Bayer Strada: Revolutionizing Manufacturing Operations with Integrated Systems

As an innovative leader in industrial manufacturing, Bayer Strada has embarked on a journey to enhance production efficiency and quality across its operational complex in Gyergyóremete.

The client was faced with significant challenges due to an under-resourced development team and the absence of integrated systems, leading to inefficiencies in tracking inventory, enforcing quality control, and coordinating data across multiple facilities.
 
Recognizing the urgent need for a centralized platform to address these issues, Bayer Strada sought a reliable partner with expertise in system integration and digital transformation, ultimately partnering with Sonrisa in early 2023. Our team was eager to tackle this challenge by developing the BURA (Bayer Unified Resource Analyzer) system, a comprehensive digital solution tailored to their unique operational challenges.
 
Our collaboration closely involved Bayer Strada’s team, utilizing agile methodologies to ensure flexibility and responsiveness to their evolving needs. We created a modular system that incorporated Warehouse Management (WMS), Manufacturing Execution (MES), Quality Management (QMS), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) components. This integration allowed Bayer Strada to not only streamline their manufacturing processes but also maintain compliance with strict quality standards while optimizing storage management for their extensive inventory of potatoes.
 
By deploying the BURA system, we enhanced their capacity for real-time monitoring and data synchronization. Key modules like the WMS managed the tracking of 20,000 tons of potatoes, while the MES facilitated real-time insights into the potato flake production process, ensuring quality control through automated checks. Furthermore, the integration with existing financial systems provided a cohesive workflow across different departments.
 
The results were impressive! Bayer Strada experienced notable improvements in production cycle times, inventory accuracy, and overall manufacturing efficiency. Moreover, compliance with EFS Food Standards and Global Gap standards was significantly enhanced, directly impacting their reputation and standing in the industry.
 
In conclusion, our partnership with Bayer Strada is a compelling testament to our ability to deliver integrated digital solutions that address complex operational challenges. By aligning our expertise with their vision for quality and efficiency, we have not only solved immediate issues but also paved the way for sustainable growth and innovation in their manufacturing practices. As we continue this relationship, we remain committed to enhancing operational capabilities and supporting Bayer Strada’s journey towards manufacturing excellence.
