OTOTRİM AUTOMOTIVE

Automotive

For roughly 43 years, across two locations with 12,000 m² of indoor facilities, Ototrim has manufactured sliding and hopper-type window frames for all kinds of passenger land and sea vehicles, painted or stainless grab rails, emergency exit hatches and aluminum trim parts used in many applications. It also complies with quality standards such as IATF 16949 and ISO 14001.

We use the argemas system for MES and MRP

Noting that they have operated in the automotive supplier industry for 42 years, Ototrim General Manager Nail Turan said: "We have been using the argemas system as our MES and ERP program for about 18 years. We are extremely satisfied with the argemas system, which is active in all our departments."

It brought us very serious convenience

Stating that they previously kept all processes on paper and in Excel, Turan said: "We now keep these in the system and, most importantly, archive them. It's also very fast for live and retrospective traceability. Pulling this information, checking it and revising it has made things much easier for us."

We gave every company its own code

Explaining that with the argemas system they assigned each company a separate code, Turan said: "So their quality processes, production processes and retrospective traceability processes saved us a great deal of time. And when we track all of these with barcode movements too, we can tell customers and ourselves much faster which product is at which stage, when it entered, when it left or when it will leave."

We can get technical support 24/7

Underlining that the most important issue with any purchased system is technical support and sustainability, Turan said: "The biggest reason we have been working together this long is the technical support we get from argemas. Without exaggeration, we can reach them 24/7. Any special request of ours is fulfilled immediately and quickly. The biggest reason for our satisfaction with argemas is that this technical support is so fast and effective."

Solutions that fit the way we work

Stating that Arge Bilisim offers solutions that fit their operation, Ototrim IT Manager Şenol Atalay said: "Rather than selling us a commercial product, Arge Bilisim focused on delivering flexible modules and solutions suited to how we work. Since we started using the system, we have been able to track our production, products and consumables in real time, starting from our purchase orders and covering all production operations."

Thank you for the support

Emphasizing that the software requests they made were fulfilled by the Arge Bilisim team, Atalay continued: "The effort and special care they put in to make the argemas software fit our requests and needs, and their support afterwards, were extremely attentive. I thank them for their work."

ALDERS

Textile

Alders produces for global ready-made garment brands at three different locations within its own organization. With a total of 800 employees and, together with its subcontracted production, a monthly output of 800 thousand units, it is one of the leading manufacturers in Türkiye's womenswear industry.

35% productivity increase

Underlining that productivity rose by close to 35% after they started using the argemas system, Alders Tekstil, Albrander General Coordinator Melih Ayan said: "We have been using the argemas system for 3 years. This system lets us track every process in production, in terms of both productivity and quality. And it's a system that lets us act instantly. We can spot where a problem is at that very moment, not in the evening or at the end of the week, and develop solutions for it."

We can't run companies with traditional methods

Drawing attention to rising competition and costs, Ayan said: "It is no longer possible to manage companies with traditional methods. You need a very good data pool. This forced us to be more careful and to build a more efficient production management system."

As the business earns, employees earn too

Stating that thanks to the argemas system they measure everyone fairly, Ayan said: "As a result, it became a system through which we can share with our employees as our business earns."

argemas is a company that shows the way

Saying he recommends the argemas system to everyone, Ayan added: "Arge Bilisim is not just a company that sells a system; it is also a consultancy that shows the way. By providing every kind of support, it made our decision-making process very easy."

APS TEKSTİL

Textile

With more than 50 years of experience producing for major European brands, APS Tekstil is one of the important companies in Türkiye's textile exports. Headquartered in Istanbul, APS Tekstil employs roughly 900 people. Its production factory in Merzifon has a monthly capacity of 600,000 units.

Fixing disruptions is easier

Stating that with the installation of the argemas system they can see all critical production-management data live, APS General Manager Kutlu Çeceli said: "Thanks to this, tracking and correcting disruptions in production in real time became much easier."

