Peerless Instrument, a division of Curtiss Wright, has selected Crossroads RMC for Baan data collection. Peerless is interested in furthering the data collection partnership that Curtiss Wright began with Crossroads RMC 20 years ago. The data collection implementation will include Receiving, Material Issue, Inspection and Report Operations Complete, and is expected to be completed in July of 2016. 

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.

Hoffmaster achieved their goal by completing a successful data conversion and detailed prototyping of LX and Crossroads. The project team remarked that the Crossroads MES implementation was by far the easiest part of the project. One of the critical requirements of the chosen MES solution was to verify UPC and UCC label formats that called for in-line labeling of product packages and cases. Crossroads MES satisfied that requirement, and also provided an interface to finished goods inventory via the scanning of LPN numbers when reporting production.

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

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.

Huf North America, a global leader in the production of mechanical and electronic key systems, lock sets, steering locks, and remote control systems for the automotive industry, has gone live with phase 2 of their Crossroads RMC data collection implementation. This go-live included Report Orders Complete, Labor Reporting, Material Issue, Inventory Transfers, barcode label modifications, as well as custom applications for their Paint / Polishing operations. This go-live was paired with the expansion of Huf’s Plastic Injection Molding and Paint Facility in Greeneville, TN. The next phase of this project will include the extension of the Crossroads RMC solution into Huf’s facility in Mexico.
