Cotonificio Albini, the largest European manufacturer of shirt fabrics, has invested in new business cloud software to help digitise control maintenance costs, purchasing and component replenishment.
With factories in Italy, Egypt and the Czech Republic, Cotonificio Albini manages a large portfolio of assets.
The company has chosen Infor CloudSuite EAM (enterprise asset management) to provide a global and unified platform with common graphics to offer more efficient and effective ways of operating.
Implemented by Infor’s Italian partner Know-How, Cotonificio Albini will use a series of modules relating to the request of a work order after a fault has been reported, work order planning for maintenance workers, the procurement and consumption of spare materials and inventory-related activities, intra-warehouse transfers and specific user-warehouse authorisations.
Finally, a customised process was created for the specific needs of the textile company relating to the deadlines of warehouse lots for the management of laboratory products.
The roll-out of the solution will take place in three phases, with the initial go-live in Italy planned during the first quarter of 2020, followed by the branches in Egypt and the Czech Republic.
