The first version of the Lean Assessment Tool (LAT) is now available. Together with our partner Lean Alliance and different partner companies we have been developed a prototype of this tool. The objective is to check how “Lean” the different areas are and to visible the highest potentials inside this companies.

The new wireless IKS PDA Module enables our customers to visualize specific IKS information directly at the shop-floor. Additionally PDAs can be used to scan and track Kanbans via barcode. So both functionalities are merged together and increases the flexibility of operators and key personal.
Hansa Metallwerke uses also a specific version of the PDA Module to stable their processes and to book inventory directly into their ERP system.

The new IKS release 3.5.0 is available now. Nearly all modules have been improved in functionality and performance.
