Manufacturing Menu

Do you want to work with Mendix to move optimally and flexibly with current developments? Then it is advisable to view Mendix from a broad perspective and determine whether and how the technology can become a permanent part of your IT architecture. In this way, instead of just a 'point solution' (a solution for one specific pain point), it becomes a basis for working faster, smarter and more efficiently across the board. To get the most out of Mendix and to give you an overview of the possibilities, Emixa has put together a special manufacturing menu for production companies. Time to take a closer look.

BOM Comparison

NTS, a leader in (opto)mechatronic systems for OEMs, faced a critical challenge: misalignment between their Bill of Materials (BoM) in Teamcenter and parts procurement in Navision. This led to discrepancies and manual cross-referencing, consuming up to a day of an engineer's time.

The solution was a Mendix app seamlessly integrated with Teamcenter and Navision. This app not only compared BoM structures but generated insightful reports on data governance and inconsistencies. Engineers used the first report to link incorrect parts between Navision and Teamcenter. Other reports streamlined the creation of new parts and BoM adjustments in Navision.

The impact was remarkable. What once took up to 50 days for an engineer was now accomplished in just one. Manual errors were minimized, and efficiency soared.
