PLM in Road Construction


A PLM solution enables the Wirtgen Group to provide comprehensively optimized processes from development to service. Using SAP PLM, the companies Wirtgen GmbH and Joseph Vögele AG, both members of the Wirtgen Group, integrated the CAD systems NX and ME10. The product data is thus available immediately in downstream processes such as manufacturing and the drawing up of documentation.

“Innovative products and complete product lines are responsible for our fast growth. For example, in less than three years our engineers have developed the complete line of small milling machines, that is nine different machine types. At Joseph Vögele AG, all serial machines are new developments from the last two years” says Dr. Peter Mielke, head of information management at Wirtgen GmbH.

A high degree of innovation, a high vertical range of manufacture and increasing delivery figures constitute an enormous challenge for product development and the smooth cooperation with manufacture, logistics and service” emphasizes Dr. Peter Mielke. “Thus, an optimization of our engineering and logistics processes was all the more important” Dr. Peter Mielke explains, “to ensure high productivity”.
