European electronics manufacturer GPV has selected an IIoT MES solution from Aegis. GPV want to improve product traceability across their manufacturing, to meet increasing customer expectations.

Aegis FactoryLogix MES incorporates IPC Connected Factory Exchange (CFX), managing IIoT data acquisition across an industrial plant. In addition to BI, MES and ERP integration, CFX particularly addresses GPV’s need to improve manufacturing traceability capabilities.

GPV has 3700 employees across 13 sites worldwide.  The company is pursuing a digital manufacturing strategy to improve traceability, and aims for the creation of a single smart factory platform, which can gather and contextualise exact process and material traceability. 

Adopting an IIoT integration approach allows traceability requirements to be satisfied as an added value, rather than as a cost to the operation that disparate point solutions would have represented.

“Supporting our core business value of putting our customers’ insights and ideas into quality products, we needed a manufacturing software partner who displayed complementary professionalism, capability and knowledge,” stated Lars Ellegaard, director of Digitalisation at GPV, who continued, “During a time of rapid growth in our company, Aegis assisted in evolving expectations and requirements, meeting all critical needs across the enterprise as well as providing the depth of detail related to individual processes.”

GPV’s FactoryLogix adoption includes full MES, Digital Manufacturing Engineering, paperless assembly operator documentation, Lean material logistics management, intelligent production routing enforcement, local real-time dashboards and reporting, Business Intelligence (BI) analytics and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration.

Daniel Walls, European Managing Director, Aegis Software, said “The differentiation that Aegis FactoryLogix represents, fits perfectly with GPV’s advanced digital mission to satisfy progressive customer opportunities. With a clear alignment of goals across sites around the globe, the GPV team has demonstrated world-class digital manufacturing leadership, with which we are very pleased to be associated.”
