Sanmina Launches 42Q Connected Manufacturing, Real-Time Visibility to Distributed Manufacturing Immediately Available
October 8, 2024 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
42Q, a Sanmina division, a leading provider of cloud-based Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), announces the launch and immediate availability of 42Q Connected Manufacturing. An innovative solution that addresses manufacturing supply challenges in real-time, providing global visibility, optimization and manufacturing supply insights.
"Working with our customers and manufacturing partners around the world, it became clear that the legacy approach to collecting and processing multiple data sets from different factories, suppliers, and partners, forced companies to make critical decisions from stale, inaccurate, or incomplete data," said Manesh Patel, Chief Operating Officer at 42Q. "42Q Connected Manufacturing solves those problems and dramatically improves the time and quality of decision making, delivering operational efficiency and effectiveness that historically have been unavailable."
With rapid deployment ranging from 4-12 weeks, 42Q Connected Manufacturing integrates seamlessly with existing systems or is offered in a stand-alone configuration. This cross-industry solution leverages real-time data, allowing manufacturers and OEMs to anticipate supply or quality challenges and respond with agility and accuracy.
Key features of 42Q Connected Manufacturing include:
- Unified Data Ecosystem
- Consolidation of product and operational supply data into a single manufacturing data lake.
- Enabling faster planning and improved responsiveness to market and product changes.
- Real-time Analytics
- Real-time data provides immediate operational metrics and analysis.
- Optimized shop floor inventory visibility, reduced downtime and improved time and quality of decision making.
- Enhanced Quality Monitoring
- Real-time monitoring and analysis of processes and product quality.
- Faster response to quality deviations, leading to reduced waste and improved product reliability.
- 42Q Connected Manufacturing is immediately available worldwide and has already been implemented by global leaders and Fortune 500 companies.
"42Q Connected Manufacturing has allowed us to consolidate data from our global fleet of suppliers and factories, creating a data pipeline into our manufacturing data lake for analysis at scale. This has allowed us to be faster and more effective in how we benchmark processes across sites, as well as act on and understand component quality changes happening in real-time," said Principal Program Manager, Fortune 50 company.
Testimonial
