How agricultural machine manufacturer Zocon boosts efficiency
with a smart, custom-made planning- and production portal

The challenge: streamline production processes

Supply chain optimization is crucial for a company like Zocon: it helps them to build and sell these machines much more efficiently. No wonder Zocon started investigating ways to streamline their processes. ‘Off-the-shelf software’ did not suffice, because Zocon’s needs didn’t ‘fit’ the standard solutions that were already on the market. And so after doing thorough research, they decided to reach out to Cloud++ to see if we could help them build a custom platform that fit their specific production processes and that would help them boost efficiency.

Solution: a production- and planning portal that prioritizes and executes work orders efficiently

Based on Zocon’s specific needs - derived from the way their production process was set up - we designed a custom-made production- and planning portal. The goal of this portal is to support the manufacturing process in the production facilities.

For example, Zocon’s machines are produced in different factory halls. Using the portal, employees can now easily be scheduled for specific jobs at these different locations. When they arrive at the factory hall, they can see exactly which work orders are scheduled for that location. They can also easily view construction drawings of the to-be-manufactured machines, report the work orders as completed when they are done and register their working times.

Cloud++ enabled this by integrating the custom-built platform with Exact Online: the work orders are automatically retrieved from the ERP software and easily prioritized by the responsible person.

Results: improved transparency and efficiency

With their own, custom-built planning- and production portal, Zocon’s team is now able to streamline their processes. Managers can prioritize tasks efficiently, and process operators are able to report on their work within the platform. As a result, transparency and communications across the supply chain improved drastically, offering less room for miscommunication and thus (costly) mistakes.
