"And, all of the updates are driven by our customers as we constantly seek their input into our design process."

The Proficy Manufacturing software solutions take the information that is scattered throughout the organization, where interrelationships are difficult to understand and sometimes out of date, and provide a common way to navigate with timely and relevant insight and easy access enabled by the Industrial Internet.

"The challenges of manufacturers today - produce products faster, reduce WIP, maintain tight control on quality, streamline the supply chain, reduce warranty costs - are pervasive globally," concluded Busiek. "Our goal is to enable manufacturers to enable their operators to be more efficient, more productive and their businesses to be more profitable. Proficy addresses their business drivers - balancing production workloads, reduce rework, meet regulatory constraints, collaborate across an extended enterprise, and build right first time, among others."
