Electronics Manufacturing Services can automate time-consuming operational processes with Kewano and reduce purchasing costs by up to 10% – all in one platform.
Kewano automatically reads data from various sources such as emails, bills of materials, distributor websites, or interfaces using AI. This keeps the item master data always up to date and more structured through grouping by technical properties. Order preparation saves up to 5 hours per new order.
Integration with distributor interfaces such as DigiKey to pull data like technical specifications, availability, delivery times, and prices based on manufacturer part numbers.
Sorting of parts with identical technical properties as variants under the same internal part number.
Simply upload customer bills of materials: Based on the manufacturer part number, the line items are automatically assigned to current internal part numbers or automatically created as new items when necessary.
Dynamic rescheduling when changes occur and forwarding the information to sales or sometimes directly to the customer. This saves the production planner several hours of work every day and improves supplier ratings with customers through more accurate delivery dates.
Automatic master and detailed scheduling: Kewano generates a production plan based on supplier delivery dates, customer requested dates, employee availability, or machine capacities. This is optimized to meet delivery dates as best as possible and, when possible, to schedule orders with bill of materials overlaps consecutively on the placement machine to reduce setup time.
Scenario planner: Kewano automatically tests various scenarios in real-time when changes occur, pulls delivery times from alternative suppliers, requests overtime from employees, or searches for alternative machines. Once the scenario has been validated, it can be easily implemented with 1-click.
Production data collection: Actual time recording of production steps to refine target times, enabling better planning and direct accurate calculation and post-calculation of quotes.
Based on the bill of materials, Kewano automatically creates a quote in which tiered pricing has been automatically calculated.
Based on the bill of materials, material costs are calculated through the item master data that is automatically updated with prices, availability, and delivery times.
Production costs and overhead costs are also included.
Delivery dates are determined based on the current production schedule.
Automatic suggestions for orders, so employees only need to confirm. This can save up to 5 hours per order and up to 10% of purchasing costs.
Automatic quote comparison through automatically updated item master data.
Order execution directly from the ERP without having to visit a website.
After ordering, AI automatically reads order confirmations in any format and displays deviations such as delivery date changes, as well as updates them in the ERP.
Incoming orders usually receive a delivery note from the supplier in paper form. This can be scanned and then read with Kewano.
In case of a deviation from the confirmed order, the supplier is automatically asked about the current delivery date for the missing parts.
Purchasing is also informed and receives an alternative supplier suggestion that would allow the part to arrive on time before production start.
When no solution is possible, Kewano suggests a production schedule shift and informs sales.
Through direct integration with accounting solutions such as sevDesk or Lexware, all important data is automatically transferred to these systems. Important documents are stored in compliance with GoBD, e-invoices are created, or information is passed on to the tax advisor.
