Technology Leader in the Strapping Industry: Mosca

Since its foundation over 50 years ago, the family-owned company Mosca, based in Waldbrunn, has established itself as a technology leader in the strapping industry. Its core business includes packaging systems and materials, strapping machines, straps, complex systems for securing transport and high-quality end-of-line packaging solutions, which are complemented by first-class services. With around 1,000 employees, a spirit of innovation and expertise, the product portfolio is constantly being developed and new standards are set in the industry. The applications must also keep up with this pace, as they have to execute high demands in day-to-day business in a secure and agile manner. Modern technologies such as AI and clever innovations point the way to the IT future. With this visionary claim, Mosca evaluated the existing system and, in successful, trusting cooperation with NTT DATA Business Solutions (hereinafter NTT DATA), set out on the path to the intelligent company.

Visionary Claim

The digital transformation, the possibilities of Industry 4.0 and IoT as well as the streamlining of business-relevant processes are giving companies the impulse to digitally align their processes in order to exploit business potential. Guided by entrepreneurial thinking, Mosca has pursued two goals in designing the new system landscape: To create a unified system that is ready for the challenges of the future as well as future global rollouts. With SAP S/4HANA in “complete expansion” (SD, FI, MM, EWM, CO, PLM, CS, VC, GTS), automated business processes from product development to foreign trade succeed – with a fresh start on a greenfield site. The new system is supplemented by OwnIPs and third-party solutions at the same time. For example, the new interface from SAP ECTR to Windchill realises better integration of design and production, which makes processes more efficient.
