Supply chain managers in the electrical engineering sector need to strike the right balance between resilience, flexibility, compliance and cost efficiency. Deep tech company The Green Bridge has developed a cloud-based ecosystem that makes geo-information usable for business processes.

High variant diversity, rising raw material prices, volatile availability, globally distributed supplier structures and short innovation cycles place particular demands on the planning, transparency and control of the supply chain. Efficiency analyses of global supply chains usually fail due to heterogeneous system landscapes. This is where The Green Bridge comes in: This start-up's globally unique technology links ERP and PLM data directly with standardized, spatio-temporal identifiers. These are said to form the central lever for a resilient, efficient and future-proof supply chain. Thanks to the standardized reference space, the entire value chain up to the customer can be mapped in a scalable manner and controlled in a data-driven manner. Manufacturers of electrical engineering products thus gain transparency across their global networks, reduce risks, lower costs and increase their responsiveness.

Referencing Makes Networks Transparent

Whoever supplies components must provide data: Who supplied it, which batch does the part come from, when and in which line and with which test values was it processed, where was it installed? Then, for example, each power semiconductor can be clearly assigned to its origin, the production site, the assembly and finally the installed system. The clear referencing of all suppliers, production sites and logistics centers results in a completely transparent network. From procurement to use by the customer, this spatial chain is maintained throughout the entire life cycle.

Understanding Supply Chains Holistically

Whether at macro or micro level, nothing remains hidden from the universally analyzable data model. It reveals trends, regional concentrations, dependencies and single-source risks in the supply chain. Recall management for defective components is just as effective as product price adjustments when the procurement costs of individual components increase. This global transparency was previously unattainable, as different isolated solutions require complex interfaces. In a universal and standardized form, The Green Bridge's technology builds the urgently needed bridge to a holistic understanding of the supply chain, as the company states.
