For Immediate Release – February 2005
COMPUTROL USES AEGIS NPI AND MES SOFTWARE TO GAIN
COMPETITIVE MARKETING ADVANTAGE
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Aegis Industrial Software Corporation, the
leader in Manufacturing Information Management Systems announced that
Computrol, a rapidly expanding EMS based in Meridian, Idaho has selected
and deployed Aegis NPI and MES software systems as key tools to not only
update their overall electronics manufacturing processes, but as a
strategic marketing tool to differentiate the high level of service
Computrol offers OEM customers.
Computrol is using the Aegis Checkpoint system for bringing in data on
all new customer assemblies. Then they use CircuitCAM to program the
assemblies and creating online documentation. They are simultaneously
rolling in all data for existing and past assemblies for a complete
automated product-to-customer web-centric data archive.
Jon Hanson, Sales and Marketing Manager, Computrol said, "We use Aegis
to show our customers how efficiently we electronically process their
data, virtually eliminating human error. Aegis takes us from BOM and CAD
to machine programs and electronic documentation. It's a huge time and
money saver and we pass this faster time, higher accuracy and cost
savings on to our customers. We're a low volume, high complexity, high
mix EMS company. Aegis MES software allows us to track projects in real
time through the entire system. It allows us to make better use of
inventory and allows us to leverage materials so we can run a tight,
lean manufacturing program with no wasted time or efforts."
Eric Bowen, Manufacturing Engineer noted that the basis of the Aegis
system that he appreciates most is the ability to create programs for
all their different machines quickly and efficiently. Because CircuitCAM
can generate and output programs for all the machines on the production
line, regardless of the make or manufacturer, it allows Computrol the
flexibility to move programming from plant to plant and from machine to
machine within the factory very easily.
Bowen said, "When we were looking for a software provider, I called Fuji
to find out who they recommended. Fuji told us to contact Aegis for a
fully integrated system with a seamless connection to FUJI's Flexa
programming software. From there we called Aegis for a demonstration and
saw they had the most to offer when compared to other software solution
providers."
