Software for Automotive Industry

The automobile industry includes designing, manufacturing and marketing of various types of vehicles for the transport of people and goods. These include trucks, cars, scooters, etc. The automobile industry began in the USA in the 1890s, and for almost a century, it was the world’s leading automobile manufacturer. Then it was over taken by Japan. However, currently China holds the top position in automobile production, followed by USA and Japan. Germany and Mexico are some other major players in this sector. In India, the industry is located near the big cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bengaluru.

The premier automobile making companies in the world are Toyota (Japan), Volkswagen (Germany), Hyundai (South Korea), General Motors (USA) and Ford (USA).

It is crucial to have a streamlined and optimized business in the automobile industry. Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP or ERP for automobile industry can help an industry grow to a much higher level. With an ERP software implemented at its fullest in an automobile industry it is much easier to overcome industrial challenges like, quality customer service and delivery management. In an automotive industry many inter linked processes are to be managed without is a single mistake. This is easier using an ERP software. It is also available on cloud. This software keeps a record of our profits, losses and investments. It works on different levels, form HR management to printing of pay rolls.

A study by the CIO Magazine published in 2008 revealed that nearly 85% of the respondents agreed that ERP systems were vital to the core operation of their automobile industry, adding that it was very crucial to live without it.

Benefits of using an ERP system in an Automobile Industry:

• Integration of value chain activities
• Inventory Management
• Controlling and Monitoring several projects simultaneously
• Enterprise visibility
• Operational excellence
• Reduction in errors
• Improved CRM and real-time information access. India is expected to be the 3rd largest passenger-vehicle market by 2021.

Mind is never a problem. Mindset is.

Software for Steel Industry

The Steel and Fabrication Industry is also known as a basic industry or feeder industry as it provides the basis for operation of other industries. The products from this industry are used as raw materials by other industries. The steel industry is a heavy industry because it uses bulky raw materials such as iron ore, coal, limestone, manganese, labour, capital as well as other infrastructure. Refining iron ore, smelting it in a blast furnace and manufacturing steel are the processes involved in this industry. After the iron is extracted from its ore, the molten iron is cooled and moulded to make pig iron. Impurities are then removed and pure iron is obtained. Some amount of carbon is mixed with this pure iron to obtain steel. The steel industry has largely developed in the region where iron ore and coal are easily available. The USA has a number of steel producing centres, such as Alabama, Youngstown, etc. In Europe well developed steel industries are located in UK, France, Germany, etc. China and Japan are other steel producing countries. In India, steel industries are concentrated in the Chhota Nagpur and Deccan regions. The main centres are Jamshedpur, Bokaro, Rourkela, etc. Metal fabrication is the creation of metal (steel) structures by involving processes like assembling, cutting and bending.

ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP for Steel and fabrication is a wizard tool for the steel industry. In fact, the steel and fabrication industry has seen tremendous growth in the last few years with the advancement of technology. Many steel and fabrication industries turn up for ERP software to streamline and optimize their business. After successful implementation of an ERP software in an industry, it can reap much more than before. Though the fabrication industry is a small scale business but serving a wide range of industries and being a feeder or basic industry must use hi-tech software called ERP. ERP is a software available on cloud that helps you to handle your investments as well as your profits and losses. It can be helpful in many ways such as, planning, processing of the different metals, fabricating to make different machines and tools, and also selling them.

How can an ERP software help our business grow:

• ERP can transform unstructured processes into routine transactions such as electronic approval of purchase orders based on predefined company policies.
• ERP can replace or reduce the human labour involved in processes, like matching of supplier invoices based on accepted purchase receipts.
• ERP can transfer information rapidly and with ease over large distances. It is now possible for various offices and factories of an organization to perform transactions and analysis on the same server, reducing geographical distances.
• ERP can help manufacturing companies in carrying out analysis such as: Forecasting of market demand based on statistical models; Capturing of hidden market trends through multi-dimensional analysis; Identification of potential improvement areas.
• ERP can bring a vast amount of detailed information into the process.
• ERP can enable changes in the sequence of task in the process, often allowing multiple tasks to be performed concurrent
• ERP allows the capture and dissemination of knowledge and expertise to improve the process.
• ERP allows detailed tracking of task status, inputs and outputs.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

Software for Textile Industry

The textile industry is one of the most important and oldest industries of the world. The term textile refers to woven fabric. The raw materials for textiles are obtained from plants and animals. Plant products such as cotton, jute and flax, and animal products such as wool and silk, provide us with natural fibres. Synthetic fibres such as rayon, nylon and polyester, have become increasingly popular. Cotton is the most popular fibre. The industrial revolution brought about a dramatic change in the textile industry. Important inventions as that of the flying shuttle (1733), carding machine (1748) and spinning mule (1779) introduced rapid developments in the cotton textile industry. The power loom came into use which helped the production process. Today, there are 3 types of mills —— spinning mills (produce yarn), weaving mills (produce cloth) and composite mills (produce yarn and cloth). Cotton textiles are mainly manufactured in the USA, the UK, China, Russia, Japan, India, etc. In India, cotton textile mills are mainly located in the cotton producing states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Kanpur, Kolkata, and Delhi are other centres of this industry. The first cotton textile mill was set up in Mumbai in 1854. Also, Mumbai is the largest centre cotton textile production and is, thus, known as the Cottonopolis of India. In context with the market size, it was estimated to US$ 150 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach US$ 250 billion in 2019 in India.

The textile industry usually deals with designing and manufacturing cloth and sometimes even selling it. With the advancement of technology in the past years, the textile industry is incorporating numerous methods of updated technology. These days, textile industries are using advanced software called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or textile ERP or ERP for textiles. This software (ERP) for textile industry can be helpful in many ways such as, planning, development, manufacturing, distribution as well as selling the textiles. This software are also available on cloud called cloud ERP that keeps an updated record of the investments and profits of the industry. An ERP software can be used by smaller as well as larger textile industries. This software can be edited according to the needs of the industry which is a major advantage of using ERP. It can operate on different levels, from the generation of payrolls to financial and legal matters. An ERP software is a one in all solution to any textile industry.

Benefits of using a software in a textile industry are:

1. Streamlined Manufacturing Facilities
2.  Easy Handling of Payments and Receipts 
3. Merchandise Inventory Management
4. Improved Collaboration and Networking
5. Mobile Data Access & Security
6. Management of Supplier and Customer Queries
7. Personalized Data Handling Platform

The Indian government agencies have come up with numerous export promotion policies for the textile industries. It has also allowed 100 per cent FDI in the Indian textiles sector under the automatic route.

By saying Make in India, we are not only inviting companies for cost-effective manufacturing, but also giving them an opportunity of a large market for their products.
