Innovative component tracking with IPM® RCS enables tracking according to ISO 9001 in real time, increases transparency on the shop floor and has a positive effect on the cost structure of manufacturing companies. Automated container tracking introduces itself as another feature.
If components are integrated, bought in large batches or purchased from different suppliers, processing companies must maintain an overview and ensure traceability. What if there are low-quality batches among the supplies? Of course, this also applies if components suddenly turn out to be defective during the production process, for example due to incorrect assembly or if the FIFO principle has not been observed and parts have been stored for too long. No matter how it happens – if individual parts are defective or damaged, they can affect the functionality and safety of the end product. But what can be done to prevent this from happening in the first place? How to quickly figure out where defective parts are already installed?
The German software manufacturer CSP has been demonstrating its expertise in the market for 30 years and last year in over 500 projects, the majority of them international. A central component of the company’s philosophy is to provide optimal on-site support for customers in meeting the challenges of digitization and automation, as well as to promote quality improvement and cost reduction. A cornerstone of the current realignment of the company is growth in international markets. One of these is now being realized with the American location in Youngsville, North Carolina. The aim is to open up new markets and to position itself even more strongly internationally in the future, but also to efficiently advise and support CSP customers locally. 
In times of big data, databases in companies often contain amounts of data that are not even remotely comprehensible. In order to utilize storage systems effectively, correct handling of databases that are no longer used is inevitable. Studies show that not even one fifth of all data in databases is actively used; the rest of it is inactive and frequently expands systems unnecessarily.
