Haumberger Fertigungstechnik GmbH masters the challenges of modern production through intelligent digitalization and optimized process control.
Thanks to the production of prototypes and special machines, Haumberger Fertigungstechnik GmbH has established itself as a pioneer in the metalworking industry. And by using proALPHA ERP, the company has ushered in a new era of efficiency and precision.
Haumberger Fertigungstechnik GmbH, based in Judenau, Austria, specializes in the production of high-precision components and assemblies for future-oriented sectors such as the aerospace industry and hydrogen technology. Despite small batch sizes of a maximum of 1,000 units per series, the company has largely automated and digitalized its production processes. A central component of this transformation is the ERP solution proALPHA, which has been in use since 2008.
Detailed planning and resource management with APS
At the heart of Haumberger's success is the detailed planning tool Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS). APS optimizes the use of 14 machines and over 30 employees by precisely planning and controlling production orders. This enables flexible and efficient production, even with widely varying part specifications. The host computer software, which is connected to proALPHA, receives the planned production orders and automatically reports back run times, providing real-time data for optimal resource planning.
“Our order books are full and capacity utilization is correspondingly high. Without APS, we would not be able to plan our production efficiently or optimize the use of our resources,” explains Wolfgang Haumberger, founder and Managing Director of Haumberger Fertigungstechnik GmbH. .
Business intelligence for well-founded decisions
The proALPHA Analyzer plays a crucial role in monitoring and analyzing complex data. With its help, controlling can uncover hidden correlations and make well-founded decisions. Scrap and production costs, target/actual evaluations and contribution margins by cost unit and customer are just some of the key figures that are collected and analyzed on a monthly basis. These precise analyses not only support production planning, but also purchasing and supplier evaluation.
“The Analyzer provides us with meaningful reporting so that we can make the right decisions. In addition, we recognize very early on how areas are developing,” reports Manuela Müllner, Head of Finance and Accounting at Haumberger.
Batch tracing and quality assurance
Another advantage of the proALPHA solution is the automated and precise batch tracing. This is particularly essential for customers in the automotive and aviation industries, who often require batch-managed parts and raw materials. The ERP solution ensures that all materials are correctly booked to production orders and listed in the delivery bills. This ensures transparency and traceability, which significantly increases customer satisfaction.
“Batch tracing means we have fewer queries than before,” confirms Müllner. “Our customers are very satisfied with the fact that they have all the necessary information on origin and quality at their fingertips.”
Future-oriented production thanks to proALPHA
With proALPHA, Haumberger has taken a significant step towards the “factory of the future”. The scalable system supports the company's growth and promotes process automation, which continues to make Haumberger a model company in the industry.
The successful integration of proALPHA shows: Digitalization and intelligent process control are revolutionizing efficiency and precision in small batch production. Thanks to the close integration of planning, production and quality assurance, Haumberger remains on course for success and ready for the challenges of the future.
