Starplex Scientific Continuously Improves Efficiency with Solarsoft MES

A manufacturer of plastic containers for the medical, health care and food and beverage industries, Starplex Scientific operates a 135,000-square-foot facility for warehousing, assembly and molding in Etobicoke, Ontario, and a 68,000-square-foot facility in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Fifteen years ago Starplex Scientific decided to move away from manual data entry and record keeping on the shop floor. They wanted to enhance their machine, scrap and production monitoring. They chose to take that step forward with Solarsoft's Mattec MES manufacturing executing and production monitoring system.

With Solarsoft, Starplex Scientific has benefitted from:

• Instant access to real-time production information
• Reduction of scrap
• Improved machine maintenance
• Improved cycle efficiency

"One mouse click shows us, on a machine-by-machine basis, the current status of our shop floor, what has to be done, where we can improve, and our future requirements. The Mattec MES doesn't sleep. It captures everything we need 24/7," says Gary Deans, Director of Operations, Starplex Scientific, Etobicoke
