Eolane Deploys Tecnomatix Manufacturing Process Management Solutions Across All Production Units Throughout France
Tecnomatix Technologies Ltd. announced that Eolane, a major electronics contract manufacturer with sites throughout France and in Morocco, has finalized an agreement-through a Tecnomatix Sales Channel partner, Accelonix France-to deploy eMPower for Electronics solutions across all of Eolane's manufacturing sites in France. The full scope of these deployments, which began in 2003 and were completed earlier this year, includes eMPower products and services valued at a total of US$190,000.
Eolane is implementing several key products from the eMPower PCB Assembly & Test suite, including eM-Test Expert, eM-Assembly Expert, eM-Document Expert and eM-View Expert. These products will help Eolane accelerate new product introduction, providing an environment compatible with its principal OEM partners, and facilitating the replacement of many cumbersome manual systems and costly in-house software solutions.
"In the eight years that we have worked with Tecnomatix, their software products have consistently proven themselves," said Thierry Sachot, group production director for Eolane. "We are confident in our decision to deploy eMPower solutions throughout our group. MPM's growing acceptance as an industry standard, and the reliability of the eMPower solutions we've installed to-date, made it very easy for us to select Tecnomatix."
"For electronics manufacturers in Europe, compliance with new European Union environmental restrictions is an important initiative," said Israel Levy, CEO of Tecnomatix Unicam, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tecnomatix Technologies. "Along with providing a more effective and collaborative manufacturing environment, helping manufacturers manage their supply chain, cut operating costs and realize faster time-to-market, Tecnomatix eMPower solutions can play a critical part in redesigning manufacturing processes and infrastructures to help facilitate compliance. As Eolane continues to standardize practices across its sites, MPM is the perfect strategy for more closely aligning design and assembly processes."
Eolane belongs to the S.A.S. Financiere de l'Ombree, and is an established leader on the French subcontracting market for electronic products. With 2003 revenues over US$130M and almost 1000 employees, Eolane maintains five offices in France and one in Morocco. Eolane capitalizes on team synergies and know-how to offer complete industrial solutions, including design, development, pilot construction, sourcing of components, production of electronic cards, integration, tests, trial runs, logistics with customers and after market services. Eolane clients are major players in aeronautics, radio communications, consumer products, health, and diversified industries, who rely on cutting edge electronics technology for their products.
