Dellner Hydratech – seamless dataflow between design and manufacturing

Hydratech Industries is a global company specializing in hydraulic components for the wind turbine industry, offshore, marine, and industrial applications, and service & repair. The company employs 400 people at its different manufacturing, sales and service locations around the world.

Background

Dellner Hydratech is a global enterprise with three major divisions. Its Wind Power division in Silkeborg, Denmark supplies hydraulic components to the wind turbine industry, while its Fluid Power division in Vraa, Denmark specializes in customized hydraulic cylinders for offshore, marine, and industrial applications. With manufacturing and service facilities in Denmark, Czech Republic, China, and the USA, Hydratech employs about 400 people worldwide.

They previously used systems where users had to manually enter all data from the technical systems to production. Communications between engineering and manufacturing was challenging. The time-consuming manual process involved with populating product data from one system to the other resulted in production errors and long waiting times. 

Dellner Hydratech was looking for a solution that could tie together the worlds of production and technology, so they could stop re-keying information. The solution needed to be fully integrable with their existing ERP system, Dynamics F&SCM/AX. The primary goals was a system allowing data to flow freely between design and production, to improve accuracy and efficiency in any manufacturing environment and an easy handling of design changes without the risk of error, which was achieved with the implementation of Bluestar PLM.

Results

  • Seamless data flow between the technical department and production
  • Full integration with existing ERP system, Dynamics F&SCM/AX
  • One system to assure accuracy and efficiency
  • Version management: Immediate access to accurate data from global departments

“The implementation process was painless – especially on the Bluestar PLM side, where all the underlying system information was controlled. We experienced a safe support from PDM Technology and the system is easy to use. We heard good recommendations about Bluestar PLM from others in the industry who were very satisfied. That confirmed our feeling that we were choosing the best solution.”
