Morrison Brothers, a major producer of petroleum marketing equipment in the United States and abroad, has chosen Crossroads MES for its shop floor control system. Included in the application are paperless manufacturing, and shop floor data collection. The system is expected to go live in the 4^th quarter of 2015.

Manufacturers across the country rely heavily on their MRP or ERP systems to automate the handling of resources. That's what the "R" stands for, after all. But it turns out that MRP and ERP systems leave a whole lot to be desired when it actually comes to managing resources--including raw materials and labor--on the shop floor.

Crossroads RMC has partnered with Xenitel Managed Service Solutions and CST Industries to create an online parts ordering site for CST’s dealers. The site is live as of June, 2015. This site was developed largely to simplify the ordering process for CST’s dealers, providing information on available inventory, flexible ordering, fast shipments, and improved dealer support.

CST is a global leader in the manufacture and construction of factory coated metal storage tanks, aluminum domes and specialty covers.
