Connecting SAP ERP with machines<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Label application maker Dymo wanted to become paperless. Devoteam connected their SAP\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>ERP for production planning with the automated machines of the Dymo plant in Belgium. They asked Devoteam to digitise all information flows on their shop floor. By managing the production orders digitally end-to-end, from planning until delivered goods, Newell brands will be able to respond with much more flexibility to market demand.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dymo is the number one in Europe for label applications for household use, specifically for offices and industrial settings. It is part of Newell Brands<\/a> (NASDAQ: NWL), a leading global consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of well-known brands, including Rubbermaid\u00ae, Paper Mate\u00ae, Dymo\u00ae, Parker\u00ae, Rotring\u00ae, Waterman\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dymo plant in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium is recognized within Newell Brands for its innovation and its track record to realize better Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and increased productivity year over year. The foundation for this paperless project was already realized through the automation of machine data logging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dymo was looking to\u00a0digitise the administration work by its people<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 starting with the production planning on the shop floor. Here several fulltime-equivalents (FTE) of work were lost in Excel, emails, paperwork, and manually copy-pasting scrap and production quantities into SAP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once this project has been rolled out across the whole department, we will be able to respond to market demand in a very flexible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Dymo visited the paperless project at Duracell<\/a>, they saw what Devoteam achieved there: connecting people through digital shop floor portals with SAP ERP, the Warehouse system, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Dymo and Devoteam jointly conducted a content analysis to identify the improvement potential, a roadmap, and implementation trajectory to realise a positive business case with the digitisation of key information flows. This exercise convinced Dymo\u2019s headquarters to trust Devoteam with a 2-year digital transformation project. We started the journey in April 2020, in partnership with Microsoft<\/a> and Ometa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
