System integration when embarking on a digital transformation journey is paramount to achieve the maximum ROI (return on Investment). ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Integration allows for real-time data synchronisation and exchange between ERP systems and shop floor machines. Benefits of integration include: - Enhanced Inventory management: Helps in tracking raw materials and finished goods more accurately. It allows for better inventory control by providing real-time updates on material usage, production status, and stock levels, which can help in reducing excess inventory whilst ensuring product availability. - Streamlined Operations: Integrating ERP with shop floor machines helps in aligning production schedules with inventory and order management. This ensures that production plans are synchronised with demand forecasts and order requirements, optimizing the production workflow. - Improved Production Efficiency: By integrating ERP systems with shop floor machines, companies can automate data collection and process updates. This reduces manual data entry, minimises errors, and speeds up production processes, leading to improved operational efficiency. In summary, integrating ERP systems with shop floor machines creates a more cohesive and responsive manufacturing environment, leading to improved efficiency, reduced costs, and better overall performance.

"We chose to engage and partner with NZ Controls on our self-service Silo strategy because we knew we were embarking on a new ground-breaking programme that would require a customer focused team that was prepared to work closely with us and our incumbent IT service providers. We needed a partner that could go well beyond standard electrical automation, we needed a partner capable of bridging the difficult gap between PLC automation and IT business systems. NZ Controls expertise and fantastic support has enabled us to deliver an industry first, with pseudo 24​/​7 self-service access to fertiliser akin to a self-service petrol station.
