The label manufacturer robos-labels and theurer.com, provider of the market leading ERP/MIS software C3 are collaborating to analyse and systematise recurring complex requirements in the industry.

The aim for both companies is to exploit the potential of digitalisation and Industry 4.0 in the long term and further expand their positions on the market.

theurer.com intends to improve existing product components and develop new functions – with the goal of a digitised smart factory. robos-labels is interested in improving the entire customer and employee journey and wants to transform complex and extensive applications into standardised and user-friendly processes. Among other things, this involves reducing processing times to shorten the time from the idea, through the development and design phase, to production and delivery.

Tobias Theurer, managing director theurer.com, ‘As a software provider, we work with visionary cooperation partners who have the same demand for quality and for the further development of processes as we do. robos-labels is a perfect fit for us as a medium-sized company that thinks and acts innovatively. We pursue the same goals.’

In addition, robos-labels expects its ERP system C3 to play a central and leading role in the future, with upstream and downstream processes being interlinked across suppliers. This networking is not to be limited to internal processes such as the networking and documentation of in-process controls and automated print data workflows, but will also deliberately incorporate customer-facing processes such as EDI connections and networked project development steps. By using artificial intelligence – e.g. in production planning – processes are to be automated and employees optimally supported.

Simon Reuter, managing partner robos-labels, ‘robos-labels has complex and fundamentally different use cases almost every day, for which there are often no simple answers. With theurer, we have now found a strategic partner who, as an IT specialist, will help us to make this complexity manageable and more user-friendly for the benefit of our customers and employees.’

For this purpose, the robos-labels Group has created a new position of Digital Transformation, which was filled with Slavik Babenko. Mr. Babenko knows all administrative and production processes and, through his studies in network technology, also brings the necessary IT knowledge that this position and cooperation require.
