"WIKA develops and manufactures measuring equipment and solutions for measuring pressure and temperature at its own production sites around the world. Every year, it supplies more than 30 million high-quality products in over 100 countries. Against this background, we are looking to achieve a more homogeneous system environment and link in our PPS, ERP and price/product databases at the same time. Noxum's web-based transaction platform transports data to various systems and converts these data into the media-neutral XML format."
