PTA GmbH has been involved in the development of IT solutions in systems and mechanical engineering since its beginnings. Applications and processes are developed and supported, particularly in individual production and for handling projects in large-scale systems construction. In addition to the support and further development of standard systems selected and used by our customers, interfaces are provided between the various software products and to the systems of partners. Special mention should be made of the support for collaboration with suppliers and subcontractors in the context of major international projects, e.g. in power systems construction.
Systems and mechanical engineering
From one-off production to major international projects
Engineering Solutions
The manufacture of physical devices is no longer a unique selling point. As a result, many device manufacturers are seeking direct access to customers to provide additional services and a comprehensive experience. For this purpose, data is the raw material of the future. Simple things become smart devices that are able to communicate and develop new business models. The speed and intelligence with which companies develop and market new products with services play a key role here. The future therefore belongs to companies that are agile, customer-focused and data-driven.
New digital products
Efficient digital processes
Better customer retention
Expansion of market share
Challenges
- Manufacturing companies often have no direct access to end customers and therefore no knowledge of their behavior and no opportunities to gain further insights
- Data and processes are isolated from the customer in our own IT systems
- Data comes from different proprietary systems and is not networked with each other
- Data analysis is made more difficult due to the fluctuating number of parameters
- Deriving measures to improve service quality is problematic
Solution approaches
- Creating significant added value through digitalization and AI
- Intelligent linking of IoT scenarios, data analysis and process management
- IT cloud enterprise platform as a framework for the entire IT
Use Cases
All technical components (energy supplier to consumer) are digitally recorded with their necessary characteristics. The module enables the user to digitally manage, inventory and schedule technical equipment. It also provides support when carrying out the necessary electrical tests during commissioning and maintenance.
-
Digitalization in the areas of management, measurement, analysis, optimization and monitoring
-
Inventory transparency
-
Efficiency in the management and deployment planning of technical systems
-
Utilization optimization
-
Efficiency through support with mandatory inspections
Projects and the associated power distribution grids can be created and managed. Using a “Graphical Editor”, the electricity distribution grids can also be graphically planned, created and simulated under the calculated electricity load distribution and utilization. The respective and general system statuses are monitored via an IoT connection. At the same time, the data is collected and analyzed. The knowledge gained is constantly being incorporated into the planning and operation of electricity distribution grids, which enables process efficiency to be increased and costs to be saved.
-
Standardized and complete planning documentation
-
Time, monetary and qualitative efficiency in planning
-
Avoidance of planning errors
-
Eliminate manual activities
-
Collecting, processing and evaluating data
-
Transferability to other industries with similar challenges
Development of a mobile app that can visually identify products in different ways. After successful identification, component features from the CRM backend are displayed in the live screen. The measured values from the device sensors are displayed in real time via an IoT connection. Direct access to the graphical representation of the network in the CRM user front end is possible via a link.
-
Increased efficiency of service processes using augmented reality and OCR
-
Digitalization in the areas of repair, maintenance and electrical testing
Creation of a central cloud enterprise platform for decentralized, self-sufficient energy supply solutions. This serves to digitalize business processes, manage (end) customers’ energy systems and act as a control center for all important energy management processes. All processes are mapped, from business initiation (acquisition of a lead) to order processing (installation of the system) and system support with billing. By connecting the IoT device data via a cloud gateway, the information is used to trigger automatically generated business processes in the service.
-
Central cloud enterprise platform for the digitalization of business processes
-
Complete transparency and control of the installed energy systems and their production data
-
Availability of the software (SaaS) for third parties (white label approach)
- IoT data streams for triggering business processes
-
Consideration of all customer touch points (web portal, sales app, consumer app for charging control)
