Success story from practice: How Werkerführung PG transformed the Hatz engine factory

The digitalization of production is no longer a dream of the future - it's a reality. An impressive example of this is provided by Motorenfabrik Hatz, which has taken its production to a new level with our PG worker guidance solution.

 

Tradition meets innovation

Motorenfabrik Hatz can look back on an impressive history: the company has been developing and producing high-quality diesel engines and power units for almost 150 years. With its distinctive engineering expertise and innovative strength, Hatz supplies reliable, efficient and durable drive solutions for industrial applications worldwide.

But even traditional companies face modern challenges: How can complex manufacturing processes be optimally controlled with a wide variety of products? How can quality and efficiency be increased at the same time?

 

The initial situation: untapped potential

Before the introduction of our solution, engine production at Hatz relied on manual coordination between the various workstations. This approach caused several problems:

  • Loss of efficiency due to time-consuming manual coordination

  • Increased error rates due to a lack of end-to-end process control

  • Unused optimization potential in the work processes

  • Longer training periods for new employees

 

The solution: PG worker guidance in use

This is where our PG worker guidance solution came into play. PG is an intelligent system that guides employees step by step through complex work processes, ensuring both quality and efficiency.

At Motorenfabrik Hatz, we implemented PG at over 15 workstations in production. The system ensures:

  • Continuous process control without manual intervention

  • Precise work instructions for each production step

  • Automatic quality control in real time

  • Early error detection before rejects are produced

 

Measurable success: the figures speak for themselves


The results of PG implementation at Hatz are impressive:

  • 100% process reliability in all monitored areas

  • Zero-defect process successfully established

  • Significantly more efficient workflows thanks to optimized process control

  • Early error detection prevents costly rejects

  • Shorter training periods for new employees

 

Customer testimonial: First-hand success

Stefan Rotheneichner from Motorenfabrik Hatz puts it in a nutshell:

"The introduction of CSP's software at Hatz was a great success. The integration not only improved productivity, but also quality control, which led to an increase in the engine factory's overall performance."


Conclusion: Digital transformation with measurable benefits

The Hatz case is an impressive example of how the right technology can revolutionize traditional manufacturing processes. The PG plant management system transformed manual, error-prone processes into an intelligent, automated production environment.

The result: a company with 150 years of tradition uses state-of-the-art technology to strengthen its competitiveness while ensuring the highest quality standards.
