This industry success story shows how a metal fabricator reduces machine downtime, improves inventory turns by 50 percent, and exceeds the industry PMA index with integrated ERP, MES and shop floor features.
Key to these achievements is a single IT solution that replaced 10 disparate systems, applications and databases. The company tracks and integrates data from every aspect of operations, to effectively and efficiently manage financials, bills of material, purchasing, receiving, inventory, manufacturing, quality, planning and scheduling, shipping, EDI, engineering change tracking, subcontracting, document control, program management, human resources, supply-chain management, and more.
All of the manufacturer’s shop floor machines have programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that enable seamless, real-time communication and operations.
