“Visiprise Manufacturing allows us to maintain a single system that collects critical manufacturing data, streamlines our quality initiatives, and enhances our visibility into manufacturing operations,” says Will Bollinger, director of advanced electronics manufacturing at Harman/Becker.
But Harman/Becker, a division ofHarman International, didn’t just stumble into the right solution. It compiled a list of 88 key characteristics it wanted in an MES. It then referred toManufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association(MESA) reports for an independent assessment of which system best met those criteria.
“Visiprise has built a very strong relationship with Harman/Becker by working closely with them to understand their strategic objectives and to provide a solution that helps meet these objectives,” says Sean McCloskey, CEO, Visiprise. “The international adoption of Visiprise Manufacturing is a true testimonial to how, as partners, we can address manufacturing operations and ultimately drive a solid ROI for Harman/Becker.”
Visiprise and SAP have long been strategic partners, but last year the companies took steps to make that relationship even closer. In June, SAP said it would begin reselling the Visiprise Manufacturing product under the name “SAP Manufacturing Execution by Visiprise.”
This solution provides powerful route enforcement, traceability, and shop-floor execution capabilities. It integrates with the SAP ERP suite through the SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) composite application.
In January of this year, Visiprise and SAP announced an agreement that calls for Tata Consultancy to work with manufacturers to install and maintain SAP Manufacturing Execution by Visiprise.
The companies said their collaborative efforts will be part of a “perfect plant” initiative. This program is to be built around a Perfect Plant center of excellence—a virtual manufacturing scenario lab to be operated by a global “virtual team” from TCS and SAP. The center of excellence was conceived to help manufacturers achieve the perfect plant by combining global manufacturing coordination with local execution to improve end-to-end manufacturing operations and financial performance, according to SAP and TCS executives.
