Why Has This Been So Difficult To SolveComplexity & Variability in Every Plant Floor

Too Many Separate Application Vendors/Niches

IT Projects Without Engineering or Manufacturing Input (and Vise Versa)

Hi-Level Implementation & Maintenance Skills Required

What’s Proven in 1 Plant Can’t Be Cost-Effectively Duplicated

Lack of Standards Makes Infrastructure Costs Prohibitive

Constantly Changing Demands from ‘The Users’
