Digitalization on the construction site: when process reliability and efficiency go hand in hand
The industrial construction industry is undergoing radical change. Skilled labor shortages, rising quality requirements, and the desire for sustainable, transparent manufacturing processes are placing demands on manufacturers and suppliers alike. One company that is actively shaping this transformation is the software provider CSP. Its solutions include applications for quality assurance, traceability, process analysis, and digital worker guidance. CSP thus offers a wide range of services covering all phases of industrial manufacturing—from data recording and the control of individual process steps to strategic evaluation. These practical examples from industry demonstrate how versatile and effective these technologies can be—they illustrate what digitalization can actually achieve today when it is consistently focused on quality and efficiency.
Case 1: Zero-error processes in vibratory plate production
At an international construction equipment manufacturer, quality control was at the heart of production. Millions of tried-and-tested vibratory plates, a wide variety of models, and changing skilled workers presented the production department with the challenge of ensuring precision and efficiency in the long term. The solution was the introduction of PG – an intelligent worker guidance system that guides employees step by step through each assembly process. The system shows in real time which work step is to be performed next, checks that it is carried out correctly, and automatically documents all processes. This creates a structured, traceable production process that minimizes the possibility of errors and makes knowledge independent of the experience of individual employees. The result is impressive: error-free assembly processes, drastically reduced rework, and significantly faster training of new employees. “The benefits of our worker guidance system are particularly evident with complex devices—it guarantees consistent and traceable quality, regardless of the experience of the personnel,” explains Matthias Salzberger, Product Owner PG at CSP. For the construction equipment manufacturer, this is a decisive competitive advantage in times of skilled labor shortages.
Case 2: MAN Truck & Bus – Maintenance with vision
Commercial vehicle manufacturer MAN Truck & Bus is taking another step toward the smart factory. In the axle assembly department at its Munich site, over 30,000 screw connections are made every day – each one relevant to safety. However, the pneumatic tools and manual documentation used to date provided little insight into maintenance cycles, process quality, or the condition of the equipment. CSP provides the answer: With the IPM and QST solutions, MAN has digitally networked its axle assembly – for maximum process reliability, traceable quality, and maintenance with foresight. IPM helps to immediately detect and correct production deviations. With real-time alerts for faulty process steps or deviations from target values, the system ensures that assembly processes run smoothly and safely – and that errors do not occur in the first place. This guarantees consistently high product quality. QST supplements this approach with comprehensive tool and process checks. The system analyzes production and quality data, ensures process integrity, and thus supports efficient quality assurance throughout the entire manufacturing process. Seamless tracking and documentation of test results creates transparency and forms the basis for continuous improvement throughout the entire axle assembly process. The interaction of both solutions takes manufacturing quality at MAN Truck & Bus to a new level: processes become transparent, deviations are detected immediately, quality is assured – and production takes a big step closer to the vision of the smart factory.
Digitalization as a link between people, machines, and quality
Whether construction machinery or commercial vehicles—these two examples show that digital process control is no longer a topic for the future, but a reality. Those who master the balance between automation, quality assurance, and human-machine interaction gain decisive advantages in productivity and flexibility. For CSP, the focus is not on technology, but on practical benefits. PG, IPM, and QST are part of a whole range of integrated software solutions that CSP uses to support companies throughout the entire production process—from data acquisition and process validation to quality management and intelligent nalysis and archiving systems. This creates a continuous digital production flow that turns error-prone processes into reliable ones, reaction into foresight, and documentation into real added value. This approach is a prime example of how digitalization is permanently changing value chains in construction and mechanical engineering.
