FTTX/BAU - The solution for fiber rollout at network level 3

parcs launches FTTX/BAU - the adaptable solution for fiber optic network expansion

With FTTX/BAU we now offer our first solution in the area of fiber optic expansion - developed from the cooperation with a well-known construction company for fiber optic networks. FTTX/BAU enables efficient project management and the administration of order data and linked network infrastructure data (main cables, joints, NVTs, VzK associations, NVT equipment, house connections). Documents and images can be stored directly with the network elements, even mobile on site. This facilitates the management of the project progress and all necessary documents such as measurement protocols, images and blow-in protocols.

Data management forms the basis for comprehensive project monitoring and overviews of the processing status of projects, the NVT assembly plan (with color coding of the tube ends), and the call orders of a blanket order. Roles & rights ensure that each employee only uses what he or she needs. And with the integrated import and export, you ensure that your client is always up to date as well.

FTTX/BAU is thus an all-round solution for network level 3 in fiber optic construction. Developed from practical experience and flexibly adaptable and expandable - as we have implemented this solution based on the low-code platform Ninox.

And what does the use of FTTX/BAU lead to? - "Our employees can view and document all process steps in the construction of fiber optic networks from anywhere. This means we have an overview of the status of our projects at all times and are optimally equipped to provide information to those involved. For us, this is a huge step forward in terms of digitization." - says Ludger Steffens, Managing Director of STN Sogetrel Telecom Networks GmbH, about the use of FTTX/BAU.

Success story: paperless spindle production at WMZ

parcs digitizes the assembly and maintenance of complex motor spindles based on low code

In the last 2 years we have successfully implemented numerous projects based on the low-code platform Ninox. One of these projects is a comprehensive individual solution for a leading special machine building company - Werkzeugmaschinenbau Ziegenhain GmbH (WMZ), a subsidiary of DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP.

The motor spindles from WMZ are the heart of the CNC machines of the group of companies. parcs has developed a comprehensive solution on behalf of and in close cooperation with WMZ, which supports the configuration and assembly of complex motor spindles. Also maintenance protocols in the context of findings can be recorded and processed. The application is now available to more than 20 assemblers on tablets to directly document and overview work steps and test results. The extensive calculation logic of the digital logging and analysis tool is based on 25 years of analog data in spindle construction.

Through the digital project for paperless spindle production, WMZ was able to significantly optimize both the production of its motor spindles, the processes in the area of maintenance and repair, its customer service and its CO₂ footprint with the help of parcs, and thus develop a clear argumentative advantage over the competition.

Dr. Udo Tüllmann, Managing Director of WMZ: "With our strong partner parcs, we have transformed our ambitious project into a robust, cloud-based IT solution in a very short time, which will sustainably increase our quality, efficiency and service. We will continue this approach for further product groups to support our customers in the best possible way."

Johannes Schmitz-Lenders, managing partner of parcs IT-Consulting, sees great potential for similar solutions in mechanical engineering and other manufacturing companies that require cost-effective individual solutions and adds: "The combination of WMZ's expertise as a spindle manufacturer and our experience in the field of complex software systems has produced a custom-fit and modern solution here. The use of the low-code platform Ninox has significantly reduced development risks and costs."

Webinar: The Citizen Developer - myth or reality?

On 7 June 2022, a webinar on low-code will take place in the GFFT Insights series.

What exactly is low-code? Low-code platforms, mostly cloud-based today, are rapidly gaining ground, promising savings and shorter, lower-risk development cycles for software development as well as lower operating costs.

But is this true in practice? How far will a "citizen developer" - i.e. an end user who develops software solutions himself - get in implementing low-code applications? Or do low-code platforms mostly increase the efficiency of expert software architects and developers? And what about the quality of low-code solutions?"How low-code is low-code in practice?
And does the "citizen ceveloper" really exist?" - this is the talk by our Managing Director Johannes Schmitz-Lenders.

Jonas Berger from our customer messtex will share his practical experience with a low-code solution. Patrick Philipp (Bytefabrik.AI) will report on how and why his start-up uses low-code platforms and whether the expectations placed in them are fulfilled. Dr. Sven Hinrichsen will present a research project on low-code programming.

New Partnership:
Kutzner Prozessoptimierung
and parcs

parcs IT-Consulting and Kutzner Prozessoptimierung are joining forces to advance digitalisation in logistics in the DACH region.

The logistics sector often needs customised software solutions due to a wide range of tasks. However, existing solutions are often not state-of-the-artor do not support business processes in the best possible manner. With low-code applications supported by parcs and Kutzner, logistics companies can now get up to speed – quickly and cost-efficiently. 

Together, parcs and Kutzner have over 45 years of cumulative experience and competence in the development of individual IT solutions - a sound basis for successfully implementing digitalisation. Kutzner has particular strengths in logistics by road, rail and water, and we at parcs have extensive experience in air freight. Thanks to our expertise in developing customised software with low-code platforms such as Ninox, parcs and Kutzner can now provide tailored solutions even faster than before. 

"These synergy effects will give our customers the necessary edge in their respective markets and allow them to better manage their processes," says Johannes Schmitz-Lenders, one of the founders and managing directors of parcs IT-Consulting. 

Christian Kutzner, owner of Kutzner Prozessoptimierung, is also looking forward to the cooperation: "We are sure that the low-code approach will convince many companies just as it has convinced us at Kutzner and parcs. The cost and time savings of low-code development are simply unbeatable.
