SCHAEFER KALK: Innovation leader with a long tradition

Lime at its best. This sentence describes the consistently high quality standards that make SCHAEFER KALK a leading supplier of lime. With over 160 years of experience, the company stands for quality-oriented production of lime products and calcium carbonates. SCHAEFER KALK uses one of the purest limestone deposits in Europe to serve a wide range of industries - from construction and chemicals to food, pharmaceuticals and environmental protection. As a global supplier, the company plans and builds production plants with its own engineering office, thus securing its outstanding position in the market. Decarbonization is one of the major challenges for SCHAEFER KALK and forms a central part of the company's future planning. The aim is to develop and implement technical solutions for low-CO2 to CO2-free production.

Challenges before the implementation of AXAVIA

The company was faced with the task of bundling scattered plant engineering data and documents in a central application. In addition to existing CAD systems, it was essential to integrate existing plant structures and filing systems. The requirements also included the exchange of data between internal and external parties and the connection to the ERP system. These comprehensive requirements made AXAVIA the ideal partner, who was able to convince with flexible and tailor-made solutions.

Why AXAVIA?

SCHAEFER KALK was looking for a solution that would flexibly adapt to the company's requirements without impairing existing structures. AXAVIA was able to convince with its holistic approach.
