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.

Transport Management System

Transport Management System

This application acts as the link between the ERP-system and Weener Plastic's Logistics partners. Previously, agreements with carriers were managed outside the system, via email or phone, leading to suboptimal truck loads and costly choices. The new app provides a comprehensive overview of all partners, streamlining carrier selection and facilitating invoice verification.

Dealer Portal

Urban Arrow is a manufacturer of electric cargo bikes in the premium segment. The company sells bikes to individuals and businesses. Urban Arrow had an outdated dealer portal with limited functionality. A new dealer portal was then built in twelve bi-weekly sprints. The portal ensures that sales from the dealer channel are administratively processed in the ERP system. Dealers also gain more insight into product information, delivery times, suitable accessories, and orders and invoice.

Human Resources

For Aartsen, a large internationally operating importer of fresh vegetables and fruits, the 'employee app' was developed, an extremely versatile HR app that bundles a variety of functionalities in a central solution and environment. Before the arrival of this app, communication within the company occurred through different systems that were not optimally integrated. The HR team saves a tremendous amount of time by eliminating many cumbersome, time-consuming, and error-prone manual tasks.

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.
