Since the introduction of an automated C-parts management from Bossard in 2012, the company has been scheduling the C-parts via a single partner. Thus Pichler has been able to reduce costs for procurement, storage and supply and consequently create capacity for activities that add value. In addition it is guaranteed that the subsequent assembly of C-parts for the in-house production of ventilation equipment and air humidification units works reliably and on time. Thus the expertise remains in the hands of the supplier while Pichler can concentrate on core activities.
Savings of process costs
Customer and task
The Carinthian family business Pichler specializes in energy-saving ventilation systems for greater comfort indoors. In turn the company is achieving considerable savings in its process costs for the management of C-parts with the SmartBin integrated management system from Bossard.
One of Pichler’s development priorities is highly efficient ventilation systems for multi-story residential buildings. An integrated humidifier ensures an optimal room climate at the push of a button. Depending on the request, Pichler offers ventilation units for centralized or decentralized systems which are certified by the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt. Current references include the passive house residential park of Eurogate in Vienna with 150 apartments, the 3rd Olympic village (03) in Innsbruck, a 444-apartment passive house system and the new DC Tower in Vienna, Austria’s tallest structure.
