GIB S&D GmbH

Case study ZF Friedrichshafen: The GIB Suite supports ZF, one of the world's leading technology groups in driveline and chassis technology, in demand- and inventory-optimized controlling. In addition, the solution makes a significant contribution to achieving transparency across countries and plants, which allows the entire company to be optimally controlled.

Case study Reichle & De-Massari: For manufacturers of connectivity solutions who produce in different production sides around the world, transparency is indispensable. Only with the necessary overview of the respective planning situations it is possible to ideally coordinate supply chain processes and make decisions more quickly. For this reason R&M, developer and supplier of high-quality infrastructure solutions for data and communication networks, relies on the SAP-based supply chain software from ifm.

Case study BHS Corrugated: To ensure that inventory is always aligned with demand and that all goods are in the right place at the right time, the machine and plant manufacturer looked for a supporting solution – and found it. In 2020, the existing system was successfully expanded to include ifm's SAP-based controlling solution. With the help of the software, BHS has succeeded, among other things, in demonstrably reducing inventories, improving attention to detail and increasing profits.

Case study ifm electronic: For the production of IO-Link sensors for Industry 4.0, the supplier of innovative automation and digitalization solutions relies on placement machines from FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH. The FUJI machines form the basis for the condition-based maintenance of the placement heads introduced at ifm. This was implemented with the help of Shop Floor Integration (SFI). By using the software solution, more efficient and plannable maintenance and servicing can be carried out. In this way, downtimes and set-up times are minimized.

Case study KARL MAYER: By using ifm's GIB software, the textile machine manufacturer has succeeded in improving its daily business enormously. The creation of uniform standards in scheduling has made a significant contribution to increasing transparency throughout the group. In addition, inventory planning has been optimized - especially with regard to missing parts, which can now be identified at an early stage or avoided with foresight.

Case study CLAAS: In order to be able to react agilely to the increasingly complex market conditions with solid supply chain processes, the internationally active agricultural machinery manufacturer relies on ifm's controlling and operations software. This supports the triggering of demand and inventory-optimized orders. In addition, it ensures transparency across all plants, which enables ideal control of the entire company. Any material bottlenecks can thus be identified in good time and countermeasures can be initiated at an early stage. The software also ensures that the increasingly complex material requirements planning can still be handled by the existing team.
