Syscon-PlantStar, a provider of manufacturing execution systems (MES) for plastics manufacturers, has partnered with DTR to create DTR QuickShot. This integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) and MES offering provides a web-based graphical user interface for a real-time picture of the shop floor, including production, cycle time, job schedules, material usage, and production efficiency.
Furthermore, all DTR QuickShot-collected information can be seamlessly integrated with the MRP and financial data within DTR Plastics ERP.
Even today, many plastics manufacturers are still dealing with islands of information, paper-based errors, and manual data entry, said Perry Williams, general manager of DTR. We’ve partnered with a leader in next-generation MES production monitoring solutions to provide our customers with a low-cost, but highly sophisticated 360-degree view of their manufacturing operations. This fully integrated, real-time view is an important step for plastics manufacturers who are looking to take their businesses to the next level.
Mr Williams added that the PlantStar solution has been popular within the DTR customer base, which includes more than 200 leading plastics processing enterprises.
Mr Williams also stated that DTR and Syscon-PlantStar are continuing to look for new ways to enhance their offering for both new and existing customers. These solutions fit well together and, more importantly, they fit the businesses of our plastics processing customers. As is our model, we’ll work directly with those shared customers to enhance the solution over time he said.
