Solarsoft drives continuous improvement at Johnson Controls
Johnson Controls uses Solarsoft’s manufacturing execution system, Mattec MES, to drive continuous improvement in production, process and quality monitoring capabilities. The Mattec MES software has evolved the process of setting control limits for fill times and cycle times on 44 injection molding machines. “We used to run 3-4% scrap. Last month we were down to 1.37%,” Dave Rose, Quality Engineer.
"We were the Flintstones. Now we're the Jetsons." That's the
metaphor Dave Rose, Quality Engineer at Johnson Controls, uses to
illustrate the difference Solarsoft's Mattec MES solution has made
in his plant's production, process and quality monitoring
capabilities.
Rose is talking specifically about how the process of setting
control limits for fill times and cycle times on his plant's 44
injection molding machines has evolved since the Mattec MES
implementation.
Looking deeper into scrap statistics, Rose says his company has
reduced its start-up scrap by 23% and running scrap by 27%. "That's
a testament to the people here, the concepts we have in place and
the way we use the tools at our disposal, and Mattec is the primary
tool."
