Written by mt_admn on 14. December 2021. Posted in Cases.

Customer for the new maintenance MAIN-TOOL solution: Lech-Stahlwerke GmbH
Industry: Steel industry
Number of employees: approx. 700

Initial situation at Lech-Stahlwerke:

Lech-Stahlwerke GmbH had an independent application for maintenance that was not integrated into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The disadvantage of this application was that the data had to be maintained twice.

MAIN-TOOL maintenance solution:

Implementation of MAIN-TOOL both for the central department and for the on-site departments within the production plants.

Added values:

No more duplicate data. Improved overview of the plant structure. Meaningful reports required for ISO certification (e.g. ISO TS16949).

MAIN-TOOL Maintenance made easy – a product of GLI Business Solutions GmbH.

Our efficient MAIN-TOOL maintenance software enables real-time monitoring of machines and systems. Sensors and IoT devices collect data that is analyzed by the software to detect anomalies at an early stage. This makes it possible to quickly identify and rectify problems before major breakdowns occur.

Overall, the use of maintenance software in the steel industry enables better planning, execution and monitoring of machines and systems. This leads to increased availability, a longer service life and thus to an increase in productivity and profitability for companies in this industry.

MAIN-TOOL can be used across all industries and the MAIN-TOOL app is particularly suitable for use on a tablet.

Client: Agrarfrost GmbH & Co. KG
Industry: Food industry
Number of employees: approx. 650

The company is a versatile family business and exists more than 50 years. In addition to the great love of potatoes, it also attaches great importance to a good and open corporate culture, so that all employees feel completely satisfied. But Agrarfrost does not only have a high responsibility towards its employees – also the products from the food sector are subject to a high responsibility. For this reason, maintenance is one of the top priorities.

In the state-of-the-art processing plants, 600,000t of the best potatoes are processed each year into French fries, croquettes, potato pancakes or another potato product. Sustainable and ecological action is therefore an integral part of the company’s philosophy.

Agrarfrost GmbH initial situation:

The company Agrarfrost did not have a unified IT in the technical warehouse. Therefore no value of goods. Undocumented withdrawals from the warehouse made it difficult to trace in which departments and on which machines the spare parts were used.

MAIN-TOOL solution:

Implementation of MAIN-TOOL Mobile for recording and evaluating stocks (goods receipts, goods issues and stock transfers) and the correct assignment of spare parts to maintenance tasks.

Added values:

Standardization and simplification of complete warehousing. As a result: new possibilities in the cooperation between maintenance and purchasing.

A further 401 people are employed by almost 40 contractors. Of the total of 330 vehicles used, 139 are the company’s own vehicles.

Following the current development of electric buses and those with fuel cells as a drive source with interest, and “automated driving” and the ordering of bus journeys via cell phone app independently of the timetable, known as “bus-on-demand”, are also in MVG’s focus. MVG is already involved in two areas of application in close cooperation with science and industry: In Iserlohn (a-BUS – New Mobility Lab) and in Meinerzhagen (on-demand transportation).

Challenge for MAIN-TOOL at MVG:

Liberalization of local public transport
Resulting need for structural changes in the company
Mapping of workshops with maintenance of the vehicle fleet and infrastructure

Added value:

With MAIN-TOOL, MVG was able to integrate company divisions. Thanks to optimized processes, there were increases in profitability and savings.

MAIN-TOOL at IOI

Initial situation at IOI Oleochemical before MAIN-TOOL was introduced:

Mr. Orzessek and Mrs. Rehwinkel have been working for many years in the technical department of a chemical park in Witten. SAP was used there until February 2012. The sale of the oleochemistry division at the Witten site, from Sasol to Cremer Oleo, led to a change in the ERP system. SAP was replaced by Navision on 01.07.2012. At this point, MAIN-TOOL came into conversation. Walter Rau was chosen as the reference company by word of mouth. Here the employees of the technical department and the IT department looked at the MAIN-TOOL maintenance solution and decided on it. Thanks to the competence of GLI project manager Nils Brockmüller, the changeover was completed within three months. Employees who had previously worked in SAP found all the points easily. In 2016 another company change took place and IOI Oleo decided to continue working with Navision and MAIN-TOOL.

MAIN-TOOL – easy to use.

Primary reasons for looking for a maintenance system:

Legal requirements, deadline tracking, work equipment and system monitoring were previously tracked in SAP and during the company transition phase with the aid of an Access database. In the future, these lists were to be handled uniformly in the ERP system. Maintenance is not integrated in NAV and so MAIN-TOOL, a future-oriented niche solution for maintenance, was found.

A transfer of the company from Sasol to Cremer Oleo added a second production site: Wittenberge. MAIN-TOOL will be completely introduced here: Interfaces for purchasing, sales management, budget management and bid preparation have to be set up. “It was exciting to teach our colleagues a completely new programme. Thanks to Nils Brockmüller, GLI project manager: “The program was implemented quickly”.

Employees in Wittenberge use Click-View for information data management. Key users for the departments make MAIN-TOOL available to the employees with technical instruction.

Why did you choose MAIN-TOOL?

For the user, NAV with MAIN-TOOL is easier to operate than SAP and the reference Walter Rau was convincing. For the employees MAIN-TOOL is very convenient, even for those who have not previously worked with SAP. “Everyone got to grips with it very quickly”.

Significant improvements have been achieved with MAIN-TOOL:

MAIN-TOOL simplifies the monitoring of equipment requiring inspection. Furthermore the hard work of entering the article characteristics in advance leads to a more accurate overall result. Maintenance becomes clearer, simpler.

Job requests also can be added to MAIN-TOOL documentation. Thanks to MAIN-TOOL, this is now used at IOI Oleo.

“Orders are recorded by MAIN-TOOL “mega-fast”.”

Areas of MAIN-TOOL:

During the introduction, some adjustments were made based on SAP.

Processed with MAIN-TOOL:

Fault orders
Recurrent measures
Budget management
Integration into Purchasing
IOI Oleo works in batch mode, i.e. in the event of malfunctions or recurring tests, individual plant components can be taken out of operation.

To be expanded in the future:

Management of spare parts / warehousing
Order requests for malfunction reports
Mobility is planned, mobile fault management.
The future also lies in the laboratory, in the testing and calibration of analytical equipment. In the preliminary phase, however, an IT structure / plant tree must be created.
In the area of analytical data, WAGO technology will also be addressed in the long term. Control integration is not an issue for the time being.
Predictive maintenance: Derive statistics from the history and use them for maintenance – another topic for the future.
