Siemens Building Technologies Streamlines Inventory & Reduces Cycle Times with FlexNet Producer Suite
Today's high-tech buildings comprise a plethora of sophisticated systems to control everything from heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) to security and fire protection. And just as every building is different, so are the systems that orchestrate these functions. For Siemens Building Technologies, Inc., this inescapable fact created enormous complexity in manufacturing and inventory management, which had a negative ripple effect across numerous other aspects of its business.
Today, Siemens Building Technologies uses FlexNet Publisher and FlexNet Operations, which are key elements of the FlexNet Producer Suite for Intelligent Device Manufacturers. This has enabled them to put product customization capabilities into the hands of its customers, reducing the number of SKUs it needs to manufacture and inventory from several hundred to just a few models. This in turn speeds cycle times – new systems can be live in just an hour, compared to several weeks – and lowers the potential for human error.
"In the US, the challenging economy has had a big impact on the construction industry, which directly affects us," says Duane Keenan, Manager, Integrated Solutions at Siemens Building Technologies. "We were looking for innovative ways to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and boost operational efficiencies. We met both of these objectives with FlexNet Producer Suite for Intelligent Device Manufacturers."