A speedometer

Noting that operators track their own performance live and that this benefits the operators themselves, Çeceli said: "The system is truly like a car's speedometer, operators can see in real time that they speed up as they press the pedal and slow down when they ease off. Thanks to the screens on the production floor, all line data is visible. These screens also speak to the employees' mental side."

It pushes management too

Stating that the argemas system also puts pressure on factory management, Çeceli continued: "That is: when an operator suffers a performance drop for reasons beyond their control, they report it to management through the devices in front of them. Management then deals with the issue immediately and resolves it."

Every manufacturing business should definitely install argemas

Underlining that he recommends the argemas system to every garment manufacturer, Çeceli said: "I believe it is a system that absolutely must be installed."

ERAK GİYİM

Textile

Mavi's largest manufacturer, Erak Giyim also continues to produce for many major international brands at its Çerkezköy factory in Türkiye and its factory in Egypt. Producing roughly 7 million units per year including subcontracted work, Erak Giyim is one of Türkiye's long-established denim manufacturers, 37 years old and employing 1,200 people.

With argemas we had already begun digitalization

Erak Giyim IT Systems Manager Nuri Sokullu said, "When we set out with argemas 8 years ago, it means we had already built Industry 4.0," expressing that they had started their digitalization journey 8 years earlier.

With argemas we can access data in real time

Stating that in their previous system they could not access data in real time, Sokullu said: "That cost us. A person working with low productivity lowered our daily quantity, quality and productivity for that day. This is where argemas added the most value for us. Because we can measure productivity in a short time, we can intervene quickly with our personnel and production stages. We can see the operation-based output in each department and evaluate accordingly."

Our customers choose us because of the argemas system

Noting that they have used the argemas system for 8 years in cutting, sewing, washing and packing, and have carried out many innovations with Arge Bilisim, including automation in the washing department, Sokullu said: "When the customers we work with visit our company and see the productivity measurements of our personnel, and the bonus evaluations given to personnel based on that productivity, it contributes positively to them choosing us."

We can see our costs

Underlining that the biggest contribution of the argemas system is that data is collected and evaluated on time, so measures are taken on time, Sokullu said: "In the following stages, the biggest factor was employee motivation. Another effect was at the quality stage. And at the end of the day, of course, cost, which keeps every company standing. It helped us see our costs and measure our operations."

GÖRKEM GİYİM

Textile

With 44 years of experience, it is among Türkiye's leading exporters in woven ready-made garments. Headquartered in Istanbul, the company has a monthly production capacity of 600,000 units together with its production factory in Sinop and its production partners.

Positive changes with argemas

Stating that they had prejudices when the bundle system proposed by Arge Bilisim was first installed, Görkem Giyim Manufacturing Manager Fatih Yurdadön said: "It's still only an 8-month project, but in this time there have been very good changes. We believe we will do even better with the argemas system."

The product flow changed

Saying he was working with a bundle system for the first time, Yurdadön said: "In the past our product moved along four paths and there were delays. Now the product enters from a single point and the line master focuses on a single point."

We can see the bottlenecks

Noting that they previously could not see employees' productivity in real time, Yurdadön said: "With the bundle system we can more easily see when an operator won't keep up. And we can make moves accordingly to keep the line balanced."

With argemas we can see lost time

Saying they can see time losses as data in the argemas system, Yurdadön said: "We can reduce these time losses to a minimum. By my calculations there is currently a 30-40% improvement."

Real-time tracking in production

Underlining that production management must be simple, clear and real-time, Görkem Giyim Sinop Factory General Director Engin Kaya explained their reasons for choosing argemas: "We were looking for a system that was real-time, technologically current, able to give us live data, and that would let us intervene in production on the spot. That's why we started working with argemas."

We gave every product an identity

Emphasizing that with the QR-code application argemas introduced, every product gained an identity, Kaya said: "When we open any box in our packing department and look at any job, we can fully report which lot this product came from, which cutter cut it, who labeled it, which sorting employee handled it, who performed which operation in production and on which day and at what time, and who did the quality control."

