Information Technology Integration As a leader in supplying process control and manufacturing automation systems, ACE is in a unique position to help our customers in the selection and implementation of Information Technology systems including Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Management Information Systems (MMIS). By working with our customers, we can determine the appropriate software tools and provide the necessary engineering to implement the correct Information Technology solution for your facility. By collecting the critical data during manufacturing, a complete picture of the entire process can be assembled for analysis and review. From this information a clear view of the manufacturing process and the flow of materials being worked can be determined and presented. Information Technology architectures will vary depending on the industry and manufacturing practices of our customers. Because of our experience in software and computer technologies, it is clear that one solution does not fit all applications. We can help select and implement the products that are designed to manage, control and track work in process, inventory, operator activity, operations and the manufacturing process for discrete and batch manufacturing facilities. The Information Technology selection & implementation process is coordinated closely with the operations and MIS departments of our customers. The Information Technology systems implemented by ACE have provided significant benefits to manufacturing control, production planning, manufacturing operations, quality control and logistics. Directors, managers, engineers and operators benefit from these systems by reducing costs, improving quality, reducing WIP or from general improvement in their work flow during daily operations. |
