Linde Engineering
Business, Engineering and Network Printing

Linde Engineering is part of the Linde group with the sectors gases, engineering and logistics. Almost 6000 employees are busy with planning and manufacturing of plants for process control. Within the scope of introducing SAP Product Lifecycle Management also components from Systems for controlled document distribution have been successfully implemented. This covers conversion processes and output services for engineering applications and SAP printing and common print infrastructure. A distribution planning cockpit starts and controls extensive distribution processes of project documents.

Now there is a new application report – here are the highlights

Engineering Printing

With print and distribution functions from SEAL Systems a controlled document provision was realised at Linde Engineering.

  • SAP PLM Integration
  • SAP Easy DMS Integration
  • Stamps and watermarks with pring and viewing
  • Complete output of documents for dissolved product structures
  • Automatic conversion of Office formats

Distribution plan cockpit

Tracable document distribution to customers, suppliers, subcontractors, service providers, public authorities and own departmens

  • Distribution packages with header data and document lists

  • Transparen user information

Business Printing

In the context of a host migration to IBM Websphere print functions were implemented by using the existing PLOSSYS netdome infrastructure.
