VASGLASS: Effizienzsteigerung mit FeneVision

Why change was needed

Over the last 25 years, VASGLASS has grown exponentially, developing multiple new production lines including a thermal toughening and heat strengthening production line in 2009, a jumbo size laminating line in 2012, and a CNC glass machining center in 2014. In 2015, it installed its first ERP solution.

But VASGLASS was using an outdated ERP system that complicated the ordering process. The manual systems were time consuming and open to error, which affected the company’s ability to realize their full potential and grow the business.

“With our old system, everything was on paper and it was a mess. The papers would need to be passed through production to different users who would write things on the order sheets, and this would cause confusion and errors. People would constantly need to go back to the office to clarify things, which was incredibly time consuming.”

Ilias Antonopoulos, IT Manager 

They needed a modern, automated ERP system that would effectively streamline operations and enhance customer satisfaction and retention—and so in 2018, VASGLASS started using FeneVision.

How change happened

VASGLASS appreciated how Cyncly’s FeneVision ERP system automated the ordering process, simplified data management and instantly provided information for every department within the business at the click of a button. FeneVision also helped to monitor and ultimately reduce costly mistakes and made it easier to provide customers with timely updates.

“FeneVision makes it so much easier to provide customers with accurate status updates. Previously when customers wanted to know how their order was progressing, it would be difficult to and time consuming to work out. FeneVision gives us instant access to that information at the push of a button so it’s easy to work out exactly where each order is in the production line. It means we can provide regular updates and communicate much more confidently with our customers.”

While already enabling dynamic scheduling, Cyncly is optimizing its software and is developing abilities to further support VASGLASS in its future expansion plans.

What change delivered

Within 12 months of the implementation of FeneVision, VASGLASS had stronger yields on glass cutting and productivity soared by 50%. As the company has continued to evolve, Cyncly has supported VASGLASS with upgrades and the implementation of live data analysis to further boost efficiency by 20%.

“We now have data for everything from order entry to production and efficiency analysis for each department. It’s vital for us as it means we can constantly monitor the complete production line and quickly address any issues that occur in real time. It means any problems are solved much quicker and production can continue without delay. It’s been a game changer for us as having this level of data helps you make the best decisions for the business.”

Dynamic scheduling and optimization based on real-time data is speeding up production, improving accuracy and efficiency.
