bot challenge.
VCST's Smart Factory Business line Automotive manager Tim Polleunis needed to replace, due to an ERP transformation project, a legacy VB-tool which produced quality control documents for his engineers.

bot solution.
A combination of Python and Electron allowed us to build a tailormade bot integrated with business applications like Windchill, SAP and Q-DAS.
