"SYMESTIC gives us end-to-end real-time transparency that we did not have in this form before. We can react faster, run our processes more reliably and, with a clean data foundation, lay the groundwork for future AI-driven use cases."
Thorsten Manns Technical Director · Schmiedetechnik Plettenberg
Before SYMESTIC, production data was captured mostly manually on paper or in isolated point solutions — with a gap between ERP and shop floor, and correspondingly late reactions to downtime.
In a hands-on workshop directly at the line, the first machine was connected, data points defined and dashboards configured live. Today shop-floor data capture, machine data capture and OEE are integrated bidirectionally with the ERP InforCOM — shift leads and production management see machine lines, shifts and orders in one shared view.
