Our experience, Your success

At Bayer CropScience in Muttenz Shiftconnector of eschbach supports an efficient and safe operation and serves equally as a means of information and communication.

• Manufacturing of a product partly across several buildings and multiple plants
• Mutual exchange of information important
• Electronic shift book supports communication between the individual shifts 
  

Previously an Access-based software, self-developed by an employee, has been used. Due to organisational changes and an increase of production volume, a new solution was required. “Our production grows naturally - new systems are added and thus demands for a new encompassing event log“, explains Francisco Rodriguez, facility manager at Bayer CropScience. “We required a new and flexible solution.” IT project manager, Michele Troiano, adds: “The flow of information was given, but we couot exploit future-oriented possibilities in an efficient and sustainable way.”

The new event log should therefore provide a complete, accurate and auditable record of all events and the collected data should also be able to be deployed across divisions. IT expert Michele Troiano clarifies: “Important to us was a central input and information tool that comprehensively and reliably supports our communication within shift operations - and at the same high standard at which we produce.”
