Rexam chooses quality monitoring system
Rexam, one of the world's largest manufacturers of Beverage Cans, selected the Shopfloor-Online solution from Lighthouse Systems to replace their existing quality monitoring system
Divisional quality manager for Visy Beverage, Manek Irani, said: "This is a massive implementation and the decision process that we undertook was long, complex and far-reaching.
Our requirements were diverse and needed to be met at a plant and a corporate level, while satisfying a broad set of processes across the different business units".
He continued: "We were also being encouraged to find a solution that fitted with our corporate IT strategy where centralised servers are preferred.
Manek added: "After some tough scrutiny we selected Shopfloor-Online from Lighthouse Systems.
Not only does Lighthouse have a particularly strong product offering but they also have a proven pedigree in our sectors.
Their existing customer base is strong and subsequent reference visits to several of their customers across three continents were enough to convince us that Lighthouse was the right partner to work with".
