“We have to glean
comprehensive and
accurate downtime
and efficiency
information in order
to make decisions.
We think of AIA as
more of a partner
than a supplier. One
with superb problem
solving skills.”
“Because we get more
and better data out
of the plant,
quickly, we can
schedule operations
better.
Additionally,
because product
quality is so good,
we can run systems
on a near-to-spec
basis instead of
over-spec.”
“Change over time
used to take 40
minutes. Now it’s
literally the push
of a button. We are
also producing more
accurate, more
consistent products,
which reduces our
materials costs.”
