Project : Web Based Trading Platform– “eMarket”
Company : Hoerbiger KT Asia Singapore Introduction
‘Hoerbiger’ is a leading name across the Globe for Manufacturing
of Valves for the Compressor. The plate type valve, widely used
on majority of compressors worldwide, was designed by Mr. Hanns
Hoerbiger and patented in 1895.
They have manufacturing facility in Austria, USA, UK, Germany, Czech,
China and India. The Head Office (HO) is at Austria and Regional
Office for Asia-Pacific is at Singapore where as the Sales Offices
(SO) are of two types
1) Non-ERP SO (Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, New Zealand,
Korea, Thailand etc.),
2) Local-ERP SO (Japan, China, India, 2 in Australia and Singapore).
The HO at Austria runs SAP, SO at Singapore uses AccPac. The SO
at India uses InfoERP and Japan & China uses Exact.
Challenge
• All the SO’s in Asia Pacific had to communicate with
HO at Austria for all their requirements such as quotations, Pricing,
Material Availability information, Supplies etc. This also led to
a situation wherein the SOs were not in a position to get the best
Rates and information as regards to the right Product Supplier /
material availability status. The situation created a need to have
a single location / 2 tier interface from where all the enquiries
from the SO can be handled which required a paradigm shift in the
current way of operations and a call for the entire Business Process
Re-engineering.
• The Majority of Local ERP SO were reluctant to login to
any software system, created a need to develop an common software
interface for exchanging data between eMarket, PS ERP’s and
local ERP’s.

Project : Master Production Scheduling “MPS” for SAP/R3
Company : Sudarshan Chemicals Industries Ltd.
Introduction
‘Sudarshan’ is a leading name for pigment and agrochemical
sector for over 50 years. They are the first chemical company in
India to be awarded the ISO 9001 certificate for their Pigment Division.

the Customer Relationship Module to this software.
Production of pigments and pesticides is carried out at plants in
Pune, Roha & Mahad. The range of products includes organic and
inorganic pigments, intermediates and pesticides.
Challenge
• Though they have implemented SAP R/3, the world’s
leading Enterprise Resource Planning software, they had difficulties
in using the Master Production Scheduling Module of the same.
• The need was to have a separate application for the Master
Production Planning and updating system which will down load all
the sales Order data from SAP application and facilitate the plant
wise, Product family wise, day / week wise production planning,
considering the Project available balance quantity.
• This planning data in turn to be sent to the respective
plant for further process and also to be uploaded top SAP’S
MPS Module.

Project: Design of Plate type heat exchanger
Company: Alfa Laval
Introduction
Alfa Laval is a leading global provider of specialized products
and engineered solutions helping customers to heat, cool, separate
and transport products such as oil, water, chemicals, beverages,
foodstuffs, starch and pharmaceuticals. Their worldwide organization
works closely with customers in almost 100 countries.

major products. There are many models of Heat
Exchangers.
2. The design of each model varies depends on various parameters.
Each new requirement of a Heat
Exchanger would require Manual calculations of number of plates,
sizes etc.
3. Then drafting of new design on AutoCAD would again take lot of
time.
