Scandstick, Europe’s leading manufacturer of high-performance self-adhesive labels, has replaced its customised ERP/MES solution with a standard ERP integrated with Greycon’s industry-specific solutions.
The installation went live at the beginning of December 2019 with Greycon implementing its scheduling, planning and production systems, opt-Studio and GreyconMill, across Scandstick’s facilities in Höganäs, Sweden; Aalst, Belgium; Celje, Slovenia and Pruszków, Poland.
The solution is closely integrated with the latest version of the Microsoft NAV ERP which was also upgraded during this project.
Niclas Fredin, Scandstick CEO, said “In the past 10 years we have been using a highly customised solution. Although developed to fit our needs, the system was dated and could no longer support the growth of our business. Having used Greycon’s trimming solution, X-Trim, successfully since 2013, we decided to switch to using Greycon standard products alongside standard Microsoft NAV ERP. We now have a solution that is easy to keep up-to-date and flexible enough to grow with our business.
Greycon’s products are developed specifically for our industry and some of the benefits we have started to realise include:
- Improved customer service
- Increased throughput resulting from optimised schedules and switchovers
- Better control of raw materials and the forecast of the re-ordering
- On-time process control
- Full material traceability
- Labour cost reduced through increased automation.”
Esa Orola, Global Consultancy Manager at Greycon, said: “It has always been a pleasure to work together with the fantastic team at Scandstick. Having been part of the original project back in 2013, it has been exciting to roll out the new software and experience first-hand how Scandstick has grown and evolved over the years. Scandstick operates with impressively short delivery times, which requires a lot of flexibility from the production planning and execution processes.”
