Logistics processes in safe hands
AUVESY-MDT's vendor-independent version control system is the foundation for seamless spare parts logistics.
The Initial Situation
The logistics of warehousing and service parts management are highly complex. Companies, especially in industries such as the automotive sector, are faced with the challenge of ensuring a reliable global supply of parts around the clock. One such company facing similar challenges is a well-known automotive manufacturer with an extensive global network of manufacturing facilities and warehouses.
This automotive manufacturer is known for its high-quality vehicles and global presence. With manufacturing plants and warehouses around the world, logistics plays a critical role in keeping the business running smoothly. The company's central warehouse is responsible for ensuring a reliable supply of spare parts and accessories worldwide. This requires efficient inventory management, optimization of warehouse space, and coordination of truck movements.
To meet these challenges, the company relies on state-of-the-art logistics and automation technology. Automated controls, robotics, and transportation systems are used to secure processes and meet deadlines. Despite these advanced technologies, some challenges remain. Changes, adjustments and optimizations are part of the daily routine.
The Solution
AUVESY-MDT offers a comprehensive solution for the monitoring, traceability and archiving of control programs. The version control system is based on a client-server architecture and performs regular backup jobs on controllers and automation devices. Changes are automatically detected, documented and stored. The software provides centralized data availability and transparency, independent of device manufacturer and type.
The AUVESY-MDT software is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and supports highly automated logistics or production systems in the precise coordination of all units involved. It provides a reliable basis for audit trails and verifications according to ISO 900x, GAMP, GMP, FDA 21 CFR 11 or VDA 6.x.
A central feature of AUVESY-MDT is the automated recording, documentation and storage of changes. This minimizes potential errors and organizes data centrally, which significantly increases the efficiency and security of the entire process. Time-controlled, automated backup jobs not only ensure the availability of data, but also form the basis for comparing the status of servers and devices. Dealing with non-versioned or unnoticed changes to project data is no longer an obstacle.
The Result
The implementation of the version control system of AUVESY-MDT offers numerous advantages compared to previous methods. The automated recording, documentation and storage of changes minimizes potential errors and centrally organizes the data, which significantly increases the efficiency and security of the entire process.
The software enables time-controlled, automated data backup and serves as a basis for comparing the status of servers and devices. Dealing with non-versioned or unnoticed changes to project data is no longer an obstacle.
Administrators can be automatically notified of changes at different locations through the highest level of cross-location quality assurance. Daily automatic updates of the delivery logistics enable immediate detection and reaction to changes and deviations, thus ensuring global delivery capability and quality.
Overall, AUVESY-MDT's version control software provides an additional "security layer" against changes in control processes and project statuses. Disruptions due to versioning discrepancies are quickly identified and processes can be immediately resumed by reverting to the last valid version.
