Which ERP systems can be connected via an API?
ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, ProAlpha, Sage, Abas and many others can be connected on a daily basis via APIs. Data connectors can synchronize all required data both read and write. For example, order data, parts lists, material movements or performance values can be exchanged automatically.
What makes Opdenhoff special in the field of digitalization in production?
Opdenhoff is revolutionizing the manufacturing sector by connecting people, machines, products and systems by taking an object-oriented view of the entire value stream. Our focus is on the essentials according to the Pareto principle, whereby we offer efficient, cost-saving and optimized solutions.
How do I get started?
Entry is tailored to your needs. You can enter from different perspectives - be it the company level, the production level or the technology level.
Perhaps you want to modernize your systems (retrofit), link your quality management more closely with production, standardize processes sustainably for your plants or simply record and evaluate data. Perhaps you are even aiming to set up artificial intelligence. Regardless of your goals, we bring the necessary methods and our many years of experience to the table.
However, our main focus is always on optimizing the value stream, as this is where efficiency and productivity can be significantly increased. By consistently focusing on the value stream, we minimize waste, both in terms of costs and personnel, and thus create sustainable added value for your company. Let's work together to find the ideal entry point for you and embark on the path to efficient digitalization!
What added value does Opdenhoff offer?
Opdenhoff offers companies clear added value through the digitalization and optimization of their processes. By using modern technologies such as digital twins and integration with your ERP system, we make complex processes transparent and manageable. In doing so, we improve quality and efficiency and reduce waste to make your company more competitive. Data sovereignty always remains in your hands, which ensures trust and security.
Is it possible to record and control machine and process data?
Yes, it is definitely possible. Machine data can not only be retrieved, but also controlled. This is done directly from the controller, via industrial IIoT devices or via standardized protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT, LORAWan, IO-LINK. It often makes sense to specify specific recipes and parameters and query machine statuses in order to integrate them into the processes in an agile manner (golden batch). Even binary information (0/1) can be useful. If required, we can provide you with intelligent terminal strips or advise you on the selection of suitable hardware for your machinery. The structure of the administration shell means that we are independent of manufacturers, but we can build on over 50 years of experience with manufacturers such as Siemens and others. Communication takes place in both directions, both for control and for retrieving status information.
What do the software and services cost?
At Opdenhoff, we create sustainable added value through efficient digitalization solutions, adapted to every company - large or small. We work with a constantly evolving architecture, which means you always benefit from the latest innovations. Our flexible billing models, based on the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) principle, are also tailored to your needs. You can get started with the digitalization of a value stream from as little as €1500. Convince yourself of the long-term benefits we offer. We are ready when you are!
How can Opdenhoff support companies with the skills shortage?
Opdenhoff helps companies overcome the skills shortage by providing partnerships in your area and supporting the search and retention of skilled workers through our OPDPRO.CARE software solution.
