“We’ve benefited greatly from the sector-specific solution delivered by Capgemini.”
Ewa Nilsson, Business Developer, ABB Cewe-Control
The Situation
The Cewe-Control division of ABB Automation Products manufactures, develops and markets products and solutions that control and distribute electrical energy at voltages of up to 1,000 volts. Cewe-Control markets itself globally to customers in all sectors. The business, with its 550 employees distributed over three locations in Sweden, needed a solution that would meet Cewe-Control’s future needs. This is where Capgemini came in with its standard configured solution for the manufacturing industry, based on SAP.
The Solution
The project began with the Västerås unit, after which it was rolled out to the other units. All that remains now is to replace the present production system in Nyköping. “The roll-out has gone quickly and smoothly, and has stuck to budget,” says Ewa Nilsson, Business Developer at ABB Cewe-Control.
The Result
Cewe-Control has benefited greatly from the solution. According to Ewa Nilsson, the annual cost of the business system was cut by approximately 50% enabling the project to quickly pay for itself. The greatest advantage comes from having an integrated system.
“We are very impressed by the solution, the development of which keeps pace with the new demands of our industry. We’ve been able to incorporate new businesses and new solutions quickly and cost-effectively,” says Mrs Nilsson.
