Managing our data centrally and further exploiting the possibilities of digitalization helps us stay one step ahead of the competition," said Beffers.

Rademaker not only manufactures machines, but also consults on production processes and installs complete turnkey production plants. Suppliers and service providers like Rademaker can thrive in this highly competitive industry if they consistently take advantage of the benefits of digitalization. A company-wide PLM platform is critical for bringing together and analyzing information about processes, machines, and services. With Aras Innovator, it is now possible to digitally link operating and performance data and accurately track the machines throughout their entire lifecycle.
