Petruzzi Printing Industries – our experience with Logica MES
Petruzzi Industria Grafica, founded by Corrado Petruzzi in the seventies, is deeply rooted in Città di Castello, Umbria. Born as artisan, grew up as an industry, in fact, he’s been able to expand the plant at 8.000 sqm, installing latest technology machines, especially for large format and editorial printing.
Five, were the operators when the company started in the seventies, fifty are the professional profiles today employed there, which testify the constant growing along the three passionate generations, today driven by the founder son.
Company dimensions increasing, as well as the growth of customers base and complexity of the jobs handled, required a deep review of the informative systems and management methodologies. Receiving information only when jobs were completed was not enough anymore; they needed to adopt an informative system allowing a steady and continuous monitoring, both production and the financial indicators.
Here the decision to entrust Logica with the MIS ProtoX, the integrated informative system covering all tasks in the company from making quotation, up to provide jobs post calculation, and regarding MES, with Logica 4.0 system connecting ten costs centres, in real time.
