Eagle Replaces ADC System at Orthodyne Electronics

KINNELON, N.J.--May 1, 20056, 2005--Orthodyne Electronics chose Eagle Consulting and Development's RF Express(TM) for MFG/PRO as their new platform for automated data collection (ADC).

According to Eagle Executive VP Bill Paone, "Because Orthodyne had already been through a prior attempt at implementing an automated data collection (ADC) and bar code system, they had reason to be very particular. As the leading provider of real-time ADC and bar coding solutions to QAD MFG/PRO users worldwide, Eagle could promise - and deliver - a proven solution."

Orthodyne (www.orthodyne.com) is an industry leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of ultrasonic wire bonding equipment for the semiconductor, automotive, and industrial markets worldwide. According to Shannon Biggs, Director of Operations, "As our operation has grown larger and more complex, we were looking for a system that would streamline our processes, provide accurate data and excellent tracking capabilities. Eagle did all of that, and did so with a short implementation cycle as well."

Marianne DeBruycker, Business Systems Analyst, continued, "We needed everything from intelligent (transaction-dependent) labels to better identification of parts to improved accuracy and control. And, of course, we wanted real-time data." That meant a system that communicated well with Orthodyne's enterprise system (QAD MFG/PRO). Eagle's product was designed specifically and only for MFG/PRO, is written in Progress, like MFG/PRO itself, and uses the same validation and edit routines.

Orthodyne also derived other benefits from Eagle's years of experience. According to Marianne, "This was one of the smoothest implementations we've seen. Responsiveness and support were truly exceptional."

To date, Orthodyne has implemented RF Express for MFG/PRO at their Irvine, CA headquarters. Over the next two years, they plan to roll it out to service centers as well.
