Opitz Packaging Systems, an expert in packaging machines and systems, is a medium-sized company headquartered in Northeim, Lower Saxony. Opitz is one of the leading specialists in the field of automatic processing of wet adhesive tape. Its customers include companies from all over the world. To remain competitive, the company embarked on a new digitalization strategy in 2020.
In line with the introduction of a new ERP system, the strategic parts management ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit was integrated directly into the system. The previsouly predominantly manual design process was modernized and engineers and designers now have direct access to intelligent 3D CAD engineering data.
Opitz´s parts library previously comprised 1.5 million items of data, which first had to be identified and numbered. To get a grip on this amount of data, Opitz decided to use ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit, the software for strategic parts management.
With success: With the help of ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit, an incredible 99% saving was achieved, duplicate or multiple data records were removed.
In addition to the strategic parts management, the need for a drawing finder at Opitz became clear. This enables employees to find drawing data quickly using article numbers and saves them having to search through all drawings manually.
