Hoffmaster Clintonville Plant Goes Live with Crossroads MES & LX

On March 1, 2016, Hoffmaster’s Clintonville plant went live with Crossroads MES and LX. The goal of the project was to convert from another ERP to LX and replace a green screen MES system that required the manual recording of production and labor activity keyed from shop floor terminals.

The Clintonville plant is a leading manufacturer of disposable tabletop products.
