2 What is a Software ERP Solution?
Enterprise Resource PlanningERP is usually referred to as a category of business management software —typically a suite of fully integrated applications an organization can use to collect, store, manage and interpret data from their business activities (Ref. Wikipedia)
Not every software solution is a true ERP solution
ERP solutions are based on an completely integrated central database
Real-time and flawless exchange of information between business areas

ERP software will help companies to automate and streamline processes between the different departments
ERP systems have to be constantly developed further
Buzzwords are:
Enterprise Resource Planning - How can it help?
constant INNOVATION, AUTOMATION and INTEGRATION
3 What is Innovation/Automation/Integration?
Innovation is the process of making
something better by use of new and original
ideas.Innovation is considered the process of
translating an idea or invention into a
product or service that creates value for
which customers will pay
(ref. BusinessDictionary)
To be called an innovation, an idea must be
replicable at an economical cost and must
satisfy a specific need
Automation is the act of applying
control systems to reduce labor,
increase raw material usage and
improve quality by repeatable work
methods.
Automation is further advanved through
continuous innovation.
Automation is changing the landscape
of manufacturing
(->smart factories)
Integration coordinates the
activity of the islands of automation
created by the many talented machinery
and system vendors.
Integration enables you to get the
most out of money spent on
machinery and software and the
maximum profit for your
business.
Integration means a seamless
workflow.
By deeply integrating and interconnecting
machinery and software in a factory a
complete view of materials, status of all
processes can be available to anyone at any
time
The winners will be those who understand
the value of integration across functions,
departments and processes.
Integrated ERP software ties it all together
Integrated ERP software is closing the gaps and eliminating island solutions
Integrated ERP software is ensuring that data is collected and usedat every single point
Integrated ERP software will automate your factory, will make it a Smart Factory
4 How can integrated Software help?
The production floor is completely
integrated into the overall factory
automation with a minimum of
disruption to the existing
processes.
The complete networking of machinery,
software but also people offers new
production environments and is the
vision
of the future.
5 Smart Factory – Industry 4.0 (Internet of Things)
It is the current trend of automation
and data exchange in manufacturing
technologies
Use this information in both ways
and influence your planning
strategies
Both software and machinery
suppliers must provide open
architecture to enable this type of
communication and integration
DEVELOPMENT PHASES FROM INDUSTRY 1.0 TO INDUSTRY 4.0
1. 2. 3. 4.
First Industrial Revolution: steam power makes mechanical production possible(Late 18th century)
Second Industrial Revolution: electric energy makes mass production possible(Beginning of the 20th century)
Third Industrial Revolution: IT and computer technology allow for more manufacturing automation(Beginning of the 1970s)
Fourth Industrial Revolution: Internet of Things makes networked manufacturing possible(Since the 21st century)
▪ individual customer requirements
▪ flexible production
▪ relief to employees – work-life balance
▪ new value: new B2B services
▪ increased competiveness
▪ identifying and developing productivity and resource efficiency
▪ handling new national and global challenges
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
▪ lack of data protection
▪ easy manipulation of remote manufacturing systems
▪ a disadvantage for rural areas is the lack of broadband connections
▪ continuous provision and maintenance of necessary infrastructures
▪ high and expensive technical standards
▪ additional requirement for employees (IT know-how)
