2 Your presenter: Horst Mertes (Horst) VP of Sales & Marketing, FeneTech Inc. CEO FeneTech Europe SARL

3 AGENDA 1. Who is FeneTech? 2. What is a Software ERP Solution? 3. What is Innovation/Automati on/integration? 4. How can integrated Software help? 5. Smart Factory / Industry Advantages/ disadvantages 7. Future Outlook

4 1 Who is FeneTech? since 1996 WE INVENT Intelligent Software ERP solutions to automate your factory WE OPTIMIZE all processes from A-Z to guarantee a smooth flow of operations WE UPDATE these software solutions constantly and invent even more for you

5 2 What is a Software ERP Solution? Enterprise Resource Planning ERP is usually referred to as a category of business management software typically a suite of fully integrated applications an organization can use to collect, store, manage and interpret data from their business activities (Ref. Wikipedia) Not every software solution is a true ERP solution ERP solutions are based on an completely integrated central database Real-time and flawless exchange of information between business areas

6 ERP Central Database

7 Enterprise Resource Planning - How can it help? ERP software will help companies to automate and streamline processes between the different departments ERP systems have to be constantly developed further Buzzwords are: constant INNOVATION, AUTOMATION and INTEGRATION

8 3 What is Innovation/Automation/Integration?

9 Innovation is the process of making something better by use of new and original ideas. Innovation is considered the process of translating an idea or invention into a product or service that creates value for which customers will pay (ref. BusinessDictionary) To be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an economical cost and must satisfy a specific need

10 Automation is the act of applying control systems to reduce labor, increase raw material usage and improve quality by repeatable work methods. Automation is further advanved through continuous innovation. Automation is changing the landscape of manufacturing (->smart factories)

11 Integration coordinates the activity of the islands of automation created by the many talented machinery and system vendors. Integration enables you to get the most out of money spent on machinery and software and the maximum profit for your business.

12 Integration means a seamless workflow. By deeply integrating and interconnecting machinery and software in a factory a complete view of materials, status of all processes can be available to anyone at any time The winners will be those who understand the value of integration across functions, departments and processes.

13 4 How can integrated Software help? Integrated ERP software ties it all together Integrated ERP software is closing the gaps and eliminating island solutions Integrated ERP software is ensuring that data is collected and used at every single point Integrated ERP software will automate your factory, will make it a Smart Factory

14 The production floor is completely integrated into the overall factory automation with a minimum of disruption to the existing processes. The complete networking of machinery, software but also people offers new production environments and is the vision of the future.

15 5 Smart Factory Industry 4.0 (Internet of Things)

16 It is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies Use this information in both ways and influence your planning strategies Both software and machinery suppliers must provide open architecture to enable this type of communication and integration

17 DEVELOPMENT PHASES FROM INDUSTRY 1.0 TO INDUSTRY 4.0 Second Industrial Revolution: electric energy makes mass production possible (Beginning of the 20th century) Fourth Industrial Revolution: Internet of Things makes networked manufacturing possible (Since the 21st century) First Industrial Revolution: steam power makes mechanical production possible (Late 18th century) Third Industrial Revolution: IT and computer technology allow for more manufacturing automation (Beginning of the 1970s)

18 6 Advantages / Disadvantages ADVANTAGES individual customer requirements flexible production relief to employees work-life balance new value: new B2B services increased competiveness identifying and developing productivity and resource efficiency handling new national and global challenges V S DISADVANTAGES lack of data protection easy manipulation of remote manufacturing systems a disadvantage for rural areas is the lack of broadband connections continuous provision and maintenance of necessary infrastructures high and expensive technical standards additional requirement for employees (IT know-how)

19 7 Future outlook - Industry 4.0 in the Glass Industry

20 Industry 4.0 or Internet of Things - Some of the key objectives in our industry Flow optimization and asset tracking Predictive maintenance Real-time inventory optimization Reactive/dynamic capacity planning Optimized logistics and customer communication
