.

The complete networking of machinery,

software but also people offers new

production environments and is the

vision

of the future.

5 Smart Factory – Industry 4.0 (Internet of Things)

It is the current trend of automation

and data exchange in manufacturing

technologies

Use this information in both ways

and influence your planning

strategies

Both software and machinery

suppliers must provide open

architecture to enable this type of

communication and integration

DEVELOPMENT PHASES FROM INDUSTRY 1.0 TO INDUSTRY 4.0

1. 2. 3. 4.

First Industrial Revolution: steam power makes mechanical production possible(Late 18th century)

Second Industrial Revolution: electric energy makes mass production possible(Beginning of the 20th century)

Third Industrial Revolution: IT and computer technology allow for more manufacturing automation(Beginning of the 1970s)

Fourth Industrial Revolution: Internet of Things makes networked manufacturing possible(Since the 21st century)

▪ individual customer requirements

▪ flexible production

▪ relief to employees – work-life balance

▪ new value: new B2B services

▪ increased competiveness

▪ identifying and developing productivity and resource efficiency

▪ handling new national and global challenges

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

▪ lack of data protection

▪ easy manipulation of remote manufacturing systems

▪ a disadvantage for rural areas is the lack of broadband connections

▪ continuous provision and maintenance of necessary infrastructures

▪ high and expensive technical standards

▪ additional requirement for employees (IT know-how)
