LET YOUR TEAM PLAY TOGETHER AT ITS BESTA team game can only be won if the whole team plays together perfectly. Intex links all processes in the company and makes sure that the tasks are trans-ferred between the concerned individu-als and departments at lightning speed.

Therefore, everything will be taken care of immediately. Intex’s customers confirm a new order on the same day with a reliable delivery date to their customers.

This is only possible because our soft-ware does not only cover the individual features, but also the entire value chain from development to final costing. A flexible workflow saves paper, fol-low-up work and creates transparency. By integrating the material flow level via mobile scanning and transport con-trol as well as the machines, it becomes transparent for all staff members where an order is and when it will be finished, or if there are any problems.

LET US BE YOUR COACHSince 1995, Intex Consulting GmbH has developed a complete solution especially for the textile industry. This software made in Germany is designed, programmed and tested with German care and precision. Not only are we interested in creating a leading edge solution, but we want to guarantee you the greatest possible benefit.

Coaching is the art of initiating a change of perspective by analyzing, listening and asking targeted questions in order to help others achieve their goals. This is why we coach you before, during and after the software imple-mentation, which enables us to optimize your business processes together with you.

Our questions will challenge your team to optimize and maximize their performance based on their own inner strength. We contribute to this pro-cess our experience from over one hundred international projects and the best practice gained over the years.

Perfect Teamwork

STAY ON TOP OF THINGSHave you ever thought about all the work time that is wasted in your company on providing or receiving information because the sales staff has to run over to production planning, the planner to production and the warehouse worker has to look for the goods?

With Intex, this is no longer necessary! A dashboard provides information on the main key performance indicators. A news feed keeps you posted on all important events in your company.

CREATE ROOM FOR THE THINGS THAT MATTERDid you know that in many companies the sales department spends a lot of time on informing the customers when their goods will arrive? Not only does a delivery delay annoy the customer, but it also causes extra work.

Intex monitors all orders automatically.

Simulations enable the system to recognize delays early and inform the planners and sales staff, who can then react immediately. The system ensures that more than 90 % of all deliveries are on time. Your customers can find out via the internet whether the ordered goods are still in production or already at the ware-house.

And the sales department can focus more on the true sales activities and the sup-port of the traveling sales team.

JOIN FORCES WITH YOUR CUSTOMERAre all your customers satisfied? Satisfied customers buy more! In return, they expect a top-notch service. The main challenges are for the deliveries to be made at the right time, with the right quantity and in the required quality. Therefore, Intex automatically monitors the production orders for you, indicates the order status and whether the product will be ready on time. If production waste occurs, Intex automatically informs the planner, who may

then decide along with sales, if an additional production is required to be initiated. If your customers need special papers or their own la-bels, this is also no problem, nor is it a problem if they need electronic data interchange (EDI). Intex makes sure that existing exclusivity agree-ments are not violated. If the order is a rush order and the goods are not available, the system suggests re-placement articles.

Especially export requires a lot of administrative work, which is signif-icantly facilitated by Intex. And the extensive, cross-client credit man-agement and integration of finan-cial accounting reduce your financial risks as well.

SEND OFF YOUR STRIKERSHas your traveling sales team missed opportunities or was left with nothing from an order?

With the Integrated Customer Rela-tionship Management (CRM), your company organization is entirely ad-justed to your customers. This will not only make you faster than your competitors, but better informed as well. Activities are pursued consist-ently. When your customer calls, you can view the whole customer history either automatically or by pushing one button. This allows you to react quickly to the customer, even if he is actually under a colleague’s care.

It is important to visit customers on a regular basis. The system indicates when the next visit should be made. The customer has not accepted the offer? Intex will remind you before the offer period has expired, so that you can talk to the customer one more time. By means of the Campaign Management, you can prepare an exhibition optimally and significantly increase the number of visitors.

FAST-TRACK YOUR GOODSAre your transport costs too high or does the supply take too long? Logistics continue to become more and more global and therefore increasingly demanding. Short delivery times require an optimal dispatch control and data integration to the logistics company. Intex supports you by selecting the best or fastest transport route, by means of truck planning to determine the necessary loading meters and a forklift control to use your resources as effi-ciently as possible.

LET YOUR MACHINES INTERACTDo you sometimes face quality problems in the production? The 4th industrial revolution is on our doorstep. Im-agine quality control finding too many vegetable fibers at the incoming goods inspection and then automatically changing the setting of the line. Or a different belting weight automatically resulting in the delay to be adjusted in the next operation.

