Petruzzi Industria Grafica has deep roots in Città di Castello, Umbria. Founded by Corrado Petruzzi in the 1970s as an artisan company, it quickly grew as an industrial facility.
Over the years, the company has grown prosperous, expanding the plant to 8,000 square meters and incorporating state-of-the-art machinery, especially in large format and editorial printing.
Starting initially with five employees in the 1970s, it now has more than 50 professionals, testifying to steady growth through three generations, led now by the founder’s son.
THE REASONS
The increase in the size of the company, the type of clients and the complexity of the work required a deep review of information systems and management methodologies.
It was no longer enough to have final information when work was completed. It was necessary to have an information system that would allow continuous and constant monitoring of production and economic-financial indicators.
This led to the decision to marry Logica solutions, both in the MIS area with ProtoX (integrated information system from budget to final statement) and in the MES area with The Logica 4.0 Suite where 10 cost centers are connected in real time.
Let us now find out, in a brief interview with Matteo Petruzzi, the company’s viewpoint regarding this experience.
How important is it to have an MES system within your business reality?
The implementation of an MES system represents a crucial step for our company in terms of modernizing and improving manufacturing operations.
The MES system acts as the heartbeat of our manufacturing operations, providing unprecedented visibility into all aspects of the production process.
This visibility not only improves our ability to make informed and timely decisions but also allows us to quickly identify and resolve any inefficiencies or disruptions in the production chain.
It directly translates into reduced operating costs and increased overall productivity. It also facilitates more accurate inventory management, minimizing waste and ensuring that resources are optimally allocated.
We work hard to make our software as intuitive and functional as possible. Are your operators experiencing difficulties in using the systems? Is the training provided easily applicable?
We agree that it is important to ensure that our operators can take full advantage of the potential of the software without difficulty; although they are indeed very intuitive, we know that adapting to new technologies can present some challenges.
The training that Logica provides us with is structured to be easily applicable to work routines, with hands-on sessions that allow operators to acquire skills directly in the field.
However, we have also established an ongoing feedback system with Logica, which allows us to constantly adapt and improve our training programs as needs and challenges arise.
In conclusion, the common goal is always to ensure that the use of the system is not only efficient, but that operators feel confident and competent in applying the software’s features in their daily work.
How has your experience been regarding the timing required to implement the systems?
Overall, very positive. We worked closely with the implementation team to clearly define objectives and plan implementation steps.
Initially, we conducted a detailed analysis of our business processes and specific requirements, providing a solid basis for system design. During this phase, the team demonstrated expertise in analyzing our needs and adapting the system to our unique requirements.
The training process built into the implementation was well structured and provided our employees with a solid understanding of the new system. The documentation provided during this phase was clear and detailed, facilitating a smooth transition for our team.
Working with the Logica Suite, what are the most relevant benefits you have been able to achieve?
One of the most significant aspects was obtaining unprecedented real-time visibility into all stages of the production process. This level of transparency has enabled us to quickly identify and resolve inefficiencies, minimizing downtime and optimizing production.
The advanced traceability provided by the Logica Suite has been crucial to improving quality management.
We are now able to accurately track every single component along the production chain, facilitating regulatory compliance and ensuring high quality standards.
The partnership with Logica has proven to be a strategic investment that continues to contribute significantly to our company’s success and competitiveness.
Why choose, in conclusion, Logica?
First, the Logica Suite has demonstrated remarkable robustness and flexibility. The ability to adapt to our specific needs was key, allowing us to configure the system to perfectly reflect our unique business processes. This flexibility proved instrumental in ensuring that the system grew with our evolving needs.
The partnership with Logica has also been characterized by excellent customer support. The support team has always been ready to answer our questions and provide timely solutions when issues arise. This level of support has provided us with peace of mind in the adoption and continued use of the Logica Suite.
Finally, Logica’s reputation in the industry and positive feedback from other companies confirmed the solidity and reliability of their MES solution. The decision to choose Logica was, therefore, driven by a combination of proven performance, adaptability to our needs and a strong commitment to service excellence.
In conclusion, we chose Logica as our MES systems partner because their suite matched our expectations, offering a solid technology foundation and ongoing support.
