Company Description
Lean manufacturing is about eliminating waste, reducing cost, improving efficiency, and quality: PINpoint Information Systems takes you there. Working alongside and pushed-forward by leading manufacturers, we've been championing "Continuous Improvement" since 1997. We are a leading manufacturing execution system (MES) / manufacturing operations management (MOM) software developer.
IoT Solutions
PINpoint’s manufacturing execution system is used daily in multiple languages across the World. Innovation is key, now in version 5.x PINpoint continues to evolve with new versions escalating frequently as new developments are made. We have also combined our latest manufacturing optimization innovations into a modern ANDON communications platform which incorporates both manufacturing Tracking and reporting features. PINpoint's V5 MES meets the needs of any size manufacturer, it is the perfect entry-level into MES systems which is designed as a long-term solution. It is the most flexible "configurable" web based plant floor management system available; built to be scaled up, it grows with you as your operations expand.
Key Customers
PINpoint is an industry leading Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that both 'controls' and 'monitors' manufacturing operations for unprecedented error-proofing. Working with OEM customers like Caterpillar, Navistar, Perkins and most recently Hyundai have confirmed PINpoint’s position as a continuous improvement leader in the manufacturing industry. PINpoint Andon and MES system solutions have also played a major role at Lear, JCI, CalsonicKansei, AWTEC, Magna, Automodular, Arvin Meritor, Benteler and Hamilton Sundstrand on projects that supplied content to World leading manufacturers including Nissan, Boeing, Toyota, GM, Ford and Chrysler.

Case Studies.
Case Study
Maximizing Error-proofing in Manufacturing with MES/MOM Controlled Assembly Tools
This document summarizes the error-proofing solution a leading heavy machinery manufacturer implemented and standardized on in order to greatly reduce product defects due to improperly fastened bolts in transmission systems. Electric assembly tools called nutrunners are used by assembly line workers to fasten bolts to a predetermined torque measurement. Their decision to implement a manufacturing execution system (MES) or manufacturing operations management (MOM) software to both ‘monitor’ and ‘control’ all aspects of the assembly tools and line worker processes yielded unprecedented results by reducing bolted joint failures and Warranty claims by 94%.
Case Study
Aerospace Manufacturer Enabled by Manufacturing Execution System to Produce Safety Critical Electronics
This document summarizes the manufacturing execution system (MES), or manufacturing operations management (MOM) solution implemented by an Aerospace parts manufacturer in order to introduce full-accountability into their assembly processes. The MES/MOM delivered “integrity of process” by providing a control system which managed all aspects of the assembly process; and created a closed-loop of accountability, delivering the desired results every-single-time.A critical aspect to the achievement of their goal was the management of a new assembly line workforce. The true test of the dependability on the MES/MOM system was it empowered operators with little to no experience to build sophisticated electronic components to the highest quality standards. It is also noteworthy that the MES/MOM was able to be integrated and operational in a very short time frame in less than four (4) days.
Case Study
New Supercar Engine Assembly Perfected by Manufacturing Execution System
This document summarizes the manufacturing execution system (MES), or manufacturing operations management (MOM) solution implemented by a leading Automotive manufacturer to manage the complex assembly of the engine for their new Supercar. The MES/MOM was integral to ensure each and every single of the nearly two-thousand (2,000) process steps involved to build the engine were completed to the set specifications or tolerances without fail. MES/MOM ensured zero-defects during the assembly of the engines since it monitored and controlled all operations; all tools and devices, and the line workers themselves since the MES/MOM directed them from job start to end. The MES/MOM verified worker credentials, provided work instructions, and confirmed that the materials and tools were properly selected for the exact task at hand. Destined for the Automotive manufacturer’s highest-performance GT sports car (see Figure 1), the twin-turbo charged V6 “EcoBoost” engine is vital to the success of the final product. Given the intricacy of the engine and the number of steps needed to assemble it, and its high tolerances, the MES/MOM proved indispensable.
Case Study
Maximize Fastening Tool Effectiveness and Save Money with Manufacturing Execution System Control
Given the vast array of manufacturing fastening tools and assembly line device products available on the market, it can become overwhelming to identify which products you should purchase; as recommended by consultants or the tool suppliers themselves. Is it worth spending ‘extra money’ because of claims of added features and benefits? The question is, what is it you really-need to accomplish the task? What if you could purchase the most basic or cost-effective tool ‘needed’ for the job, with saved money in hand to put towards the over-all manufacturing execution system (MES) solution you really need? This is proven to be so, and fastening tool processes are a prime target application for manufacturers to improve their existing manufacturing operations (upgrade), or for new project specification; please consider the following.
Case Study
How Touchscreens Can Motivate Assembly Line Workers to Do Quality Work
When UTC Aerospace required a solution to manage assembly line workers with no previous manufacturing experience, it decided to try something new that set a precedent for its future manufacturing operations management (MOM) strategy.
