Product overview
An investment- and future-proof industry software solution
Based on the standard ERP software Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management COSMO CONSULT has developed the industry software solution COSMO printing and packaging developed. It supports all common printing technologies for the production of folding cartons, labels, flexible packaging, corrugated packaging, displays and web printing. Product finishing processes such as laminating, embossing, foiling and others are just as much a part of this ERP industry solution as the process stages of (roll) cutting, die-cutting, gluing, packaging and finishing.
The solution enables you to fulfil customer requirements more creatively, quickly and reliably in a dynamic market with many competitors. The basis for this is more efficient planning and implementation of industry-specific production processes and the establishment of global IT standards.
COSMO printing and packaging minimises your costs and risks, supports you with optimised resource management and increases your customer satisfaction.

Resource planning
The planning control centre, which is fully integrated into the industry solution, provides your production planning with a comprehensive tool for optimising the planning sequence. Regardless of whether the medium-term utilisation of all bottleneck resources needs to be guaranteed or a rush order needs to be scheduled at short notice, the control station offers the appropriate functionalities. Functional highlights:
- Planning phases with different planning horizons
- Multi-resource mode (MRM)
- Simulation of alternative scenarios
- GANTT representation
Production data acquisition
Released orders are displayed with all production-relevant information on the production data acquisition (PDA) terminal for each machine and recorded on it. The work-in-progress functionality (WIP) maps all production steps within a production order. By confirming good quantities between the individual production stages, semi-finished goods are automatically managed in the ERP in terms of stock and value. This enables clear and date-related analyses. Functional highlights:
- Recording of set-up and machining processes
- Quantity and scrap feedback
- Fault detection with times and reasons for faults
- Material and tool assembly
