With their long-standing success record in working with auto makers, suppliers, machine and plant manufacturers and medical technology providers, the Coristo consultants can rapidly separate attainable targets from theoretical daydreams, implementing successful solutions that quickly prove their worth on the ground. SAP business software is frequently a core component of digital transformation processes within enterprises and plays a major role in implementing Industry 4.0 strategies.
Effective immediately, CENIT is also the partner of choice for all matters related to another central consideration of Industry 4.0: The aspect of product structuring. We offer end-to-end modularization concepts for all facets from CAD methodology to functional modeling, application within the logistics chain and spare parts lists for predictive maintenance. The CENIT portfolio thus extends all the way from the early phases of strategy planning to professional operation of the implemented solution. "In the coming years, digital transformation and mega-topics like Industry 4.0 will be core issues for many of our clients. The 4th industrial revolution holds enormous opportunities - but the challenges for the IT industry are equally enormous.
