Location: 48268 Greven, Germany · Industry: Plastics processing, packaging, injection moulding, industrial components · Products: Plastic components, technical injection moulded parts, hose and pneumatic technology, operating supplies · ERP: Alphaplan · Website: https://www.carlnolte.de/ · S4P modules: 4AVO, 4APS, 4BDE

Initial situation

Carl Nolte Technik GmbH develops and manufactures products for hose and pneumatic technology as well as operating supplies with around 50 employees. Plastic components, technical injection moulded parts and pneumatic accessories are produced in variant-rich order manufacturing. In plastics processing, reliable production data and transparent manufacturing control are decisive for on-time delivery, quality and operational efficiency. Work preparation, fine planning and shop-floor feedback were to be integrated into a seamless end-to-end solution.

Challenge

As a manufacturer of hose and pneumatic technology with variant-rich plastics production and small to medium batch sizes, close interlocking of work preparation, planning and shop-floor feedback was essential. Manual interfaces between work preparation, planning and manufacturing led to information gaps and scheduling risks. The goal was end-to-end digitalisation that incorporates Alphaplan as the leading ERP system and covers all relevant production processes without gaps.

Solution

Carl Nolte Technik GmbH relies on the integrated solutions 4AVO, 4APS and 4BDE from S4P, fully integrated with the ERP system Alphaplan by CVS. This links work preparation, production planning and shop-floor data collection end-to-end, so that the entire production is controlled and transparently mapped by S4P from a single source. Orders, operations, capacities and feedback interlock seamlessly, creating a reliable basis for efficient, plannable and responsive manufacturing processes.

Results and benefits

Through the integrated deployment of 4AVO, 4APS and 4BDE in conjunction with Alphaplan, Carl Nolte Technik benefits from end-to-end and transparent control of the entire production. Coordination between work preparation, planning and manufacturing improved significantly, manual interfaces were reduced and data quality sustainably increased. The company gains greater planning reliability, higher on-time delivery rates and more efficient production control – from work preparation through to shop-floor feedback.
