Successful Go-live of IBS Software at TIANJIN NEW WEI SAN INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD (NWS)

---

- NWS, situated in Tianjin (China), is a leading manufacturer of automotive components in the field of metal processing.
- The go-live represents a significant milestone and an overwhelming success in terms of IBS' China-based activities.
- The IBS solution is a strategic expansion to the existing ERP and CAD system.

Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 1st February 2012: TIANJIN NEW WEI SAN INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (NWS) specialises in the construction and manufacture of high-quality cast parts for the global market. In addition to component production in its foundry, NWS also offers further processing of the parts, including assembly into ready-to-install components. A number of renowned companies today, such as Toyota and Volkswagen, rely on NWS’ competence for the realisation of their sophisticated products.

To remain competitive, NWS fosters a policy of continuous improvement and the achievement of efficient, transparent processes. This strategy led the company to opt for the implementation of IBS AG’s fully-integrated MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software solution, which embodies a process-oriented, computer-assisted production management system. Following the recent successful go-live, the IBS software solution at NWS now enhances the company's existing ERP and CAD system and replaces a number of so-called stand-alone and local systems.

Following implementation of the complete IBS software suite, NWS will have fully-integrated, site-independent, standardised quality, production and traceability management at its fingertips.

“The demand for production-supportive IT solutions is present in China due to the particularly high proportion of industry there. NWS will be the first Chinese customer to receive the entire IBS AG software suite. This is a milestone and a great success for our Company. With the support of our subsidiary in Shanghai we will be striving to attain further orders in Asia”, explains Volker Schwickert, Executive Vice President and Director of Sales and Marketing at IBS.
