For over 17 years, the company has worked alongside customers to leverage manufacturing data, driving measureable improvements in manufacturing speed, control, and visibility. The latest release of FactoryLogix that was displayed at this year’s SMT show incorporates an expanded logistics module that facilitates incoming quality control, warehouse and dispatch control, resource scheduling and planning, and material tracking for complete visibility of the state of the materials within the factory in real time.
The company also discussed our role in the worldwide race to achieve the benefits of Industry 4.0. While the concept of Industry 4.0 has gained much attention in recent years, the technical approaches to achieving it have been solely proprietary and limited in nature.
Now, with the establishment of the IPC’s Connected Factory Initiative, over 30 of the global leading manufacturers, machine, device, sensor, and software companies are working together to develop a machine data interface standard known as Connected Factory Exchange (CFX). Jason Spera, Chief Executive Officer of the company and Co-Chair of the IPC CFX committee says, “As the manufacturing industry turns its attention to unlocking the power of data through technologies related to Industry 4.0, Aegis is proud to support the IPC in developing a free and open data standard.“
