AIDA supports the concept of horizontal integrations, enabling data exchange within the supply chain, among participants such as suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and transportation companies.
Enabling seamless data exchange simultaneously among numerous and diverse organizations does more than just connect systems: it creates an environment where every system, every software module, every machine, and even peripheral devices ‘speak’ the same language, are aligned with the same goal, and function as a unified entity rather than disparate units.
The concept of horizontal data exchange not only increases efficiency and reduces operational costs but also enables automatic adaptability of the chain, ensuring that some system element can adjust to changes within the system, regardless of whether the change request originated from a participant in the supply or distribution chain.
Key Features
EDI communication among participants
- Facilitates digital automatic data exchange for communication and coordination between different systems.
- This communication is crucial for ensuring a synchronized and efficient joint process. It improves process integration and operational coherence.
Operational synchronization
- Automatic operation directs individual operations towards a common production goal, enabling flow optimization and reducing operational inconsistencies. It supports a cohesive and harmonized production environment.
Data flow optimization
- AIDA conversion services enable data translation between formats and terminologies of individual participants.
- AIDA manages the efficient transfer and processing of operational data, which is crucial for maintaining process integrity, enabling data usability in systems of other parties within the supply chain.
