UK EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL SUPPLIER ANNOUNCED FOR INFINITY QS

IES Industrial Controls Group, the Premier Control System and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) supplier are proud to announce their strategic partnership to become the supplier in the UK, European Union and other international markets for InfinityQS: the world leader in real-time Statistical Process Control (SPC) software.

Real-time SPC software takes guesswork and data error out of quality and process control. SPC is a scientific, industry standard, data-driven methodology for quality analysis and continuous improvement throughout the manufacturing process.

IES supply systems globally providing support for MES with automated applications for plant-wide schemes in the life sciences, food, energy, oil and minerals industries. The partnership draws on InfinityQS functionality within MES, integrating quality components on the shop floor to larger enterprise systems.

“InfinityQS partnership with IES strengthens our ability to help businesses deliver the high quality products consumers expect in increasingly competitive markets,” said Michael A. Lyle, CEO of InfinityQS. “The alliance falls in line with our strategic business objectives, expanding our broad portfolio of quality solutions for manufacturers.”

IES will use InfinityQS software to enhance its Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Track and Trace activities with SPC capabilities. Calculated from three independent metrics: availability, performance rate and quality rate, OEE is a growing focus for companies seeking greater efficiency and competitiveness. With OEE, Track and Trace and SPC, manufacturers have insight into variations in performance, allowing them to understand how process improvements are affecting production. By quantifying planned downtime, process speed, rework and yield, manufacturers can create efficiencies that lead to superior product quality and reduced production costs.

“We are excited to help our customers make quality improvements by refining their production processes with SPC,” said Doug Mullen, Director at IES. “Businesses implementing these systems are able to transition from a reactive approach to a proactive one, which is a key element in achieving Best-in-Class status. With our background we have the ability to offer a full turn-key SPC solution including consultative services and full integration with manufacturing and management processes”.
