A little better every day – CIP with MES

Transforming a traditional artisan business into a modern industrial enterprise is a major challenge. The management of Krenhof AG from Styria has mastered this task with flying colors. Through foresight, a clever business strategy and a focus on its own strengths, the forge was able to adapt its product portfolio to new markets and customers, as well as increase the number of its employees from 117 to over 280. PROXIA’s MES-Software helps the company to gain full transparency over production and to achieve CIP in manufacturing with the right action management – every day a bit better on track to lower-error, faster and leaner processes for sustainable maintenance of competitiveness.

“The PROXIA MES solution consisting of MDE, BDE and ETKS ensures a digital information flow and objective data in our production. The continuous improvement process is noticeable in figures: Through active action management, we were able to reduce our setup times by 40%.”
