Digitalisation that arrives on the shop floor.

We at Röhrig Industrie Consulting treat digitalisation as a management and process subject, not an IT project. We do not sell pure IT or AI consulting, and we do not sell software. Where a process did not work before, no system will fix it. So the starting point is not the system landscape but the decision situation: which figure does the board look at on Monday, and how long does it take before it can be relied on? From that follows which data is needed, where ERP and MES have to mesh, and which reports can be dropped entirely.

On that basis we automate what costs time daily — order creation, confirmations, planning runs, recurring reports. AI is held to the same standard as any investment: assessed on effect, data situation, effort and risk; started as a tightly scoped pilot; rolled out only once the benefit is measurable. Delivery happens in the line, together with plant management, work preparation, controlling and IT — and where useful with our partners Siemens, CONTACT Software, Lead Automation and Ignite Group.

Typical mandates

Missing transparency

Figures arrive weeks late and contradict each other between ERP, Excel and the shop floor report. We unify the data basis and build a dashboard showing result, on-time delivery and utilisation as of today.

A stalled rollout

An ERP or MES project has run for months without the process changing. We clarify requirements, master data and interfaces from the process side and bring the rollout into productive operation with clear steering.

AI without effect

There are ideas and vendors, but no use case that holds. We assess the initiatives on data situation and effect, set up a pilot, and decide on the rollout from measurable results.

Knowledge tied to people

Critical workflows exist only in the heads of long-serving staff. We capture that knowledge in a structured way, place it in the systems and make it usable for onboarding and cover.
