Shoplogix Inc., a leading developer of intelligent manufacturing plant floor productivity software is pleased to announce that Benlan Inc. is expanding their use of Plantnode, a solution which provides real-time, intelligent mining of shop floor data and machine utilization as well as predictive preventative maintenance alerts. Benlan is implementing ten new Plantnode units on multiple machines in their Oakville, Ontario facility. The company initially implemented Plantnode in April 2005 to assist them in gathering information on the efficiency of a form-fill-seal packaging machine. According to Tom Enns, President of Benlan, "Plantnode has helped us increase productivity on this machine by up to 25%, so it makes sense to implement the solution on more of our equipment." The company is implementing Plantnode on more packaging machines as well as tubing extrusion machines and custom catheter assembly equipment, to monitor and gather information on the overall productivity of each machine. According to Enns, the key to this solution is its ability to monitor and communicate in real time. Benlan Inc. is a medical device manufacturer specializing in disposable plastic products for the healthcare markets in Canada and the United States. The company operates a 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Oakville, Ontario where it manufactures molded and extruded medical components.
