Digital foundation for future success
The manufacturing world is under growing pressure to innovate – demanding flexible processes, maximum transparency, and high production efficiency. The Slovak manufacturer SEZ DK has found a clear answer: by introducing the authentig production monitoring software from ENGEL, the company is taking a major step toward a smart factory. The goal: better overview of the machine park, data-driven decision-making, and a sustainable increase in production efficiency.

From tool to dashboard: True efficiency starts with the details - and reaches its full potential through integration with the production monitoring software.
Challenge: An evolving machine park in changing times
SEZ DK looks back on over 70 years of experience in manufacturing high-quality electrical installation products. Especially in long-established production environments, technological change often becomes a true test for machines, processes and people alike. With a machine park that includes some older equipment, growing competitive pressure, and increasing demands for production efficiency, SEZ DK faced a strategic challenge: modernize and digitalize its existing infrastructure without disrupting ongoing production.

Rethinking existing technology: SEZ DK integrates proven machines into its digitalized manufacturing process.
Solution: The authentig production monitoring software as a central hub for smart production
With MES authentig, ENGEL’s modern production monitoring software, SEZ DK successfully took the leap into digitalization. authentig seamlessly connects machines – including older generations – and provides real-time, actionable production data. Local support from ENGEL’s partner MASTEX and easy implementation via IoT device made the rollout straightforward and practical. Employees were specifically trained to leverage the full potential of the system.

The authentig WebMonitor displays live data on job status, part details, and cycle time – enabling fast decisions and full transparency.
Advantages: Greater transparency, less downtime, higher motivation
The benefits became evident shortly after implementation: production data is now available at all times, and downtime can be quickly identified and addressed using the software for machine data acquisition. The analysis tools within the production monitoring software enable more precise planning and strategic decision-making.
“We were able to identify and specifically eliminate bottlenecks – this significantly increased the efficiency of our machines", explains Stanislav Hutira, Plastics Plant Manager at SEZ DK.
Employees also benefit directly: they can better understand and actively influence their own performance, which has noticeably increased team motivation.
SEZ DK plans to continue expanding its use of authentig. Additional production lines will be integrated, and advanced analysis features implemented – with the goal of increasing OEE by another 10%. The company is clearly focused on not only producing more efficiently, but also preparing its manufacturing for the future demands of plastics processing.

Why invest in a modern production monitoring software?
How can a machine park that has evolved over decades be brought up to digital standards - without disrupting operations? SEZ DK has demonstrated it: With the right production monitoring software, legacy equipment can be networked, data can be used intelligently, and efficiency can be increased in a targeted manner.
Key takeaways at a glance:
Future-proofing existing equipment: The authentig MES seamlessly integrates even older machines into digital processes.
Real-time transparency: Production data is continuously captured, analyzed, and visualized – for better decision-making and faster response time.
Significantly improved production efficiency: Bottlenecks and downtime can be specifically identified and eliminated.
Stronger employee motivation through data access: Teams better understand their performance and actively contribute – boosting ownership and engagement.
Long-term scalability: authentig provides a solid foundation for further growth and ongoing process optimization.
High responsiveness to market demands: Thanks to data-driven control, SEZ DK can respond faster to demand fluctuations and new requirements.
Implementing a modern production monitoring software like authentig is more than just a technological upgrade – it is a strategic step toward the future.
Take advantage of the benefits of authentig. We’re happy to support you throughout the implementation process.
