DELMIAWorks Success Story

How to Save $258,000 in Manufacturing Operations

When you are a growing manufacturer of appliance, electrical, transportation, and industrial products with four facilities across North America, you cannot afford to run your operations with an antiquated system that is not keeping pace with the increase in orders and manufacturing activity.

That was the case for Ohio-based Mar-Bal, Inc. That is until they made the switch to DELMIAWorks manufacturing ERP solution, which enabled an increase in operational efficiency, allowing them to keep up with growing demand and generate immediate savings in time and money across the board.

With an annual savings of $258,000 across its four plants and the elimination of idle downtime, Mar-Bal is on the path to success with the capacity to handle additional demand.

Six Strategies for Maximizing Manufacturing Productivity with Connected Workers

It’s no secret that the manufacturing industry has become more competitive, complex, and unpredictable. There is increasing pressure on manufacturing companies to quickly respond to demand fluctuations, adapt to resource shortages, control costs, and still get quality products out the door on time. By sharing data and insights in real-time anywhere employees need it, manufacturers are breaking down barriers between departments and creating a more adaptive workforce that can:

  • Anticipate and act on rapid changes
  • Solve problems in real-time
  • Maximize resource utilization
  • Reduce losses due to poor quality
  • Work through complex tasks and prevent human errors

Download this whitepaper to learn how by enabling connected workers, manufacturers can create an ideal environment in which they can excel, despite the rapid changes and unpredictability in the manufacturing supply chain.

DELMIAWorks for Your Industry

DELMIAWorks can tackle plastics shop floor challenges

Plastics

Plastics processors constantly battle volatile resin prices, high scrap rates, and the complexity of multi-cavity molding operations. Family molds, multi-step bills of material, and frequent unit-of-measure conversions add chaos to production.

DELMIAWorks – born on the shop floor of plastics plants – tackles these challenges head-on. RealTime machine monitoring gives you instant insight into cycle counts, downtime, and yields, while drag-and-drop scheduling built for cavitation and family tools helps maximize capacity. The system tracks regrind and material blends automatically, so you can minimize waste and control costs without compromising on quality or delivery performance.


DELMIAWorks Industry Success Story: Gamsee

Injection molding company improves margins and profitability, automates production operations, and accelerates growth.

DELMIAWorks aids medical device manufacturing companies

Medical Devices

Medical device manufacturers face intense regulatory scrutiny and cannot afford lapses in quality or traceability. Meeting FDA mandates and ISO 13485 standards means every lot, document, and step must be tracked with precision.

DELMIAWorks embeds compliance into its core. Its Quality Management suite covers ISO/FDA requirements – from electronic signatures and audit trails to CAPA and risk management. The fully integrated Device History Record (DHR) module automatically compiles the production history of each device, eliminating paper binders and human error. When a surprise audit or recall looms, DELMIAWorks users know they can rapidly prove control over their processes and products.


DELMIAWorks Industry Success Story: Comar

By harnessing data in the DELMIAWorks (formerly IQMS) manufacturing ERP system, COMAR LLC has the real-time insights to drive innovation, ensure the quality that differentiates it from competitors, and enable the agility to address customers’ demands.

DELMIAWorks streamlines automotive supply chains

Automotive

Automotive suppliers operate under unforgiving demands for zero defects and just-in-time delivery. They juggle complex EDI schedules, ever-changing customer requirements, and stringent standards like IATF 16949.

DELMIAWorks streamlines these pressures with a single, automotive-focused ERP/MES solution. It automates customer EDI and labeling compliance – from schedules and ASNs to barcoded shipping labels – ensuring every shipment meets OEM mandates. Integrated quality tools (APQP, SPC, full traceability) keep defect rates at zero even at high volumes. And with real-time production and inventory visibility, you can respond immediately to changes in demand and avoid costly line stoppages.


DELMIAWorks Industry Success Story: Nissen

Learn how Nissen Chemitec America reduced EDI monthly cost by 90% and eliminated most shipping errors.

Metals & Stamping

Metal stamping manufacturers stay lean whether producing one-off parts or stamping out thousands per hour. Material costs are high and margins tight, so scrap and rework eat into profit. They also juggle raw stock in pounds vs finished pieces in units, complicating inventory tracking.

DELMIAWorks tames this complexity with flexible unit-of-measure conversions and scrap tracking – every pound of material is accounted for automatically. Its multi-level BOMs handle progressive dies and family tools, while real-time production monitoring and tool maintenance scheduling prevent unplanned downtime. The result is less waste, predictable costs, and a shop floor that can adapt quickly to customer needs.

DELMIAWorks helps aerospace and defence companies with part and process tracking

Aerospace & Defense

Aerospace and defense manufacturers face complex global supply chains, aggressive delivery schedules, and strict compliance obligations. Long program lifecycles and regulations like ITAR and AS9100 demand rigorous tracking of every part and process.

DELMIAWorks unifies data from engineering through delivery and offers detailed MRP planning to anticipate material needs and manage complex assemblies without excess inventory. Compliance is built in – export-controlled orders are flagged for ITAR, and the quality system meets aerospace standards for safety and traceability. 24/7 supplier portals and two-way EDI keep you connected with suppliers, so production stays agile and auditable even in a cyclical market.
