Crossroads RMC partnered with Hunter Douglas Architectural Ceilings and Walls to upgrade their LN system from LN 10.2 to LN 10.6. This upgrade was undertaken primarily as a result of unsupported hardware/operating system versions at Hunter Douglas. Despite an extremely tight deadline, Crossroads and Hunter Douglas partnered to complete this upgrade from start to finish in under 4 months. Phase 2 is planned to kick off in late Q1 of 2020, which will focus on specific areas of the business for process improvement and the implementation of Avalara’s Avatax software.

Crossroads RMC is currently working with a customer in the food and beverage industry to develop 18 inbound and outbound customized BOD messages using the ION process to deliver data to/from LX 8.3.5.

All of the messages will be using the standard OAGIS (Open Applications Group Integration Specification) BOD Message. The OAGIS is a widely accepted standard within the industry which specifies a standard way of passing data in and out of applications using an XML format. 

Some of the BOD Messages that we will be processing are:

• Item Master
• Purchase Order
• Receipts
• Accounts Payable Invoices
• Vendor information
• Notifications messages

This project kicks off in February 2020 with milestone deliveries throughout the year.

There are certain key questions that must be answered to determine whether or not an MES system would benefit your organization: 

• How do you analyze OEE?
• Is there an opportunity to reduce WIP inventory, indirect labor, downtime, waste or scrap?
• What is the cost and impact of producing and distributing shop paper including drawings and work instructions?
• Would you like to go paperless on your shop floor?
• How are your continuous improvement initiatives tied to your ERP?
• Is Management requesting real time production status reporting via dashboards or drilldown reports?
• What different “islands of automation” exist on your shop floor?

The answers to each of these questions could have a significant impact on the profitability of your business. Want to quantify your results? Contact George Moroses today to schedule your FREE MES ROI Analysis.
