Customer profile

Werkzeugmaschinenbau Ziegenhain GmbH, a subsidiary of DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP, is a leading manufacturer of high-precision motor spindles for CNC machines. With a focus on quality and robustness, WMZ spindles are at the heart of numerous industrial manufacturing processes.

Challenge

A paperless solution

Prior to the Ninox project, WMZ was faced with the challenge of finding a paperless solution for the production and repair of their motor spindles. Managing extensive spindle data and improving quality control and customer service were key concerns.

In a very short time, we have transformed our ambitious project into a robust, cloud-based IT solution that will sustainably increase our quality, efficiency and service.

Solution

A paperless solution

In close cooperation with Ninox, our premium solution partner parcs worked with WMZ to develop a tailor-made solution based on the cloud-based Ninox platform. parcs created a digital protocol and analysis tool that raised the long-standing analog data basis in spindle production to a modern, efficient level.

Dr. Udo Tüllmann, managing director of Werkzeugmaschinenbau Ziegenhain GmbH: “With our strong partner parcs, we have transformed our ambitious project into a robust, cloud-based IT solution in a very short time, which will sustainably increase our quality, efficiency and service. We will continue this approach for other product groups to best support our customers.”

Johannes Schmitz-Lenders, managing partner of parcs IT-Consulting, sees great potential for similar solutions in mechanical engineering and other manufacturing companies that require cost-effective individual solutions and adds: “The combination of WMZ's expertise as a spindle manufacturer and our experience in the area of complex software systems has produced a tailor-made and modern solution here. The use of the low-code Ninox platform has significantly reduced development risks and costs. ”
