NEONEX and Fabasoft Approve Support KSB on the Way to the Digital Factory
8.11.2023 18:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
The management consultancy NEONEX and the software manufacturer Fabasoft Approve are supporting the world's leading pump and valve manufacturer KSB in its digital transformation. In order to serve customers optimally, the pilot plant in Pegnitz (Germany) is using various use cases for digitalization to drive the transformation into a smart factory. One result of the successful collaboration is the automation of documentation processes, which can save 7,700 working hours annually at the site.
KSB was faced with the task of identifying and prioritizing the most important business processes and starting their transformation, which they did with the support of NEONEX. Fabasoft Approve was commissioned with the digitalization of documentation management (digital control of supplier, quality and customer documentation) in the group.
Networking along the value chain
The challenge was to make the administrative processes, which internal as well as external participants along KSB's value chain handled with enormous manual effort, more transparent as well as more efficient and to partially automate them.
“Thanks to the consulting services provided by NEONEX and their expertise in designing the processes and data structures with a focus on efficiency and effectiveness, it was possible to mold the use cases into digital workflows in a short period of time. The resources saved as a result are now available at KSB for other value-adding activities,” explains Andreas Dangl, Managing Director of Fabasoft Approve GmbH.
Smart Factories around the world
Since KSB's goal from the very beginning was a globally digital and holistic transformation, NEONEX involved all stakeholders in the project right from the start through cross-plant coordination. This involvement is an important success factor for a successful international roll-out. “In addition, it helps a lot that the colleagues from Fabasoft Approve are very competent, solution-oriented, and pragmatic – always with the goal of implementing the best process for KSB. Fabasoft Approve is a very good and reliable partner for a successful and fast implementation of these use cases,” says Jochen Leppert, Senior Partner at NEONEX.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