Automatic line setup

Describing the assignment-optimization module as a revolution, Kaya pointed to its importance in production: "We can now set up our lines automatically without any human intervention. For manufacturers, this is revolutionary work."

argemas is a living system

"What I especially love about argemas is that it is definitely not just a software program, it is a living productivity program. It is a software system whose team immediately adapts it to your company as soon as you raise an issue," said Kaya, adding: "No matter what, factories of this size absolutely must have a productivity system. On behalf of my company, I can comfortably say that companies should work with argemas."

I had prejudices against the argemas system

Stating that when the argemas system was installed he was prejudiced especially against the bundle (trolley) system, Sebur Candemir said: "I worried for nothing. Once we started working with the trolley system, there were many positive changes. I now spend more time on the line."

Lost time in line setups dropped sharply

Emphasizing that before the system, lost time was especially heavy during line setups, Candemir said: "After the argemas system our time losses dropped a lot. Sometimes we can turn out product back to back without losing any time at all."

I don't use operators for product matching

Explaining that in the bundle system all the parts that make up a product are placed in a set number of trolleys, Candemir said: "The 6-7 people we used for matching were freed up and I put them on machines."

I recommend argemas

Emphasizing that the question marks in his mind were completely resolved once the system began to be installed, Candemir said: "I definitely recommend the argemas system."

I recommend argemas to all manufacturers

Underlining that manufacturing companies must work fast, Temur said: "The argemas system, built with great effort combining technology and consultancy support, achieves this. For these reasons I recommend argemas to every manufacturing company."

We can intervene in problems instantly

Stating that he has worked on productivity, performance and work study for 18 years, Sezgin Temur said: "argemas's biggest contribution to us is providing real-time data. This let us see problems instantly and intervene."

No blind spots left in the factory

Noting that with the argemas system they receive accurate data from every point, Temur said: "There is no blind spot left in the factory where we don't collect data. This was very important for us, and we achieved it."

I recommend argemas

Saying that, as with every new application, he had been prejudiced against the argemas system too, Görkem Giyim Sinop Factory Manufacturing Manager Yusuf Yazgan said: "With my 37 years of textile experience, I recommend argemas to every manufacturing company."

The product flow changed

Stating that before argemas they progressed the product by setting it up in 4 or 5 places, which made it hard to track, Yazgan said: "But now, with the bundle system, trousers, dress, skirt, jacket, whatever the product, it enters from a single point and comes out at the end of the line. Our line master and quality controller can check it much more comfortably."

Time losses in model changeovers dropped

Noting that in the days without the argemas system they considered time lost in model changeovers normal, Yazgan said: "With the bundle system we have no time loss at all in model changeovers. With the system, when a model arrives we do the preparatory work and decide where to place people or machines."

argemas is a system that meets customer requirements

Stating that he works at Görkem Giyim as an NQC representing H&M, İsmet Tayak highlighted the system's importance: "argemas is a system that meets the requirements of H&M and similar customers. It takes factories far ahead in quality, quantity and performance. We experienced and saw it live here. It added a lot to us."

We can see problems instantly

Underlining that one of the best aspects of the argemas system is seeing instantly where the defects are on the line and who made them, Tayak said: "Let me make an interesting comparison. We can think of production like Istanbul traffic. With the argemas system we can immediately see where the jam is at that moment. In other words, we can see this data on the computer without going into production, and intervene instantly."

The QR-code application

Saying that with the QR-code application developed by argemas all the product's information is in the QR code, Tayak said: "When we encounter a defect during inspection, we scan the QR code and can see clearly who made this defect. It takes us far ahead in both quality and quantity. Getting real-time data relieved us greatly, and we can prevent defects."

GÜLBEBE TEKSTİL

Textile

Encompassing EMF Tekstil Konfeksiyon A.Ş., Gülbebe Tekstil is one of the important babywear companies, producing in Bursa with 150 employees. Under its "Baby Rose" brand, Gülbebe ships its products to many countries at home and abroad.

argemas is very positive for productivity improvement

Stating that from the very first day the argemas system had a visibly positive impact on their productivity and organization, Gürses said: "With new modules added to the system, continuous and useful improvements can be achieved."

