Madeleine Mickeleit mit Tobias Friedrich, Logistikleiter bei Epple Druckfarben AG, und Marco Müller, Projektleiter bei Innomat-Automation AG, über die Einführung eines IoT-Systems zur digitalen Chargenverfolgung in der chemischen Produktion.Im Mittelpunkt stehen automatisierte Wiegeprozesse, eine nahtlose ERP-Integration mit Kalisto IoT und die Schaffung einer skalierbaren Datenbasis für weitere Digitalisierungsschritte.Folge 170 auf einen Blick (und Klick):(05:43) Herausforderungen, Potenziale und Status quo – So sieht der Use Case in der Praxis aus(10:53) Lösungen, Angebote und Services – Ein Blick auf die eingesetzten TechnologienPodcast ZusammenfassungChargenverfolgung digitalisieren: Wie Epple Druckfarben mit Innomat die Produktion zukunftssicher machtIn dieser Folge dreht sich alles um ein Praxisprojekt aus der chemischen Industrie – konkret um die digitale Chargenverfolgung bei Epple Druckfarben, einem traditionsreichen Familienunternehmen mit über 150 Jahren Geschichte. Gemeinsam mit dem IoT-Spezialisten Innomat Automation AG wurde ein zentrales Digitalisierungsvorhaben umgesetzt, das weit über Standardlösungen hinausgeht.Die Herausforderung:Bisher lief die Rückverfolgbarkeit von Rohstoffen, Halbfabrikaten und Fertigprodukten bei Epple teils manuell über Papier und Excel. Bei Produktabweichungen oder Audits war das zeitaufwendig, fehleranfällig – und kaum skalierbar. Zudem erschwerten unterschiedliche Wiegesysteme und Schnittstellen eine durchgängige Datennutzung.Die Lösung:Mit Kalisto IoT von Innomat wurde eine einheitliche, hochintegrierte Lösung geschaffen: bestehende Dosieranlagen und Handarbeitsplätze wurden über individuell entwickelte Schnittstellen angebunden, Wiegedaten werden nun automatisch erfasst, validiert und in Echtzeit ans Cloud-ERP (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central) zurückgemeldet. Besonders clever: Auch Chargensplits und Mischprozesse mit mehreren Rohstoffquellen sind voll digital dokumentiert.Das Ergebnis:Ein durchgängiger Datenfluss, einheitliche Benutzeroberflächen, verbesserte Prozesssicherheit – und eine Basis für weitere IoT-Anwendungen wie Statusverfolgung und automatisiertes Monitoring.Diese Folge ist ein Muss für alle, die Digitalisierung in der Produktion wirklich umsetzen wollen – ob in der Chemie, im Verpackungsdruck oder in anderen Branchen mit hohen Qualitätsanforderungen.-----Relevante Folgenlinks:Madeleine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-mickeleit/)Marco (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-m%C3%BCller-4569658/)Tobias (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobias-friedrich-605b4032b/)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen

This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software. For Dynamics 365 Business Central users, the decision between embedded and external accounts payable (AP) automation solutions can have a lasting impact on the organization. To understand the topic further, we spoke with Rob Ashe, Vice President of North America at SignUp Software, and David Huether, Chief Commercial Officer at NEXT 365 for North America, about their organizations' experiences partnering on Business Central projects and what they are learning from finance leaders implementing AP automation solutions. BC customers want to invest in AP automation that delivers both greater efficiency and better operating conditions like improved security, integration, and consistency for user experiences. The partnership between SignUp Software and Next365 is providing unique results in areas like process assessment and optimization, executive-level advisory scenarios, and implementation acceleration. For example, David shared a case study from the energy sector where Next365 helped a client replace an outdated industry-standard system with SignUp's ExFlow, achieving a lower total cost of ownership while improving functionality and reducing vendor lock-in. Our guests also discuss some of the key market drivers that will propel their partnership forward, specifically around the needs of CFOs building more complex and constrained organizations. They also offer BC users some ideas for the future around financial performance and how to start making measurable steps forward in modernizing AP.

We're wrapping up our Directions North America 2025 coverage with more perspective from channel veterans  who were listening and presenting. Robert Jolliffe, Andrew King, and David Laster talked to MSDW during and just after the event. They shared their impressions of Microsoft's presence, the impact they expect from pre-built AI agents like the Sales Order Agent, and Power BI advances. And as Microsoft partners, they were also listening for the company's updates on how Business Central-focused firms can do better in the channel. And no North American SMB-focused ERP event would be complete without an update on Microsoft's push to help partners migrate Dynamics GP customers to Business Central. As our guests explain, that pathway remains complex.

The Wellington Chamber of Commerce says the council needs to financially compensate businesses affected by the Golden Mile works. Construction on the Kent and Cambridge intersection with Courtenay Place will begin in April, as part of the project to revitalise the city's tired night-life stretch. Mayor Tory Whanau previously floated a business support package, but officials yesterday said that was no longer an option. Business Central CEO Simon Arcus told Mike Hosking that while the works need to be done, support for operators is a must. He says it's not good enough to put businesses and livelihoods in peril and not offer any protection. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HighlightsCurrent Challenges (00:48)Manny names capital allocation as a major challenge for the office of the CFO. They spend much time thinking about which technologies and industry solutions are best to invest in. They have to determine which investments take priority, such as investing in tech that benefits the company's back office versus their customers. Value creation is also a key consideration. “Our analysis on where do we invest those dollars has gotten a lot more granular and a lot more scrutiny around those decisions,” he says.“Many of the CFOs face the challenge of doing more with less when money has gotten a bit more expensive,” Hedin raises. Another challenge he notes is regulatory aspects. The three C's — cost, control, and compliance — need to be as efficient as possible. Determining how to leverage AI can be a challenge on the technology side.AI Impact (07:17)When building out large language models (LLMs) and algorithms, you have to ensure you have the right governance and controls internally on the data to get the desired outcome. This is vital when starting out leveraging new technologies to drive business decisions and efficiencies. While this can be daunting, “there's a lot of value to it,” Manny notes. Once it's tested and secure internally, the next phase of an AI journey is to look at it from a customer-facing perspective.Hedin shares customer examples of applying machine learning and AI. “In the financial process automation space, AI is definitely saving a lot of time already today for a lot of CFOs,” Hedin says.CFO AI Concerns and Second Half Mindset (11:30)Korakis says the biggest risk is that AI outputs don't necessarily align with the question an employee is seeking to answer. If a person thinks they're feeding the algorithm or LLM all the right data points but they're actually not, that's a big issue. His company is ensuring good data governance.Microsoft has made Copilot actionable for ISVs like Signup; since it's embedded in Finance and Operations as well as Business Central, there are actions that weren't available before, Hedin says. It's one thing to get intelligent responses, but when you can also start doing things such as generating a PO if one's missing, then you have an assistant that can do a lot more things for you. It's really exciting in terms of customer problems that can be solved.Korakis says in the first half of the year there's been a lot of disruption in the macro environment that followed supply chain challenges: rising interest rates that created caution and the need to be very thoughtful in using investment dollars has slowed things down a bit. “I see that starting to phase off” and CFOs are more willing to spend as the second half approaches.D365 Trends (15:09)Hedin says AI is one big, obvious trend with Dynamics 365. The other is new regulatory demands. If you send an invoice to a customer in Italy you need to go through their tax authorities now so they can track it. A US customer asked to start invoicing in Germany and needed guidance. It varies by country. That's a big challenge for the international companies as well – how to handle that in an efficient way.
