Accelerate digital transformation in Metal & Mechatronics

Industry-specific ERP for build-to-order and hybrid production
Non-binding Strategy Consultation

Metal and mechatronics companies combine sheet metal and machining work, assembly, and software. Customer-specific work and repeat series run on the same machines, while margins are under pressure and technical staff are scarce. Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific for this hybrid reality.

Your challenges

  • Mix of BTO, MTO, and MTS. Customer-specific work and repeat series on the same shop floor, with shifting priorities.
  • High engineering component. Every customer asks for something slightly different – bills of materials and routings change continuously.
  • Margin erosion due to material prices. Steel, aluminum, and copper fluctuate significantly; energy costs put pressure on profitability.
  • Shortage of technical staff. Your systems must make the most of the available workforce.
  • Demanding customers. Automotive, medical, and aerospace require advanced traceability and supply chain EDI (such as SCSN).

Our industry-specific solution

With Infor CloudSuite, CPQ, PLM, and Factory Track, Xibis delivers an industry-specific platform:

  • BTO, MTO, and CTO in one ERP. All production models side by side, on one set of master data and planning.
  • CPQ with automatic BOM generation. Sales, engineering, and work preparation on the same data – error-free quotes.
  • PLM and CAD integration. Full integration with common CAD systems, plus revision and change management.
  • Factory Track MES for shop floor control. Live data from CNC machines, welding robots, and assembly lines, with OEE monitoring.
  • Supply chain EDI and SCSN connectivity. Prepared for SCSN, automotive EDI, and aerospace portals.

Why Xibis

  • Industry-specific for metal and mechatronics. Hybrid production and project management are standard, not custom-built.
  • 35+ years of Benelux experience. We know the rhythm, the people, and the margins of this sector.
  • One platform. ERP, CPQ, PLM, MES, and integrations under one roof.
