For Immediate Release – October 2006
AEGIS FACTORY-WIDE NPI/MES SOFTWARE DEPLOYING AT MPI
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Aegis Industrial Software Corporation (Aegis), the
leader in Manufacturing Information Management Systems, has been
selected by Microboard Processing Incorporated (MPI) to install its
integrated NPI/MES product suite. After successfully employing Aegis’s
new product introduction and paperless documentation software for many
years, MPI will now implement the entire software system factory-wide.
The deployment will position MPI to deliver full traceability and
real-time production and quality visibility to their customers in the
particularly demanding medical markets they serve.
“We picked one major manufacturing enhancement this year which we felt
would be the single largest contributor towards giving our customers the
information that we all need to better manage business and obtain the
tracking functionality we required, and this was the project chosen –
hands down,” commented Mike Ellis, MPI President and COO. “In my mind,
the Aegis NPI/MES functionality ranks equal in magnitude and perhaps
higher in some aspects than a major ERP implementation in terms of
effectiveness to our operation. We are extremely pleased to have this in
full effect by the end of this calendar year.”
To meet stringent medical manufacturing requirements, MPI requires a
single system to manage all product, process, quality, test, machine and
shop-floor materials data. Through a factory-wide deployment, Aegis’s
NPI/MES Software provides the necessary traceability for surface mount
lots and also for materials through hand assembly, rework changes, test,
diagnostics, and out through system integration and box build. Other
added benefits of Aegis’s NPI/MES software include factory-wide WIP
visibility in real-time for efficient production analysis and job
tracking, connection-level defect collection, repair automation, and
quality analytics.
“MPI’s deployment of our entire solution is particularly gratifying
because they grew from utilizing NPI systems into this greater
solution,” said Jason Spera, Aegis CEO. “All product and process data
they had processed for years through our front-end systems is now
immediately usable in their new total MES system. It is a clear
demonstration of the power of a scalable, singular solution from one
vendor growing to meet the needs of a growing customer.”
