By replacing an older signaling system with BPS MANDON, a real-time material call system, Strömsholmen has created a more structured and measurable material flow. The result is shorter lead times, reduced empty runs, and improved resource utilization in production.
Strömsholmen AB is a global manufacturer of gas springs and gas-hydraulic systems for industrial applications. The portfolio includes solutions for press tools, robot arm balancing systems, and suspension systems for heavy off-road vehicles.
With a strong focus on innovation, performance, and safety, Strömsholmen delivers both standard products and customized solutions to industries such as industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, and defense.
Daily material supply was controlled by an older, button-based signaling system.
The operator requested material.
The signal was passed on.
The forklift driver then had to search for both the demand and the destination.
The consequences:
• Empty runs
• Time spent searching for information instead of creating value
• Longer lead times
Material supply became a bottleneck – not an enabler.
Strömsholmen implemented BPS MANDON – a user-friendly and configurable system for material requests and internal logistics.
The solution provides:
• A clear ordering interface for operators
• Real-time visibility of production status
• A dedicated prioritization view for forklift drivers
• Structured communication between roles
The result is faster onboarding, fewer misunderstandings, and a more controlled material flow.
After implementing MANDON:
• Reduced empty runs
• Shorter lead times
• More efficient material supply
• Improved communication
• Increased productivity
• Better working environment
• Greater transparency through access to real-time data and analytics
