Infor NexusTM, the single-instance intelligent supply chain network platform providing unparalleled visibility and collaboration, announced a new product to help companies map their multi-tier supply chains and provide evidence to support compliance with regulations such as the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act and Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and the French AGEC Law and to document substantiation for product claims. This new application called Map and Trace, was co-developed with industry leader Burton Snowboards to help companies “connect the dots” between suppliers, their suppliers, and the transactional records supporting the chain of custody. The process of mapping the suppliers and collecting the documentation is highly manual and first requires participation from the tier 1 supplier. Infor Nexus has more than 80,000 suppliers and factories in its network who are managing global trade processes for brands including Burton. “We had sat through countless demos of other platforms and questioned who is going

iBase-t, a leading provider of manufacturing, quality, and MRO solutions, announced the availability of Solumina MBE Advanced, a new offering that integrates 3D digital models across its Solumina iSeries Manufacturing Operations Platform to drive quality, efficiency, and cost savings. Launched with the i110 release of the Solumina iSeries platform, Solumina MBE Advanced is the industry’s first model-based MES solution purpose-built for complex discrete manufacturers in aerospace and defense, shipbuilding, and other critical industries. It empowers front-line workers on the shop floor with intuitive 3D work instructions that streamline production and reduce errors. Process planners assign components from a 3D CAD model to operations or steps within a process plan through an intuitive visual experience. On the shop floor, technicians leverage dynamic 3D work instructions that guide them through each operation with clear visual indicators, driving efficiency and reducing errors. The 3D model evolves with each step, reflecting the current state of the assembly. The

Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), offers industrial software for cross-industry automation solutions through its subsidiary Kontron AIS GmbH. Equipped with new features, the v4.2 release of FabEagle®MES supports the efficient production of solar cells and solar modules. The new version of the manufacturing execution system FabEagle®MES offers three important new features that are specifically designed to meet the requirements of dynamically growing solar cell and solar module manufacturing with production capacities of at least 1 GW. The MES supports the most important steps in production with traceability and process monitoring and as a result helps with quality assurance, process optimization and cost reduction. The new version provides active transport control for configurable material deployment of complex material flow systems in solar module factories. Production routing and process machines are controlled based on product type, quality and status information. In addition to standard processes, this also includes bypass

Honeywell announced the launch of its Battery Manufacturing Excellence Platform (Battery MXP), an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software solution designed to optimize the operation of gigafactories from day one by improving battery cell yields and expediting facility startups for manufacturers. With traditional standalone solutions, battery manufacturers' material scrap rates can be as high as 30% at steady state and even higher during the facility startup processii. This practice can lead to millions of dollars of wasted energy and material while a gigafactory slowly scales to a more efficient and profitable production over several years. Battery MXP incorporates AI techniques in the manufacturing process, which enables the detection and remediation of quality issues before they result in scrapped material. The solution then utilizes machine learning to identify conditions that lead to quality issues and turns this data into action-oriented insights that manufacturers can use to improve efficiency and productivity. By delivering powerful data that can improve
