inforum for
machinery and plant engineering
Customer-specific projects, high variant diversity and long project cycles characterize machinery and plant engineering. From design to service, workflows must remain consistently controllable and traceable despite parallel structures and changing requirements. inforum connects development, production and service on a shared data basis and provides the structural foundation for this.
Complex projects on a shared data basis
Machinery and plant engineering companies manufacture standard products as well as highly customized plants and systems. Each project brings its own requirements, its own dependencies and its own course. Development, procurement, production and service work in parallel on different phases, suppliers are involved at an early stage and decisions must be made quickly while being documented in a traceable manner at the same time.
Customer-specific requirements and project-related workflows shape day-to-day operations, and quality assurance must cover both. At the same time, demands for standards compliance, documentation and traceability are increasing, even in project-oriented environments.
- Project information centrally available
In project-based workflows, information is often distributed across systems, departments and stakeholders. inforum makes project data available in context and creates a shared basis for all parties involved. - Changes tracked consistently
Customer requirements, technical adjustments and supplier changes directly affect design, manufacturing and schedules. inforum makes changes traceable and ensures they are consistently incorporated into all affected areas. - Managing quality on a project basis
Quality requirements vary from project to project and must be planned, assured and documented individually. inforum ensures that requirements, deviations and measures remain manageable throughout the entire project lifecycle. - Bringing field insights back into the process
Experience from commissioning, maintenance and operations is valuable information for future projects. inforum ensures that these insights are captured in a structured manner and fed back into development and production.
Conformity to standards and methodological competence
Standards and customer requirements define the framework in machinery and plant engineering. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VDA and project-related documentation obligations must be met without placing a burden on project workflows.
inforum embeds audit-readiness into ongoing operations. Processes, evidence and documentation are structured and available at all times, regardless of whether the project involves series production or a custom-built plant. Requirements are not fulfilled retroactively but are integrated into the process from the outset.

inforum in use for machinery and plant engineering
Supplier management
Suppliers are an integral part of project execution. inforum enables transparent management of supplier performance, progress and risks across the entire project context.
Quality management
Quality must be planned, assured and documented on a project basis. inforum ensures that requirements, deviations and measures remain traceable throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Production management
Custom orders and projects require consistent management of planning, execution and quality assurance. inforum creates transparency across schedules, resources and progress throughout the entire production workflow.
Integrated management systems
Processes, documentation and standards requirements must be consistently mapped and verifiable in project business. inforum provides the structural foundation for traceable and permanently audit-ready workflows.
Field Service Management
Insights from commissioning, maintenance and operations must be captured in a structured manner and fed back into development and production. inforum ensures that information from service and complaints is recorded in a structured way.
Digital apps
Sales, configuration, production and service are directly connected to operational processes. inforum enables the consistent use of project and product data across all areas.
