The challenge

Ploeg Kozijnen is a manufacturer specialising in plastic window frames and dormers. With a growing organisation and a strong focus on quality and customisation, Ploeg sets high standards for its product and for the systems that support its production. Data plays a central role in this: only when the figures are right can you make the right decisions as a production company.

As the organization grew, it became increasingly difficult to keep track of production. Data on lead times, capacity, and quality was scattered across different systems and provided insufficient basis for decisions on the shop floor. Ploeg Kozijnen needed a central place where all production data came together: reliable, validated, and understandable for everyone in the organization.

For this, they did not look for a supplier who would set up a system and then leave. They looked for a partner who would build it together with them, share knowledge, and enable the organization to continue on its own.

Approach and solution

Together with Ploeg Kozijnen, we consciously chose a compact approach. Instead of setting up an extensive project, we first asked the question: where can we make the most impact? That focus determined the scope.

Next, we didn’t build the platform for Ploeg, but with Ploeg. Knowledge transfer wasn’t an afterthought at the end of the project, but a fixed part of every step. The Ploeg Kozijnen team was involved from day one in the choices that were made and the logic behind the system, so they could carry on independently afterwards.

"The collaboration with Summix is practical, solution-oriented, and results-driven. This enables them to present significant insights through small steps. With these insights, we take the next step in predictive maintenance and can, through proper planning, reduce maintenance costs and increase output."
- Ronald van den Ing, General Manager of Ploeg Kozijnen

The results

Ploeg Kozijnen now has immediate insight into what is happening in production. Lead times, capacity, quality: the data is accurate, and that gives the entrepreneur the confidence to make decisions faster and better. No longer working on gut feelings, but on figures you can trust.

On top of that, the team is no longer on its own. They understand how the system is built, can develop it further themselves and don’t depend on an external party for every change. The investment in knowledge transfer pays off on the shop floor every day.
