Highlights
What was the
initial situation?
Gabriel-Chemie faced the challenge of producing a large number of individual formulations efficiently and without errors. The processes were complex and required a high degree of precision in dosing and mixing. The goal was to increase quality while reducing costs and delivery times.
Why the decision
for Proalpha?
Back in 1999, Gabriel-Chemie selected Proalpha as the system through which to centrally control its complex production processes. The ERP solution offered the flexibility and functionality required by the process industry. Thanks to Proalpha, the company was able to begin its Industry 4.0 journey at an early stage.
How can success be measured?
The success is reflected in concrete figures: delivery times have been reduced by 70 percent and production costs have been cut by up to 30 percent. In addition, Gabriel-Chemie is recording annual sales growth of 8 to 12 percent, well above the industry average.
