Automation of CoC Processes for Highly Configurable Vehicles.
Automation and digitalization of the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) Process has become an integral necessity for vehicle manufacturers since the introduction of EU Regulation (EU) 167/2013, especially when they are dealing with highly configurable vehicles. This case takes a closer look at how VCX can support you and your business when you’re approaching this particular task.
Distinguishing Problem Features – Your Starting Point.
Homemade Solutions
You spend a significant amount of time manually tending your data with an error-prone Word/Excel solution. You’re now looking for a reliable solution that can keep up with the pace of your business.
Heavyweight Processes
You’re looking for a robust, cost-efficient, low-maintenance and easily workable system to handle increasing workload.
Intertwined Systems
You require a solution that’s not tied exclusively into your OMS and ERP systems in order to keep all systems up-to-date at all times – independently of each other, if necessary.
Adaptability
You aim to comprehensively future-proof your business and make sure, you’re able to act swiftly upon shifts in the market, technical developments or changes in legal requirements.
The Digitalization of Your Manufacturing Processes.
Smooth manufacturing processes require interruptions between the original order for one of your products and its delivery to be kept at a minimum. However, new legal requirements around the world, changing markets and increasing technological and economic pressure alike cause these processes to become ever more complex and prone to errors. Manual processes using Word and Excel have proven not to be up to the challenge anymore –handling this is now up to solutions utilizing the advantages of comprehensive digital systems and process automation. With this in mind, let's take a look at what VCX can do for you.
Your VCX Integration Goals.
One of the prerequisites for a smooth, modern manufacturing process is the automatic documentation of each order as it is being produced. To optimize this process, VCX, once fully integrated into your systems, recognizes the earliest possible time for a comparison of the machine data with your ERP. If everything is in order, it triggers the generation of the full set of related documentation and archives it in its designated place right away – where it is safely stored for at least ten years in accordance with the current law.
Should VCX detect a data mismatch or error, it immediately triggers a message through your system, giving you ample time to address the error right away while the process is prevented from progressing and carrying the problem along any further. To ensure flawless data quality and minimize procedural steps for both man and machine, VCX is linked into your ERP system in a way that all threads from order management, machine data, source data and all VCX functions come together within the ERP itself. That way, you’re just one button away from a completed, corrected and securely stored data set for your product, ready to be printed out at any given time.
- Automatic creation of all relevant documents
- Document completion at the earliest possible point in time
- Processing of order management and fulfilment within ERP system
- Automatic archiving of all issued documents
How VCX is Integrated into Your Manufacturing Process.
To implement the aforementioned point of automated document generation, an additional step will be added to the order process of your ERP system. At a specified point in the order process, e.g. when an invoice is issued, the ERP system will activate the VCX API and transmit a request for document generation containing the following information:
- Vehicle identification Number
- Material and characteristic values of the vehicle as stored in the order
- List of required documents to be generated for the order
In response, VCX automatically determines the correct technical values for the required documents based on the data provided and generates them instantly. It then generates a unique reference number and attaches it to the corresponding order for the ERP system to access and retrieve the documents at any given time.
In one final step, the ERP system automatically retrieves and archives the requested documents, making them available directly within the order, should you wish to physically print them.
