MANROLAND WEB PRODUCTION OPTIMIZES SMART FACTORY OPERATIONS WITH FELIOS

With over 170 years of experience in printing press manufacturing, manroland web produktionsgesellschaft mbH (mrwp) is now a highly digitized smart factory.

One key piece of its Industry 4.0 strategy is the FELIOS production planning tool from Aachen-based optimization specialist INFORM, which has been digitalizing the company’s entire production and procurement processes since 2019.  

Thanks to FELIOS, mrwp has steadily increased its service rate from 75% to 85–90% and improved on-time delivery performance.

INITIAL SITUATION

"We previously used a different production planning system in conjunction with the ERP system from SAP. FELIOS replaced it after support for the previous solution was discontinued. What sets FELIOS apart is the transparency it provides – and the ability to flexibly filter planning parameters."

Michael Leitenmaier, Project Manager Digital Technologies, manroland web production
STIWA Group Produktion

Within less than a year, mrwp successfully implemented modules for shift and employee scheduling, as well as for production planning and control – all with close support from INFORM.

FELIOS acts as an add-on to the existing ERP system. FELIOS draws on SAP data to calculate the optimal production sequence, taking into account all available resources and capacities, and feeds the results back into the ERP system.

THE RESULT

“FELIOS serves us the data on a silver platter. It is a high-performance advanced planning and scheduling system (APS), optimally inter-locks processes, shortens throughput times and increases efficiency and productivity.”

Michael Leitenmaier, Project Manager Digital Technologies, manroland web production