Or imagine a yarn breakage in warping causing a reduced speed of the loom. This would then provide you with higher engine efficiency and reduce quality problems.

Industry 4.0 is about recognizing defects in the production with the help of sensors and imple-menting control loops. This way, defects have a reduced impact or can be entirely avoided, which requires a cross-linking of the production machines, transport, maintenance, planning and quality assurance in one single system. Together with the University RWTH Aachen, we are work-ing on this vision. In the future, we are going to turn textile companies into a “Smart Factory“, which means energy-efficient, clean, flexible and precise.

Every material movement is recorded by an online scanner so that your delivery will always be correct. The internationally recognized and standardized Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) is assigned to each package and electronically transmitted to the carrier, so that you and your customers can track the goods online. The customer receives the papers by e-mail, fax or electronically as soon as the truck leaves the property.

To save you from paying too much, Intex supports you in the audit for the freight costs and distributes these to the customer orders in a source-based man-ner. This way you can always see with which custom-ers you reach an availability deficit. And if you want to optimize your warehouse, Intex will provide you with the necessary movement data.

EXPEDITE YOUR MATERIAL FLOWAre there delays in your production? Are your lead times too long or could your efficiency be improved? Intex will help you to become better and faster. Our customers have been able to reduce their lead times by up to 50 %. Intex considerably improves your timeliness. Some customers have reduced the amount of delayed orders by up to 80 %. You can increase your production efficiency with Intex. The system ensures that the goods are at the correct machine at the right time. Setup times can be avoided due to an opti-mized sequence planning.

Intex includes the special feature of providing a simulta-neous material and capacity planning and is able to plan against a limited capacity. Only few software products are capable of doing this.

With Intex, unrealistic delivery dates are prevented be-cause the system considers both the shop floor scheduling as well as the actual reported production progress. Relat-ed orders of different production stages get reserved mu-tually, which creates an order network. If an event occurs

within this network, the system can calculate the impact down to the customer order. Urgent customer orders can be squeezed in, which increases your flexibility. Optimized for the textile-specific tasks, the MRP run (Material Requirement Planning) can automatically schedule the jobs. The system supports both make-to-order and make-to-stock.

MEASURE YOUR PERFORMANCEDo you know how much money you earned from an order? If not, you might be steering your ship through heavy fog. Intex gives you a clear view by means of a preliminary and final costing. The preliminary one is a direct costing, providing you with the facts that allow you to make a competitive price sometimes. The activity-based costing considers the significant actual cost drivers, instead of calculating with theoretically assumed values. The cost component split enables you to analyze what the proportions of energy or wa-ter costs are in the product. Activity-based costing makes the cost impact of lot size changes visible, which would otherwise be easily overlooked.

Controlling requires detailed data about the material consumption and production; otherwise, weak spots can-not be found and eliminated. Therefore, the production data acquisition and precise production material acqui-sition are integrated in Intex. With this information, Intex is able to recalculate a production order and identify

deviations. This result can be accounted back to the customer order, which means included in the turnover statistics and contribution margin accounting. This allows our customers to

significantly reduce the amount of orders that are economically unviable, which clearly increases their profitability. The product costing analysis also provides the data for

the work in process (WIP) and the monthly result. Every month, accounted perfor-mances are accumulated for each cost center and can be compared to the actual

costs. This allows for the quick identification of incorrect cost rates.

Intex includes an inventory valuation down to the piece or lot level with a monthly archiving and selectable valuations. These can be car-

ried out automatically every month so that you don’t have to face write-offs at the end of the year.

WORK OUT AND SLIM OUTIs your raw material inventory level too high or do you face delays because the raw material is not available in time? If so, your purchasing is using the wrong tool. Intex calculates a precise daily availability of stocks taking into account the current production progress and the projected completion. Not only does this calculation include all existing orders, but also the sales planning for 12 months, for example. This provides purchasing with a perfect tool to ensure an optimum price and accurate availability. In the short term, this means that you will be able to synchronize material supplies precisely with the demands of your production (Just in Time). The truck gets un-loaded and, in the optimum case, the material is immediately taken to production. The stock of raw materials is reduced and delays are avoided.

