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

Managing Partner, Josef Neumüller Werkzeugschleiferei GmbH
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.
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.
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.
