OR YEHUDA, Israel &
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., June 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FactoryEye, a
division of Magic Software, has announced that Aplix, Inc. will
implement the FactoryEye Industry 4.0 solution into its two US
production facilities near Charlotte,
North Carolina. With world headquarters in
France, Aplix is a global leader
in developing and manufacturing innovative hook & loop
fastening systems used in personal care (diapers), automotive,
aircraft, packaging, healthcare and many other industries.
The Aplix team needed a system with machine learning that would
enable them to obtain real-time data from their production machines
to make informed decisions to improve productivity in their
manufacturing processes. They evaluated several software systems,
but the fact that FactoryEye is designed as a "plug and play"
solution specifically for mid-sized manufacturers helped them in
making their selection.
Pete Connelly, responsible for
Finance & Information Systems at Aplix, Inc, said, "The
FactoryEye solution will allow us to connect machine data through
our MES to FactoryEye's cutting-edge analytics system to provide a
whole range of information on critical issues such as machine
performance, machine downtime, raw material consumption,
traceability and product quality to help us identify target areas
for improvement. In addition to the product's overall capabilities,
we selected FactoryEye because their team seemed to have a very
strong grasp of our manufacturing processes and they were able to
show how we can achieve measurable performance gains using a series
of 90-day sprints."
In addition, FactoryEye has a certified connector to the JD
Edwards ERP system used by Aplix. This certified connector, one of
many offered by FactoryEye, will enable Aplix to capture data in
combination with other meaningful information to give them
actionable intelligence. This data is collected automatically and
put into KPI format for the shop floor operators who will be using
tablets. Within the first 90-day sprint, Aplix will have
access to OEE KPIs that will enable them to start making
incremental changes on the factory floor.
Terri Ghio, president of
FactoryEye North America said, "We are truly honored to be working
with a prestigious global manufacturer such as Aplix. Our
goal has been to gain a deep understanding of their business
processes and provide the platform for them to increase
productivity and continually improve their manufacturing
processes."
Nancy Finnegan, vice president of
sales, FactoryEye North America said, "Up until recently, the only
true Industry 4.0 solutions were tailor-made for the largest global
manufacturers. That has now changed. FactoryEye provides
mid-sized manufacturers with an attainable way to successfully
implement Industry 4.0. We showed Aplix how they can achieve a
significant return on investment by looking at machine
availability, energy consumption, cycle time, efficiency and
quality production. This same type of ROI analysis should resonate
with any mid-sized manufacturer!"