A guide that generates new ideas

Touching on the experience of Arge Bilisim's technical team, software staff and consultants, Gürses said: "Thanks to this knowledge, they have built a successful organization that guides all companies and generates new ideas while implementing on the production floor."

Our cooperation will endure

Gürses said: "We cannot evaluate or improve what we cannot measure. This program establishes an easily applicable measurement mechanism in every area of production. So far we have benefited greatly from the system and experienced no hitches in practice. Our cooperation with Arge Bilisim's friendly team will endure."

GÜLCE TEKSTİL

Textile

Producing in the textile field in Istanbul's Arnavutköy district, Gülce Tekstil manufactures men's and women's trousers for top-tier brands such as Massimo Dutti, Burberry and Ripley. Producing 40-50 thousand units per month, the company also exports.

A 30% increase in productivity and quality

"After we started using argemas, I say this very clearly, visible, distinguishable differences appeared. In both quality and productivity there was at least a 30% increase. I witnessed it with my own eyes," said Gülce Tekstil General Manager Cemal Aysel, one of the best examples among mid-sized garment manufacturers using the system.

With argemas we can make fast, easy decisions

Stating that the argemas system enables them to make fast and easy decisions, Aysel said: "The traditional system and the new system are not in the same league. I don't know how to explain it, but we're not talking about the same thing."

With the argemas system we pay our employees bonuses

Explaining that they reward employees above a certain productivity and quality level with bonuses, Aysel said this was an important factor in increasing productivity and quality.

We can give our customers accurate deadlines

Saying they give customers clear answers on deadlines, Aysel said: "You don't say 'maybe', 'but', 'however', 'well, you see'. You speak plainly. By this hour the job is at 1,500 units, 1,300 units, 1,200 units. And you can say this many more can come out by the evening. The forecast here is not a guess, it rests on data."

I recommend argemas

Stating that argemas added a great deal to their vision, Aysel said: "I've used argemas for 3 years, and I recommend it too. If we want this industry to be viable and sustainable, we absolutely must be different. We must do things differently. We must change something, free ourselves from yesterday's thinking. I recommend this to my fellow business owners doing this work in this industry."

UĞUR TEKSTİL

Textile

One of the largest exporters of the Mediterranean region, Uğur Tekstil has an annual production capacity of 7 million. Producing mainly women's woven tops and bottoms, Uğur Tekstil's largest customer is Inditex. With production sites in the Adana-Mersin free zone and a 20,000 m² factory in Urfa, Uğur Tekstil employs 440 people.

We looked for a strong technological infrastructure

A professional manager in the textile industry for 32 years, Akın Şimşek explained their reasons for choosing argemas: "First, we looked for a company with a strong technological infrastructure. Second, the production philosophy. argemas is a production management system I have followed for years. It is not just software, behind it is important know-how that continuously updates its production-management philosophy and transfers it into the software. We wanted to transfer that know-how too."

argemas is engineering software

Stating that Türkiye has pioneering companies and managers in the textile industry, Şimşek underlined another point: they want to manage their factories through engineers. "argemas is engineering software. And thanks to argemas we are giving our engineers a very important tool," he said.

Automatic line setup

Emphasizing that assignment optimization, argemas's automatic line-setup module, excited them, Şimşek said: "It's a piece of work connected to artificial intelligence. Bringing us a new concept we hadn't really considered before is very important for us. It was a module we specified at the very start of the project. I think it's a module every business interested in argemas should also get."

We recommend argemas

Asked whether he would recommend argemas, the experienced manager Şimşek expressed his thoughts: "Of course we do, we've been recommending it for 30 years. And we will keep recommending it."

