The Office of the Year competition – now in its fifth year – organised by the Prochazka & Partners consulting agency has revealed the winners for the most impressive office spaces of last year. Aimtec has won the prize for the best regional office, i.e. one located elsewhere than in Prague, placing the company side-by-side with such major-player winners as Fortuna, FTV Prima and Jägermeister. An expert jury made up of leading office-market experts selected the winners.

Jaroslav Follprecht and Roman Žák have won the regional round of the 2020 EY Entrepreneur of the Year competition for the Pilsen Region. The expert panel emphasised the perseverance, vision and hard-working nature of Aimtec’s founders and owners, who have managed to transform these traits into innovative digital solutions for their customers, domestically and abroad. The pair have also earned attention by successfully building up a company that succeeds while staying socially responsible.

Automation of internal logistics is hardly limited to the automotive industry and e-commerce, and Aimtec’s new project for DŘEVO TRUST, a Czech wholesaler of wood materials and products, is one proof of that. DŘEVO TRUST decided to use a fully automated warehousing solution for its new halls. In November of 2019, it launched live operation in Lipník nad Bečvou, and expansion to its branches in Hradec Králové and Pilsen is coming in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Due to the special technologies and communication protocols involved, Aimtec has developed its own virtual process simulator, significantly accelerating the project and easing the setup of its control system.

The imminent transition deadline for SAP S/4HANA, along with customers’ demands for more advanced automation and integrating new technologies, has led Aimtec to develop a new generation of its products based on SAP ERP. This range, Sappy4x4, is rooted in SAP’s tried-and-tested sectoral templates for automotive and manufacturing companies – but it also offers special add-ons for warehouse management, manufacturing management and quality control, enriched with new features for S4/HANA and integrating advanced technologies. Aimtec already has its first Sappy4x4 deployments under its belt.

In 2020 Fresenius Kabi, a global specialist in the manufacturing and distribution of medical products and technologies, launched a pilot project together with the consulting and technology firm Aimtec. Its goal is to digitalise the quality control process and enable detailed monitoring at the company’s plant in Hořátev, Czech Republic. Aimtec caught the company’s eye with its experience in automotive – and indeed GAMP 5 certification is one area with which they will be helping the medical giant.

The consulting and technology company Aimtec provides its solutions without a need for customers to meet up with suppliers. Through this step, it is enabling the deployment of new software solutions – and thus more efficient manufacturing and internal logistics – even in today’s difficult situation. Digitalisation and automation, Aimtec’s areas of focus, can significantly aid companies in restarting production and in similar situations such as the one currently arising in connection with the global pandemic.
