Tecnomatix Technologies announced that The Boeing Company has has adopted the Tecnomatix eMPower Quality Solution as one of its corporate standards for quality assurance.
Commenting on the acquisition, Stephen Giles UK manager for Tecnomatix, said, "We see this as an important step forward in broadening the application of MPM throughout our customers' manufacturing facilities.
We can now offer end-to-end solutions for collaborative planning, engineering, and execution of manufacturing processes.
Benefits to customers will be the ability to monitor, supervise, and control the manufacturing processes on the shop floor, increasing response time and lowering costs.
Building on Tecnomatix' existing strengths in production engineering, we expect this enlarged scope to differentiate our company from any other competitors in the marketplace." Work has already started on planning the integration of the USDATA products with the Tecnomatix eMPower family of MPM solutions.
Sales and technical support in the UK will continue from USDATA's existing offices in Leatherhead, Surrey.
The supervisory-level control and data acquisition (SCADA) and manufacturing execution systems (MES) products formerly offered by USDATA - FactoryLink and Xfactory - will be retained, developed and sold under the Tecnomatix name.
Tecnomatix plans to maintain USDATA's extensive network of resellers, distributors and integration partners.
These will be augmented by existing Tecnomatix sales channels, to sell FactoryLink and Xfactory, and to leverage this network to sell other Tecnomatix products.
Tecnomatix plans to retain the USDATA Richardson facility and product team as its SCADA and MES competency centre.
