NEO Event 'The Future of APS in Industry 4.0' is a Success!
A few weeks ago the event 'The Future of APS in Industry 4.0' took place, organized by NEO Engenharia de Produção with support from SIEMENS. The event was full of news, trends and customer testimonials with real gains from the solutions provided by NEO.To kick things off, we had a presentation from the Director of Indirect Sales for the Americas — MOM Portfolio, Marco Antônio Baptista, explaining how Siemens became one of the largest software companies in the world and number one in market share in the industrial software segment.
After that, it was NEO's turn to present the current challenges and especially the trends and opportunities for APS in the future of Industry 4.0! If you want to know a bit of what was said there, check this blog post with 10 opportunities for PPCP! Next, our customer, PLASC EMBALAGENS, came to share their testimonial about the PREACTOR APS project at their industry and the gains they achieved. Charlene Medeiros and Julio Kolcheski from PPCP put on a great show! The results are impressive: 20% reductions in setup times, 30% in late orders and 50% in scheduling and delivery date promise time!
Finally, Fernando Canelas from MÓVEIS BARTIRA closed with a flourish, telling us about the PREACTOR APS journey at the largest furniture industry in Latin America. He told us that previously it took 1 hour to schedule 10 resources using 10 different spreadsheets. Today they can schedule 100 resources in 1 hour, even with the incredible complexity of a factory that builds a complete piece of furniture every 7 seconds!
We thank everyone who came and enjoyed the event! If you couldn't attend or are thinking about attending the next one, the video below gives you a taste of what the event was like.
