System Integration
Industries eXcellence™
Industrial & Enterprise System Design & Integration Approach
Manufacturing is a complex industry and the number of systems that are utilized to streamline and control the manufacturing process grows exponentially as technology progresses. Manufacturers rely on these systems to bring their products to consumers efficiently and profitably. Everything from Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), which plan and control the production process, to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), which manages a product from concept to production, and to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), that unifies an enterprise globally.
These systems are not just nice to have; they are required in today's highly competitive market. In order to utilize them to their full potential, these systems need to communicate and operate in a unified way. In order to accomplish this, broad expertise from the top of the technology stack to the bottom is required.
Engineering Industries eXcellence™ is among the most successful and skilled system integrators in the manufacturing sector, and it is our detailed approach that has put us here. There are several steps that are required in order to ensure the success of any system integration project, which together complete a proven process our team of experts has utilized to help companies of all shapes and sizes and across many different industry sectors.
System Integration Activities
1. Research, Requirements Gathering & Analysis
Every project starts with the detailed task of analyzing the needs of our customer to determine what use cases are necessary to meet the stated objectives of the project. In order to obtain the desired outcome on a given project, our solution architects methodically step through every aspect of a customer's manufacturing process in order to understand where they are at and, more importantly, where they should be.
2. Technical Integrated System Design
Once a project’s requirements have been captured and refined, a technical design is made to implement those requirements. Our solution architects work with our technical leads and senior engineers to develop a detailed solution that is both cost-effective and technically capable of meeting the project goals. Manufacturing technology is complex and only a thorough technical design is sufficient to ensure a successful project.
3. Project Management
Even before the technical design is completed, our project managers work to ensure that the right resources are dedicated to the project. The project manager creates a detailed execution plan that outlines all of the needed technical resources and milestones for a project. Having the right technical expertise available is critical to the success of a project.
4. Project Delivery & Testing
Before handing the solution off to the customer, it must be fully tested to ensure that it meets all of the use cases and project requirements. The solution architect will work with the technical leads to create a detailed test plan that will be executed to ensure that all of the project’s objectives have been met.
