Efficient IT coordination: the key to Remeha's new heat pump factory
Read on and discover how smart IT project coordination made the difference.
Setting up a heat pump factory by Remeha
When Remeha opened the largest heat pump factory in the Netherlands in 2023, the challenge was clear: establish a fully operational production facility within just five months. To meet this ambitious deadline, flawless IT coordination was essential. With Trelion as a partner, IT and production were seamlessly aligned. From tight project planning to smart network solutions, our experts ensured that all systems were ready at the right time.
Background
Remeha, a leading manufacturer of heating solutions, launched the largest heat pump factory in the Netherlands in Apeldoorn in 2023. The factory focuses on producing the Elga Ace hybrid heat pump, with an annual production capacity of 140,000 units. This facility plays a crucial role in accelerating the energy transition by increasing the availability of sustainable heating solutions.
Our challenge
Setting up a new production facility under a five-month deadline required precise coordination between all parties. Remeha needed a reliable IT project coordination partner to ensure that IT systems and facility construction were perfectly aligned and delivered on time to meet the strict schedule for bringing the assembly line into production.
Collaboration with Trelion
Trelion was brought in to manage IT project coordination, ensuring smooth collaboration between all stakeholders. Our expertise in orchestrating, aligning, and streamlining different parties was essential to the project's success.
Project Coordination
Preparation and planning:
- Trelion stepped in when the network lines had already been requested and was able to deliver a project plan shortly after initial discussions.
- Together with Remeha, a detailed project plan was developed, including timelines, milestones, and responsibilities.
Design and implementation:
- Trelion worked within the existing IT department standards and later advised adjustments to the network (see related case) to support the new factory.
- We collaborated to find integrated solutions for both the IT and OT environments, ensuring seamless alignment within the project timeline.
Results:
- Remeha’s new heat pump factory became fully operational, supported by an efficient and reliable IT infrastructure.
- The collaboration between Remeha and Trelion ensured a seamless integration of IT systems with production processes, leading to increased productivity and lower operational costs.
