“We are machine builders. And we are bakers.” With this statement, WP Kemper sums up how it earns its daily bread: by building systems for baked goods. For more than 100 years, the company has been developing, building, installing, and servicing machines and systems for artisan bakeries as well as industrial production facilities.
“When planning a system that takes three months to build, I can now see in advance whether we are on schedule. If, for example, parts delivery is delayed, the deadline adjusts automatically. Customer acceptance dates (FATs) can now be planned before assembly even begins.”
To implement its high level of production expertise efficiently, the company relies on strong digital support. INFORM provides this through its software, underpinned by deep industry knowledge: with decision-intelligent optimization algorithms and extensive experience in mechanical engineering, the Aachen-based expert ensures smooth resource planning at WP Kemper. Since 2020, WP Kemper has relied on FELIOS | PM to plan its production systems for donuts – made for industrial use, delivered worldwide. As a result, productivity has increased by around 7% compared to the previous year, and on-time delivery has consistently remained above 90 percent.
“We are thoroughly satisfied with FELIOS | PM. Whatever we need, INFORM delivers – even if it's technically demanding. Going forward, we’ll automate both project and personnel planning using further intelligence within FELIOS | PM. That means the software will suggest how to plan all projects most effectively and fully utilize our capacities.
The AI behind it is still in its infancy, but early prototypes are already in place,” concludes Gunske. “So now, We kemper it also applies to the IT processes behind our machines.”
