Karlsruhe, 11.06.2024 – New machine, new functions: In times of AI and large language models, the range of functions of modern production machines is expanding in record time. However, in order for the continuous innovations to actually result in an increase in efficiency for the overall process, the surrounding IT systems must also be able to take this dynamic into account. At this year’s “World of Tools“, the Hoffmann Group’s in-house exhibition, from June 18 to 20 in Nuremberg, the company’s experts will be demonstrating how Karlsruhe-based ERP specialist Asseco Solutions is creating the basis for precisely this with the latest generation of its APplus solution, thus providing tailored support for the digital production of tomorrow.
Modern machines are becoming increasingly intelligent. By integrating new technologies such as generative AI, they are increasingly able to take over other parts of the process flow independently, from the optimal prioritization of pending orders to the breakdown of the bill of materials. To ensure that such changes in the business process are also accurately reflected in its digital form and that no media disruptions occur or workarounds become necessary, modern ERP solutions must offer options for mapping the ever new process changes without the need for time-consuming and cost-intensive adjustments.
In order to meet this new status quo, APplus 8 offers a user-friendly and clearly structured process view for central company workflows that goes beyond the data-centric approach previously common in the ERP world. The ERP specialist’s experts will be presenting this at the World of Tools 2024. The new flow mode not only enables users to process their daily tasks much more quickly. If, for example, new machines or intelligent systems require the processes to be adapted, the defined process flows can also be modified quickly and easily at configuration level to reflect the change in the system. The underlying ERP standard remains untouched. In this way, APplus 8 offers companies precisely the flexibility they need in the context of dynamic technological development.
ERP power for networked production
APplus also offers comprehensive support for the Hoffmann Group’s “Connected Manufacturing” digital solution specifically for its ecosystem. The latter makes it possible to collect data from machines and production systems in real time and then analyze it in a central software platform. Based on this analysis, companies can then optimize their manufacturing processes, avoid production bottlenecks, monitor quality and increase their efficiency. At World of Tools 2024, interested parties can also find out first-hand how the interaction between connected manufacturing and APplus works in practice and what benefits this brings for customers.
