MKG
High-end ERP
Metal companies perform
better with MKG
High-tech optimization
of your processes
Use MKG to its full potential and maximize the potential of a specialized ERP system.
Business rules
Who is allowed what? In what situations is an action mandatory? Monitor and automate your processes based on rules you can set yourself. With MKG you can easily translate the agreed tasks and responsibilities into ERP.
Smart Industry
ERP systems are interoperable if they can work together with other systems without restrictions. There are so many possibilities with no other ERP package. You can connect MKG with smart production resources and third-party software via the MKG API. This is how you create a smart digital factory.
IT strategy
Metal companies often generate large amounts of data. At MKG, we enthusiastically share our expertise with customers to develop a robust IT strategy. This strategy can contribute to the effective organization, management and analysis of this data, leading to valuable insights that improve decision-making, increase efficiency and strengthen the role in the chain.

The digital factory
In the digital factory, all information flows are internally digitally, seamlessly and securely connected: from office, design, production, logistics to maintenance and management.
Digitize
Thanks to collected data and computer controls, including artificial intelligence (AI), more and more processes are running automatically. A digital twin is available for all products, processes and equipment for design, visual (AR/VR) and process modeling, simulation, control, maintenance and management registration.
What makes a factory digital?
Departments and machines are digitally connected. Processes run automatically without human intervention. Consider the automatic processing of purchase invoices, purchase orders and order confirmations and automated calculation and programming. Data optimizes processes.
At the top of the MKG agenda
MKG underlines the importance of innovations in the digitalization process. We do this by developing new software functionalities and deploying them on professional dashboards for data analyses. We also enter into partnerships to create add-ons that help customers digitize.
NXTGEN innovation
In the NXTGEN High-tech projects Autonomous Factory and Smart Supply Network, we work with other parties on new applications and technologies, digitizing factories and the supply chain.
Strengthening the manufacturing industry
The urgency of new technological applications is high, new solutions are desperately needed. MKG therefore participates in the NXTGEN High-tech projects Autonomous Factory and Smart Supply Network, with the aim of strengthening the Dutch manufacturing industry. Both projects have a duration of seven years. During this period, concrete use cases are developed step by step through various work packages to ultimately accelerate innovation.
Autonomous Factory
The development and implementation of process optimization in a high-tech production environment; highly complex, in low volumes. Innovation is central to the NXTGEN High-tech Autonomous Factory project. To realize solutions, the entire process must become smart: Smart Manufacturing, Smart Working and Smart System Engineering. Robotization, new production and assembly technologies, flexible and digitalized processes and flexible logistics are indispensable elements. Operating support systems, education and training also play an important role.
Smart Supply Network
Deepening and scaling up the Smart Connected Supplier Network (SCSN) is the core of the NXTGEN High-tech Smart Supply Network project. Within this project, manufacturing companies are working on the digital exchange of information in the supply chain, allowing companies to share data more easily, quickly and reliably.
The Company Cloud for
companies under one roof
"Dutch metalworkers are confronted with staff shortages, increasing costs for digitalization and high investments in the machine park. The question is whether the large number of relatively small companies within the sector can bear these costs. Consolidation is therefore an obvious choice."
[ABN-AMRO, Sectoren en Trends, 2023]
Many metal companies operate together in a group. The management of the ERP environment is therefore becoming increasingly important. The Company Cloud is an environment for a group of companies that contains one database, but offers a completely individual process design for each company. This provides manageability and cost savings. MKG software updates, server monitoring, database backup & restore and OS updates and management are entirely taken care of by MKG.
Budgeting, monitoring
and optimizing
By budgeting your hours and costs, your operating costs for the coming year are covered by direct and indirect hours and you maintain a connection between the order result and the operating result.
Determining the cost price
Statement: "A correct cost price per hour for man and machine leads to insight into the order and operating result." However, experience shows that in practice the order and operating result almost never match. MKG helps you prevent this by increasing your insight into the financial situation of your company and enabling you to better determine your cost price.
Budget control
Using various dashboards you can monitor to what extent budgets correspond to the direct hours achieved, the man-machine ratio and coverage and to what extent costs are covered by the direct hours achieved. You will gain insight into wage costs, social security contributions, the net rate and the development of productivity and hourly returns.
Difference between order and operating result?
Are order and operating results not in line with you either? The MKG webinar Difference between order result and operating result, how do you prevent that? took place in September 2023. This webinar can be watched here. In half an hour you will be taken through the steps you need to take in MKG to create a realistic budget and an executable operating plan.
MKG
abroad
MKG is not only active in the Netherlands. MKG also works in Flanders and the German Ruhr area with carefully selected local specialists who provide sales, implementation and support.
These specialists are well acquainted with specific national customs, accounting differences and possible subsidies and know the important players in the metal sector. In addition, they are regularly trained to stay informed of the latest developments and extensions in the MKG software. This enables MKG to serve its customers in these foreign markets in an expert and personalized manner.
