    “We're ‘naming' the tools. That’s why we can process customer orders paperlessly and efficiently.”

    Highlights

    Tool identification via data matrix saves time and paper

    Each tool is given a unique ID via laser marking, allowing the entire production process to be controlled paperlessly and efficiently.

    Complaints are processed 30% faster and more efficiently

    Thanks to clear traceability via the ID number, sources of error can be quickly identified and complaints handled effectively.

    Generate follow-up orders with a single click

    By linking the tool ID with master and order data, identical follow-up orders for existing customers can be created directly and quickly.

    What was the initial situation?

    Neumüller faced the challenge of efficiently manufacturing complex products with short delivery times and many price variants.
    The processes were paper-based, prone to errors, and did not offer sufficient transparency.
    Customer-specific requirements often could not be reliably taken into account.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha offered the opportunity to create an Industry 4.0 platform that seamlessly connects manufacturing and ERP. The solution enabled unique identification of each tool and digital control of all processes. A fully integrated solution was implemented in collaboration with the implementation partner.

    How can success be measured?

    The complaint rate fell by around 30% thanks to improved traceability. Follow-up orders can be created much more quickly and without errors. The entire production process is now transparent, paperless, and efficient.

    Proalpha Benefits

    Consistent transparency in the manufacturing process

    Proalpha enables seamless tracking of all production steps and provides clarity on the current status of each tool.

    Error minimization through digital documentation

    Drawings, notes, and changes are directly linked to the tool, which prevents errors and ensures that customer requirements are reliably met.

    Efficient integration of external partners

    External service providers such as coaters are also fully integrated into the process via Proalpha, including automatic delivery notes and plausibility checks.
