挑战
L.D. Davis was previously functioning on disparate systems, a combination of SAGE CRM, homegrown software and paper and pencil documentation/ tracking. Specifically, production scheduling was handwritten which was time consuming and prone to errors. As a made-to-order manufacturer, they needed the ability to track product formulation to provide quality metrics and traceability for their customers. The company’s unique ability to bid on distressed materials required a system that compares use of these materials with the purchase of regular raw materials. Lack of visibility by stakeholders throughout the company prohibited a clear picture of processes, inventory and customer orders.
关于客户

They pride themselves on industry-leading, innovative products that provide the best quality protein, hot melt and water-based adhesives for their customers. Their mission is to “build life-long bonds” with customers, vendors and employees.
解决方案
L.D. Davis selected ProcessPro’s fully integrated ERP solution to bring together all areas of manufacturing, as well as unite different geographical locations of their business. They based their purchasing decision on ProcessPro’s ability to support adhesive manufacturers with their industry specific software, as demonstrated by their long-time success implementing to batch process manufacturers. In addition, L.D. Davis desired a true business partner to grow with their company and support their business goals. In 2016, L.D. Davis implemented ProcessPro’s ERP software which enabled them to track all areas of production within one system and offered the ability to share information among stakeholders, increasing visibility within the organization.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
