HORSHAM, PA — Aegis Software, a global provider of Manufacturing Operations Management Software (MOM/MES), and Arch Systems®, a leading provider of data and analytics for manufacturing operations, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at digitizing the continuous improvement of factory operations.
Manufacturing excellence hinges on the ability to proactively identify issues and implement corrective action. This process depends heavily on analytics powered by comprehensive data. The speed and effectiveness with which a manufacturer identifies issues and takes action separates world-class manufacturers from the rest.
In this ground-breaking partnership, Aegis and Arch have collaborated to deliver an AI Copilot designed to guide manufacturers towards the right actions. If desired, these actions can be automatically implemented via FactoryLogix® on the shop floor, accelerating the cycle of continuous improvement beyond what is achievable with human experts alone.
The Arch Insight Engine, augmented with contextualized product design and human operator interaction data provided by Aegis’ FactoryLogix, becomes even more potent in suggesting targeted operational and process improvements. The results of these actions are then assessable through both Arch and Aegis systems to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective action. This represents an unparalleled use of AI in manufacturing that leverages a broader scope of data than ever before, while also reaching into the physical process to drive improvement.
Andrew Scheuermann, CEO of Arch Systems, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that it would enable their mutual customers to detect and align patterns and trends in their data, leading to specific actions for improvement. He highlighted the anticipation surrounding the introduction of a complete AI Copilot that drives intelligent actions holistically for organizations, marking a crucial step in integrating intelligent actions derived from previously collected MES data with analytics and AI systems.
Echoing these sentiments, Aegis Software CEO, Jason Spera, emphasized the clear concept behind their technology: to power autonomously improving operations, a unique and fundamental aspect of Industry 4.0. He noted that this solution meets a market need for better leveraging of data from processes to enhance operational success. The AI Copilot goes beyond data and analytics to drive actual operational improvement—either via factory operators or directly via MES.
