挑战
Euro Caps 是一家领先的咖啡制造商,由于快速增长,在管理其业务流程方面面临着挑战。该公司现有的电子邮件和电子表格流程已无法满足其生产的商品数量和扩大的员工队伍的需求。员工通过电子邮件共享电子表格和文档,导致同一文件有多个版本。此外,整个企业收集数据的方式有很多种,相同的数据会由不同的人输入到不同的应用程序中。尽管效率低下,该公司的流程对于维持其产品质量的高标准至关重要。该公司还致力于成为一家无纸化工厂,这需要在整个公司实施更加自动化、数字化的解决方案。
关于客户
Euro Caps 是一家总部位于荷兰的领先咖啡制造商。自 2012 年成立以来,该公司一直致力于实现尽可能高的质量标准,为其客户和全球数百万咖啡饮用者提供优质的咖啡胶囊。经过一段时期的高速增长后,该公司发现其现有的业务流程已无法满足其现在生产的商品数量。如今,Euro Caps 在其所有业务部门都使用 K2 软件,每个部门至少有一个 K2 5 流程。该公司不断努力改进流程,目标是成为无纸化工厂。
解决方案
Euro Caps 在当地 IT 合作伙伴 Thysia Information 的推荐下,通过 Nintex K2 Five 实施了 Microsoft SharePoint,以集中其文档管理并实现业务流程自动化。在 2 年的时间里,Euro Caps 构建了超过 25 个 K2 软件解决方案,简化了数据收集并简化了从车间到董事会会议室的流程。两个关键的 K2 Five 解决方案(Operator Tiles 和 Operator Portal)使车间员工能够即时访问产品手册,并能够查看和记录不同类型咖啡豆和托盘配置的研磨历史记录。在人力资源部门,K2 5 流程涵盖了从招聘新员工到延长合同以及管理公司 Facebook 个人资料的所有内容。该公司还开发了 4 个集成的 K2 五流程,用于批准新供应商、创建新商品、验证材料组合和批准新产品。在财务部门,传统的纸质流程(例如费用报销)已使用 K2 Five 实现完全数字化和自动化。

Wireless Improves Efficiency in Compressed Air Systems
Hollingsworth and Vose wanted to improve the efficiency of their compressed air system, lower the electricity expense component of manufacturing cost in their commodity industry, and conserve energy leading to lowered greenhouse gas emissions. Compressed air systems degrade over time and become leaky and inefficient. Hollingsworth and Vose wanted to increase the frequency of system inspections without paying the high cost of manual labor.

Process Predictive Analysis in Pulp and Paper Mill
Common paper breaks consequently lead up to 60 minutes of downtime, delaying a potential $10K per hour of production value process. Thus, defective products cause financial and damage company's reputation. Improving quality and reducing defect rates can generate millions of dollars of revenue per year for your company.

Industrial Video Monitoring for Security and Regulatory Compliance
Because of the Stevenson mill’s proximity to the Tennessee River, WestRock was required by the USCG to comply with the Maritime Security 33CFR (MARSEC) regulations. WestRock needed a video security system but wanted to add other applications not required by the government, such as video process monitoring, condition monitoring, and wireless network management. WestRock needed a reliable video solution to avoid the compliance fines and possible security risks – but the solution needed to be implemented in the most cost-effective manner possible.

ECOsine Active Increased Reliability in the Paper Industry
The paper and pulp industry is interlinking intelligent hi-tech machines to highly efficient production lines. Higher power DC and AC motor drives perform the automation tasks. Every kind of interference that negatively affects the reliability and safety of the installation may lead to production downtime and consequently to significant financial losses. AC and DC motor drives are so-called non-linear loads as they draw a nonsinusoidal current from the grid. Resulting harmonics of current and voltage can interfere with the operation of nearby consumers and overload the electrical infrastructure. In this particular application, the load cycles of the drives often caused interruptions in the production process because of disturbances coupling into the fieldbus system.
