Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH

A company engaged in planning, manufacturing and assembly activities requires a comprehensive, highly integrated IT infrastructure as the basis for its success and security for the future. Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH, located in Asbach-Bäumenheim/Hamlar in Bavaria, Germany, is an international company that manufactures machinery for the plate glass and building materials industry. The PPS system implemented between 1984 and 1985 has been modified continually over the years and every modification meant it moved further away from the original standard. In addition, the proprietary application environment was no longer sufficient tomeet current requirements.

Thus the time was ripe for the company to invest in change. What followed was a classic approach: a project team was assembled to draw up a requirements specification. This was then sent to leading software houses to enable them to present their solutions. In the end it was functionality and flexibility that finally tipped the balanceand Berlin-based PSIPENTA was selected.
