AI at rework for 30% less error rate
Data driven solutions create maximum efficiency in the rework process. For Knorr-Bremse this is an essential quality control process at their plant on…
We bring transparency to the Shopfloor, support sustainable productivity increases and offer a flexible control system for your heterogeneous machine parks.
For over 30 years, many well-known market leaders from various industries have relied on our Shopfloor software. As part of the STIWA Group, the combination of automation, software and production makes us unique worldwide.
We know the problems of our customers. By optimization of rework and reducing rejects by increasing machine efficiency (OOE), by shortening machine ramp-up times and improving cycle time.
Our highly performant, scalable and flexibly adjustable analysis tools provide the basis for optimization measures in performance, availability and quality. From individual machines to a fully digitalized Shopfloor.
STIWA - Shopfloor Software for the production of tomorrow.

Interconnecting the Shopfloor from the sensor to the cloud
Producing sustainably and efficiently is an essential competitive factor and the basis for successful economic growth. In Europe in particular, the most successful production facilities will be those that process complex products with low manpower, in 4 shifts and with the help of new integrated technologies in short setup cycles in an automated and process-reliable manner. Interconnecting the entire Shopfloor, from the sensor to the cloud, is becoming indispensable.
We are pioneers in the digitization of Shopfloor processes with a focus on assembly systems for manufacturing highly complex assembly groups. We use data from all available sources from upstream processes such as a base production or pre-assembly to information from quality laboratories, logistics and IT – combined with our comprehensive industry know-how as a plant manufacturer and operator. We pick up the data where it originates and thus form the basis for the visualization, optimization and control of your Shopfloor.

This is what our customers say
Without the AMS Analysis-CI we’d not have achieved what we have today - namely a transparent, reliable, and controlled production. By means of AMS-Analysis CI, we could reduce our ramp-up time by 30 to 40 percent!
Peter Nieslon
Manager Industrial Engineering Valeo Wischersysteme GmbH
Within a few weeks, the OK output of the plant was increased by more than 10 %. The reject rate was reduced significantly. After one year, the rate of increase of OK output already stood at 40 %.
Kilian Seiler
Project manager Festo AG & Co. KG
The AMS Analysis-Cl we developed together with STIWA Group is running very promisingly for us. We expect an improvement of the functional-test-failure-rate by 30 percent from it.
