Acron Group has completed the scaling of the Digital Procurement Control project at its flagship production facility in Veliky Novgorod. The project was designed by Acron Digital (LLC IT Office) as part of Acron Group’s production and engineering digitalisation programme.
This solution is an integral part of the Group’s AIS ERP system to automate procurement, inspection and accounting of feedstock, equipment and materials. The system provides a unified digital platform for the entire procurement process, from drafting purchase orders and executing contracts to carrying out inspections, making digital documents, and evaluating supply quality.
The project includes the following elements:
- Generating orders for procurement control automatically upon receipt of supplies
- Using approved control programmes under the corporate inventory classifier
- Introducing electronic maps and procurement control logs
- Drafting and signing digital certificates for procurement control results in the electronic document management system
- Restricting the use of supplies that failed the procurement control
- Ensuring complete traceability of each batch of goods.
The solution helps to promptly detect discrepancies, mitigate the risk of using substandard materials, prevent unscheduled shutdowns, and improve reliability of production processes.
Mikhail Yaskevich, Acron’s Chief Engineer, believes that the digital procurement control is essential for managing production reliability: ‘Now, we have a transparent and manageable procurement control process integrated into the corporate AIS ERP system, which ensures high standards of industrial safety and product quality’.
Denis Guzanov, CEO of Acron Digital (LLC IT Office), said, ‘The Digital Procurement Control project is an element of Acron Group’s unified digital production management system, which was launched in Veliky Novgorod as part of the AIS ERP system development. It is yet another step towards creating a single digital platform to manage the Group’s production assets’.
