PackSys Global designs, builds, and sells machines for the manufacture of aluminum tubes and cans as well as laminate and plastic tubes. Agile’s product lifecycle management (PLM) offering provides centralized data management for all of the company’s locations, and replaces previous proprietary software. For PackSys Global, this will speed up the processing of orders and new projects, and improve product development times in the long term.
Employees at the manufacturer’s locations in Switzerland and India are expected to benefit from the higher data quality provided by the Agile PLM product.
It is extremely important to us that we are able to manage all product-related data from a central location. Agile PLM offers our employees a single solution for storing, viewing, and combining product-specific data. The standard database simplifies processes in project management and therefore speeds up the development of new products, explained Maurice Fehlmann, information and knowledge management manager at PackSys Global. We believe that the gains we are getting from the Agile PLM solution give us a competitive advantage.
An additional advantage of the Agile PLM solution is the option of integrating the system with other company software such as databases and enterprise resource planning technology. The automatic handover of items and bills of material functions smoothly and makes it easier to procure spare parts and materials.
