MPS Expanded Aton Use
The Dutch company MPS is the world market leader in the development, production and installation of high-tech slaughtering systems. MPS also designs and installs systems for the portioning, deboning and logistic processing of meat products, as well as effluent treatment systems.
MPS Red Meat Slaughtering - A product group of MPS - has been using Modultek's PDM solution since the introduction of Solidworks in 1999. Now the company has upgraded the existing system into the newest Aton4 release.
Beside MPS Red Meat Slaughtering, also the product groups MPS Meatlogistics and Aqua Industrial Watertreatment have introduced Aton in their engineering processes.
In the past, the focus in the use of Aton was Product development, i.e. item, model and drawing document management by product engineers. Nowadays focus is moving to also project engineering processes and other kinds of product related documents with an expanded group of users: all those employees that have a need for product information.
New advanced Aton use supports this process of creating a new product information platform and also improving the co-operation between r&d and other parts of organization, such as projects, operations and services.
