AGTOS GmbH awards PSI with contract to implement an ERP system

PSIpenta controls processes and connects sites in Germany and Poland

Berlin, 15 November 2017 – PSI subsidiary PSI Automotive & Industry GmbH has been contracted by the Emsdetten based AGTOS “Gesellschaft für technische Oberflächensysteme mbH” with the implementation of the new ERP system PSIpenta version 9. PSIpenta will replace a system developed internally that the company has used since its founding.

In the future, PSIpenta will connect two corporate sites in Germany and Poland with one another, control and support cross-company logistic processes in distribution, production and service of shot blasting machines.

Along with PSIpenta, the scope of delivery includes the modules shipping and cost calculation, PSIfinance as well as the operating data and personnel time-tracking components from the manufacturing execution system (MES) palette. PSI’s variant manager, with an integrated product configurator, will be used to handle AGTOS’s wide-ranging product business. The integrated solution will be rounded off by the data warehouse/business intelligence (DWH/BI).

In a classical selection process, PSI was able to assert itself with its PSIpenta ERP system as an integrative solution. The deep understanding for the production-typical requirements of a plant manufacturer was decisive. Technologically, PSI was especially convincing with its processes for multisite control. In the future, complex manufacturing processes can be organised with the site in Poland, consolidated in a single view and then compiled with a company-wide cost calculation.

The inclusion of the second site in Poland with the consolidating view of various, complex procurement, production and logistics processes possessed a high priority right from the start. Along with PSIpenta’s classical ERP standard, competence, ability to find solutions and user-friendliness were decisive factors. With the PSI java-based framework with the new PSI Click Design, PSI users can intuitively design and combine the interface themselves.

AGTOS Gesellschaft für technische Oberflächensysteme mbH was founded in 2001 and offers shot blasting machines that are tailored to meet the needs of their customers. The company employees a staff of 170, has a modern production site in Poland and an extensive warehouse at its headquarters in Emsdetten.

On the basis of its own software products, PSI Group develops and integrates complete solutions for energy management (energy networks, energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,650 persons worldwide.
