关于客户
American Tubing, Inc. (ATI) 成立于 1976 年，总部位于阿肯色州斯普林代尔，是空调和制冷行业铜部件和钎焊铜组件的领先生产商。ATI 的营收超过 1000 万美元，是一家拥有 150 多名员工的按订单生产工厂，根据客户的具体规格和图纸生产零件。在实施 Intuitive ERP 之前，ATI 面临着许多制造商都熟悉的一个问题 — 调度。客户要求缩短交货时间，而 ATI 现有的 ERP 系统无法提供快速响应所需的信息。因此，ATI 的业务不断流失。
挑战
American Tubing, Inc. (ATI) 在调度方面面临巨大挑战。他们的客户要求缩短交货时间，而 ATI 现有的 ERP 系统无法提供快速响应所需的信息。因此，ATI 正在失去业务。此外，ATI 正在将其设备从手动操作转变为自动化操作，他们需要一个能够高效调度并具有机器装载能力的系统。对于 ATI 来说，随时查看车间负荷至关重要，这样他们才能在生产线出现减速之前发现潜在问题并制定纠正解决方案。
解决方案
ATI 管理层考虑在内部重写现有系统，同时寻找其他解决方案。然后他们了解到 Intuitive ERP — 一个提供 100% Microsoft® 解决方案的软件系统。在访问 Intuitive 后，ATI 确定 Intuitive ERP 的系统功能非常适合他们的业务，并授权 Intuitive ERP 基础系统，该系统具有位置/批次跟踪和车间控制 (SFC) 选项，可供 25 个并发用户使用。ATI 认为，从一开始就参与这项技术对他们自身的发展很重要。这项投资为 ATI 带来了回报。“到目前为止，我们还没有考虑尽快安装任何可用的升级，”Lewis 说。“新版本总是更快，功能更丰富。”

Continuous Casting Machines in a Steel Factory
With a very broad range of applications, steel is an important material and has been developed into the most extensive alloy in the engineering world. Since delivering high quality is absolutely crucial for steel plants, ensuring maximum productivity and the best quality production are the keys to competitiveness in the steel industry. Additionally, working conditions in steel factories are not suitable for workers to stay in for long periods of time, so manufactures usually adopt various machines to complete the steel production processes. However, the precision of these machines is often overestimated and the lack of flexibility also makes supervisors unable to adjust operating procedures. A renowned steel factory in Asia planned to improve its Distributed Control System (DCS) of furnaces as well as addressing the problem of insufficient accuracy. However, most well-known international equipment suppliers can not provide a satisfactory solution and local maintenance because the project needed new technologies to more accurately control equipment operations. By implementing Advantech’s automated monitoring and control solution, steel factories can not only improve the manufacturing processes but can also allow users to add additional functions to the existing system so as to make sure the operation runs at high efficiency.
