Press Release Body = Shoplogix Inc., a leading developer of intelligent manufacturing plant productivity software announced that Eclipse Imaging of Burlington, Ontario implemented Plantnode to provide intelligent data capture in their print production facility. Shoplogix was represented in this deal by York Graphic Communications (YGC), a full-service print production company. The President of YGC, Garth McLean, is a print industry veteran with more than 20 years in the business.
Eclipse implemented Plantnode units in two manufacturing areas to help them improve their production targets. Plantnode provides real-time information on equipment productivity, helping operators and managers evaluate efficiency, and take steps to meet production goals. According to Wayne Moir, President of Eclipse, "We particularly liked the fact that Plantnode can capture data from all of our presses, even though some of them are older and don't provide computerized interfaces. Plantnode makes it easy to integrate data capture across the facility."
According to Kevin Dwyer, President and CEO of Shoplogix, "The use of Plantnode by Eclipse validates that our solution clearly delivers real and immediate value within their manufacturing operation. Also, because this was a joint effort between YGC and Shoplogix, our Plantnode solution is afforded a strong independent endorsement from YGC, a printing industry expert with extensive domain expertise."
