Digital transformation at BIPLAST d.o.o.

The investment was selected for co-financing under the public call Incentives for the Digital Transformation of SMEs (P4D 2025).

Investment description: The purpose of the operation is comprehensive digitalization, automation, and robotization of production and logistics processes at BIPLAST d.o.o. By introducing advanced MES and WMS systems and integrating them directly with the existing ERP system, the company is transitioning to real-time, paperless operations. A key part of the investment is the transition to Industry 4.0, which includes the implementation of robotic handling units, advanced sensor technology, and smart AI-powered cameras for 100% quality control and traceability.

The digital transformation enables automatic data transfer between systems, reduces manual work, increases business transparency, and supports faster decision-making. The operation also includes establishing an advanced online platform to improve the customer user experience, strengthening cybersecurity protection (firewall reinforcement, penetration testing), and enhancing employees’ digital competencies. The transition to smart manufacturing has a strong environmental impact, as it reduces scrap, optimizes material and energy consumption, and enables recycling of sprues, fully aligned with the principles of sustainable development and the green transition.

Planned results upon completion of the implementation project:

• comprehensive digital transformation of production and logistics,
• implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions (robots, sensors, AI quality control),
• connectivity and real-time data transfer (ERP, MES, WMS),
• enhanced employees’ digital competencies,
• a new digital business model and improved user experience,
• ensuring cybersecurity and protection of information systems,
• increased value added per employee and competitiveness,
• introduction of materially and energy-efficient production processes.