ÜNLÜ TEKSTİL

Textile

With a total of 1,300 employees at two locations in Istanbul, Ünlü Tekstil produces for H&M's brands 'COS', '& Other Stories' and 'Arket', as well as 'Lacoste', 'Tommy Hilfiger', 'Hallhuber', Ivy&Oak, and major European customers from the UK such as Boden, Reiss and The White Company, making it one of Türkiye's leading womenswear companies.

A stroke of luck for our industry

Ünlü Tekstil General Manager Oğuz Açıkgöz, who has used argemas as their production management system for 10 years, said: "Actually, from the very first time I spoke with argemas, I always said this: this is what was needed. You know how you wait for something, wish it would happen, I said, at last it's here. Frankly, I think it is also a stroke of luck for our industry. So beyond merely recommending argemas, I think it absolutely should be used."

argemas provides traceability

Açıkgöz continued: "With the argemas system developed by Arge Bilisim, we can track all production data, productivity, quality, lost time, in the system. By moving products in bundles instead of one-by-one flow, we also achieve product traceability."

Assignment optimization is a revolution

Describing argemas's assignment-optimization module as a "revolution", Oğuz Açıkgöz said: "Thanks to this optimization, the moment we enter a model's criteria into the system, it gives us the best answer as to which line this model can be made on, and with whom."

Managing a business without data is impossible

Emphasizing that managing businesses without data is impossible, Açıkgöz said: "We have grown so used to the system, to argemas, that, believe me, it is genuinely hard even to imagine being without it. But the first thing I'd say is we would be like fish out of water."

We have used Industry 4.0 in our company for 11 years

Noting that Industry 4.0 is a new concept, Çalışır said: "I can say very comfortably that with argemas, from the very beginning, for 11 years, we were already practicing Industry 4.0, collecting the data inside and evaluating it."

Management with data

Emphasizing that managing with data is critical today, Çalışır said: "And as this data is collected, it must likewise be collected by a reliable system. We get a wide variety of reliable reports from argemas. We have also gained a great deal in identifying points of inefficiency."

Assignment optimization

Emphasizing that the most important thing in textile is giving the right operation to the right person, Çalışır said: "With assignment optimization I can say very comfortably: in the future of textile, data will definitely drive assigning the right operation to the right person. The companies that evaluate this data correctly will be the ones that win. And I believe argemas provides this very well."

I recommend argemas

Stating that he recommends argemas to all businesses, Çalışır concluded: "Today, unfortunately, it is no longer possible to produce without data, neither on the production floor nor across all other areas of the business. So I offer my thanks to argemas, which provides us this data in the most accurate way."

The argemas system makes managers' jobs easier

Stating that he has been in the textile industry for 33 years, Ünlü Tekstil Arnavutköy Manufacturing Manager Hasan Gür emphasized the system's importance: "I have worked with the argemas system for many years. It's a system that especially eases the job of managers. I've seen many of its benefits. I can recommend it to everyone."

The basket (bundle) system

Underlining that with the basket system everything about manufacturing can be tracked, Gür said: "You can track productivity, quantity and quality much more comfortably. In the traditional system you have almost no chance of seeing these. You can't see the bottleneck. In the basket system you can easily see it from the basket, from the device in front of the machinist and from the reports."

Managing bottlenecks is easy with the bundle system

Saying that in textile every operation's duration differs, which makes line balancing hard, Gür said: "The most important feature of the basket system is that it lets us see the bottlenecks and solve them."

We can catch defects early

Stating that with the basket system they catch a defect before it reaches the end of the line, Gür said: "In process (in-line) quality control we check 7 units per basket. A basket holds 20. At most 20 can be defective. In the traditional system, 200 defective products can travel all the way to the end of the line. With the basket system, the most important feature of the argemas system is that you see the defect early, intervene early and prevent it from reaching the end of the line."

The bonus system

Underlining that the bonus system is the sine qua non of the system, Gür said: "A bonus motivates people and means extra income for employees. I have worked in this system for many years, as line chief, floor manager and now manufacturing manager. At every one of these stages I saw how important the effect of the bonus system is."
