Manage Information - Control Permissions
Making structured information available to all areas, HELiOS is the knowledge base for your entire company. While the clear representation of all available data enables corporate and project management to recognise and deal with problematic situations quickly and effectively, design engineering, production, quality control and sales departments can always access all current information. Customers also benefit as all relevant data is readily available to the Service department. Workflow functionality controls the stream of information enabling complex processes to be easily implemented. Workflow also grants User Permissions and automatically completes hold-file/task lists for personnel. As the entire product life cycle is documented it is easy to trace the person responsible for an action and to see when it took place.
Standardisation: The Key to Economic Production
Normally new markets lead to new customer demands that are in turn fulfilled by new product variants. This is however not always absolutely necessary, but to pick a logical alternative from the multitude of existing products is usually too labour-intensive and time-consuming.

With the Classification and Coding System, HELiOS offers an effective tool for standardisation and building-block creation. This results in a marked increase in the number of components that can be re-used and a decrease in administrative work and thereby costs.
Cross Borders - Connect Locations
A global marketplace calls for a global presence. HELiOS links diverse manufacturing and sales locations with central administration. Sophisticated communication procedures allow additional company sites to be easily integrated in the process cycle. Data exchange is restricted to relevant information and even in the event of interruptions ensures the consistency of data. Multi-language data storage enables personnel to call information in their mother tongue. As company know-how is the foundation for long-term stability we guard it from unauthorised access in an “electronic safe”.
Recognise Problems - Supply Solutions
In spite of intensive preparation, problems cannot always be avoided. Sometimes they are not recognised until it is too late to correct them – they can only be „disguised“. An effective chain of communication is the only way to solve this problem. HELiOS offers the tools necessary for red-lining and mark-ups to make sure those suggestions for improvement arrive safely at the correct “address”.
