Aegis Industrial Software Corp. (Horsham, PA), a provider of manufacturing productivity software, has announced that the Key Electronics (New Albany, IN) has purchased the entire scope of Aegis software to support all factory information management from new product introduction (NPI) through manufacturing execution, quality, traceability and line monitoring. The electronic manufacturing services (EMS) provider has selected Aegis software to deliver efficient management of data from the factory office to the factory floor and from end-to-end of the product lifecycle.

Tom Hardy, Key Electronics president, said, "Our decision to partner with Aegis is the result of a deliberate effort to increase efficiencies and productivity for our customers as we grow as well as maintain aggressive quality levels....and demonstrates our commitment to leading edge technology, improved processes and total commitment to be the choice for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the high mix/low volume marketplace."

Jason Spera, chief executive officer of Aegis, said, "Key Electronics and Aegis are both recipients of our industry's Service Excellence Awards, sponsored by Circuits Assembly. By standardizing factory-wide on the entire Aegis system, Key Electronics has invested to even further enhance their quality and the service they provide their customers. Both companies share a common vision; a single software platform spanning NPI to MES to the real-time machine data, and out to management and customer portals delivers real business advantage."

The deployment of Aegis software at Key Electronics provides a single source for all NPI engineering operations, including bill of materials (BOM) validation and program generation cross-line, and a single-database solution for MES and factory execution analysis. Quality data collection, automated repair and product tracking is automated through interactive and visual Web interfaces throughout the factory floor. The system joins this information to real-time data streaming from machines across the entire line—not just surface-mount placement—for real process visibility and traceability.
