A day at Nordwerk · 3 shifts
24 hours. One data chain.
From the early shift to deep into the night — even when nobody's there, the plant thinks along. Pick a shift and see who does what, in which system.
First coffee, first look at the control room. Seven machines green — only lathe B1 blinks amber: “maintenance due”.
Control room →Ali sets up CNC mill A1, loads the program for 200× bearing block NW-1001 and starts — feedback right at the machine.
Machine & cabinet →An inquiry from Alpentech becomes a lead. Thomas runs it through the digital twin, Lena sends a quote with a real date.
Digital twin ↗MRP computes material demand from the order — Bernd confirms the steel purchase suggestions in two clicks.
In the ERP ↗Jens clicks from the machine into the cabinet down to the wiring plan, checks the vibration trend — and schedules B1.
Historian →On flange plate NW-2010 the dimensions drift. BI sees it before final inspection — Petra steps in.
Process drift (BI) ↗The 200 bearing blocks are done and inspected. Klaus picks with real-time stock — NW-1001 ships.
In the ERP ↗Handover in 5 minutes instead of 30: Nadia reads off the control room what's running, what's open, where B1 stands.
Control room →The customer's buyer opens the portal: order delivered, invoice open, service contract active — without a single query.
Customer portal →A complaint arrives. Sven opens the repair order; the AI search instantly surfaces a similar past case and its fix.
Ask the company →Series run NW-2010 on laser cutter L1. Tomasz reports good and scrap quantities continuously — BI fills up in real time.
Plant →Final inspection of the batch: dimensions, surface, weight auto-graded, inspection record generated. No paper, no audit search.
Quality in BI ↗Thinly staffed night: laser L1 keeps running, Elias watches three lines from the control room instead of walking around.
Control room →In the middle of the night the prediction spots rising vibration on axis Y — and opens a maintenance order by itself. Precognitive: the failure is prevented before it happens.
Prediction in the plan →Ravi gets the order on his phone, arrives prepared — the bearing is already reserved. Swap in 40 minutes, the line never stops.
Condition data →Every reading of the night is safely stored. At four the snapshot is ready, from which the management cockpit computes in the morning.
Ops & backups →Frank returns, axis Y is swapped, everything green. Handover to the early shift — and the day starts over.
Control room →Three shifts, one truth. Click through the whole company.
