As part of an ongoing effort to build industry-specific credibility, control vendor GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has teamed up with the global IT service provider Wipro Technologies to target consumer packaged goods (CPG) and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The duo will offer systems and services ranging from implementation of production management systems to integration between plant and enterprise systems. The relationship stems from a deal inked in June, in which the two announced a go-to-market agreement to serve customers in the automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and CPG industries. In August, the companies unveiled their automotive strategy, including design for manufacturability, integrating sales and operations planning, enterprise application offerings, manufacturing operations management, and integration. This week's announcement follows a similar mold, as the companies said they will focus on the implementation and standardization of MES, and integration to gain visibility into manufacturing operations at the plant and enterprise level — with the aim of improving quality, regulatory compliance, traceability, and delivering manufacturing intelligence. GE Fanuc's MES software, GE Fanuc Production Management Software, is housed under its Proficy line of automation products. [Click to continue] |
