Eyelit Wins Significant Deal with Large European MEMS Manufacturer

SAN JOSE, Calif.--Nov. 8, 2004--Eyelit, Inc., the leader in Collaborative Production Management (CPM) solutions for visibility, control and coordination of manufacturing operations for the electronics, life sciences, and semiconductor industries, announced today it had won a order for their VISUAL*eyes(TM) enterprise manufacturing suite, at a large automotive MEMS component supplier in Europe. This marks the fifth MEMS manufacturer to select Eyelit's products to improve process control and operational efficiency.

Eyelit's solution was selected after a detailed, rigorous, nine month selection process that included all major MES vendors. After a series of demonstrations, product reviews, and on-site customer reference visits, Eyelit's suite of VISUAL*eyes (enterprise MES), HARMON*eyes (Enterprise System Coordination / Business Process Management), UTIL*eyes (Enterprise Asset Management), RATIONAL*eyes (Product Cost Accounting) was selected because of its clear advantage with speed of implementation, unique capability for fab and assembly operations, lowest total cost of ownership and highest customer satisfaction.

"This a major win for Eyelit, expanding our European customer base and beating out all of the well known MES vendors. Unlike the competing solutions, the Eyelit product suite focused not only on traceability and genealogy but established an easy to use framework for innovation which was very important to this customer," remarked Crispin Panyard, VP of Client and Partner Services for Eyelit. "As the leader in the next generation of MES systems, it's rewarding to see manufacturers are recognizing there are application alternatives to costly, difficult to maintain, toolkit MES systems that have dominated the market in the past."

Eyelit is the only MES software provider that cost effectively provides a complete manufacturing solution for both process and discrete industries. Innovative technology allows Eyelit to leap frog competitors and implement a solution in the half the time of traditional MES products. With added capability for multi-site synchronization of plant models and coordination of the supply chain, Eyelit is the best choice for manufacturers with multiple sites looking to adopt lean manufacturing, improve supply chain execution, track and manage assets as well as product cost information.
