Berlin, 27 January 2015 – The PSI subsidiary PSIPENTA Software Systems GmbH has been contracted by the automobile supplier Schlote Holding GmbH with the delivery of the PSIpenta ERP suite as well as MES modules in Chinese. The implementation of the ERP systems is occurring in connection with Schlote’s expansion to China and the opening of a plant in Tianjin. In an additional step, the planned system structure is to be introduced in all the Schlote plants and companies.
For the purpose of obtaining maximum process automation, along with the ERP system, MES modules such as operational data recording (ODR), control room, employee time recording (ETR), a solution for voucher-less material flow using PSIpenta/Industrial Apps (from ordering warehouse to shipping) will be implemented. The new production site in the Chinese city of Tianjin will be connected with the support of the multisite controlling system PSIpenta/Multisite and administered centrally from Germany. The communication to customers and suppliers will be performed via Edifact- and VDA messaging formats from the Supply Chain Management module.
In the current system architecture of the Schlote Group the PSIpenta ERP suite is running at the sites Harsum, Brandenburg, Wernigerode and Uherské Hradiště (Czech Republic). Presently, the ERP system is being implemented at the Saarbrücken site. The plants are all interconnected using PSIpenta/Multisite.
The PSI Group has had offices in Beijing and Shanghai in China since 2004. PSIPENTA has already accompanied other German companies in their expansion to China and obtained Chinese companies such as the CSR Group as customers. Along with the on-site support, the companies profit from the multisite control with PSIpenta/Multisite, the UNICODE capability that also offers a Chinese language version as well as country-specific adjustments in the software products.
The SCHLOTE Group, founded in 1969, is headquartered in Harsum near Hildesheim and employs about 1200 persons at six plants that are specialised in various segments of automobile parts. The production lines are set up for small, medium and large series, but also offer customised manufacturing and prototyping.
On the basis of its own software products, PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions for energy management (gas, oil, electricity, heat, energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,700 persons worldwide.
