Case Study: Fensterfabrik Albisrieden AG
With Michael Wirth (General Manager/Production Manager)
“Before we started using planeus, keeping track of our production progress and workstations was a constant challenge. We had to do daily rounds just to check the status of orders. Detailed plans and extra information were all managed manually on paper, which often created confusion.
When we introduced planeus, it was a game-changer. The platform won us over with its user-friendly interface and flexibility. What stood out right away was how easy it was to import orders, systems, and customer data—and even handle special cases without any hassle.
Since then, our production processes have improved dramatically. Tracking and documenting orders is now much more precise, and we’ve significantly reduced our paper usage. Scheduling orders has become much easier, and production monitoring is far more transparent. One of the biggest benefits we’ve seen is a 35% improvement in on-time delivery, thanks to the clear, visual representation of workstation workloads.
The system is logically structured and has been well-received by our team. We’ve equipped our workstations with tablets and fixed PCs, making it simple for employees to access the information they need, anytime. After a short training period, planeus has become an integral part of our daily operations.
Today, we use planeus across multiple locations. At Fenster Breisgau GmbH, it helps with individual part production, while at Fensterfabrik Albisrieden, it streamlines the assembly process. We see enormous potential for ongoing optimization with the software in the future.”