Stocks may however only be reduced if these are accurate. Therefore, every movement in Intex can be processed via online scanning. When returned to the warehouse from production, goods are weighed to ensure that the warehouse inventory is correct. Unlike other systems, Intex manages the stock with-in production as well, which allows for a consist-ent batch tracing. Intex ensures a stock accuracy of more than 99.8 %. A high stock accuracy can as well help provide a clear statement about the company‘s profits.

The connection of automated storage systems and the control of semi-automatic warehouses are also possible, such as the control of forklifts. This allows you to save costs.

DOCKING INTERFACES IS EASY FOR US Does your company use different systems causing double data entries? Our philosophy is integration. Intex has a large number of well proven interfaces, which we have developed in collaboration with other companies, plus a module kit al-lowing the construction of new interfaces. This reduces your costs and carries the information into the common database of your company.

DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLEDo you have a development manage-ment? Are all your product data stored in one system? Our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) helps you to organize your product and sample development optimally. Apart from the development department, development processes usually involve sales, the final customer, quality assurance, purchasing, and production.

These activities require efficient plan-ning and control. Intex supports you from the initial idea, to the sampling, to development costing and quota-tion. This application combines the entire product knowledge in one sys-tem. Warp and weft patterns, tem-plates, recipes, threadings and weave construction as well as all machine settings are recorded and saved. Spe-cial algorithms determine the time and material required for the production, which ensures the accuracy of your data. Compared to an industry- neutral product, this master data structure reduces the administrative costs by more than 90 %. The search for similar features or usage helps you access the entire knowledge of your company. In the end, you should know how much money you made from a development project. Therefore, offers and orders are linked to it.

HIT THE BULL’S EYEDo your customers have high quality requirements? So do we! Quality in a product cannot be achieved by continuous checks – the product has to be produced accordingly. This is why we not only support you with a sophisticated solution for your quality man-agement, but focus on the whole production chain as well. Quality can only be achieved, if the processes are transparent and carried out accurately.

This starts with the automatic blocking and release of batches, but also primarily concerns the precision in production. For this reason, we make sure that only the proper material may be used and that all setting data are documented with target and actual values and confirmed by the operator, if possible. This com-bination of quality assurance, production control and production data acquisition allows you to easily iden-tify and quickly eliminate the roots of any problems that may occur. In addition to the laboratory control, quality data can as well be captured directly by means of the Production Data Acquisition (PDA) and at goods inspection and reprocessing can be made immediately.

The reason for the goods return is recorded and can later be analyzed. This way, we can re-duce the number of returns by at least 30 %. Not only can a batch be traced over all stages back to the raw material; Intex also shows you all test values that were measured within this order network. The control chart allows you to analyze across colors, sizes and variants and can also provide multiple values in correlation. You can display the results for every yarn supplier or specifically search for a defective machine. To ensure that corrective measures are actual-ly being carried out, Intex includes a complaint handling device based on the 8D-model. By the way, we as well reduce your inspection plan-ning expenses because we can display your full range of products by means of a few check plans. Customized check plans and certificates are of course supported. The system even de-tects the final customer already during pre-pro-duction.

Efficiency

INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF YOUR TEAMDo you really get the most out of your machines? We support you with a production data acquisition (PDA). Mon-itor and observe the operation of your machines and stoppage durations on your smart phone, from the road or when you are at home.

So you can as well keep an eye on the night shift. Increase your efficiency with Intex – by at least 2 % in weav-ing and up to 10 % in finishing. But this is not only about improving your efficiency by analyzing the downtime causes; it is also about the interaction with planning, material flow control, maintenance and costing. Reliable planning depends upon a system that knows the current production progress. Only then, the material supply can be planned quickly and reliably. Especially the setup has high demands on the production data acquisition. This concerns target value displays, carrier tracking, lot formation at the machine, seam detection, recipe retrieval, defect detection, quality data acquisition, line cutting, shrinkage control and the entry of measured values, just to name a few.

Intex covers these issues and makes things easier for the machine operator. The searching for goods, manual shift book and double entries of reports can be omitted. Problems with articles and settings are transparent and can be eliminated. During warp preparation, you not only capture the stoppages, but the insertion times as well. By means of the integrated goods inspection module, we automate your product display. This ensures that the cus-tomer-specific makeup, compensation and quality requirements are met and customer orders are delivered in the correct sequence.

Customized labeling and printing as well as electronic transmission of the defect levels are no longer a problem.
