PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 06/26/08 MASS
MASS Group Delivers FactoryServer CMMS EAM Version 4.4 with Significant
Features to Improve Asset and Maintenance Management
New Modules and Enhanced User Interface Deliver Greater Power
Chatsworth, CA (June 26, 2008) – Manufacturing Automation & Software Systems
Group, Inc. (MASS Group, Inc.), a leading developer of software products
for managing and executing the manufacturing process, today announced the
release of FactoryServer™ CMMS EAM 4.4. The latest release includes
new features to increase productivity and improve the customer experience.
FactoryServer CMMS EAM provides plant management and reporting tools for
tracking and maintaining production equipment and assets at peak
performance.
“FactoryServer CMMS EAM 4.4 delivers on MASS Group’s commitment to
continually improve the efficiencies and effectiveness of our automation
software products,” said Gamal Balady, president and CEO of MASS Group, Inc.
“We believe FactoryServer CMMS EAM 4.4 is the most comprehensive system to
provide critical KPIs, such as OEE, Uptime and total cost of asset ownership
(TCO). A manager will have a real time view of plant health and
production status.”
MASS Group’s comprehensive hosted SaaS (Software as a Service) model allows
companies with 5 to 500 users to leverage the full power of FactoryServer
CMMS EAM with virtually no additional internal IT support. This
expanded subscription software pricing model eliminates the need for a large
upfront capital investment.
Four key FactoryServer CMMS EAM 4.4 enhancements:
Check In/Check Out – a new module that tracks possession and location of
assets as they are assigned to users. “Checks out” moveable assets,
from electronic microscopes to drill bits, and enables users to know who has
what, where, and why they have it.
Reports Module – any user can now create their own custom reports on any of
the data within CMMS or any other SQL Server database without programming
knowledge or reliance on IT personnel. This powerful tool allows a
user to easily and quickly pull, organize, and format any type of data
necessary to make informed decisions. Reports can be accessed anytime
with real time data or scheduled and emailed to FactoryServer users and/or
anyone with an email address.
Asset Scheduling – an improved asset reservation capability where calendars
can now be accessed from several modules within the FactoryServer CMMS EAM
software. This feature also includes a Reservation Approvals ability
which provides notification of approval (or rejection) to requestors via
email. An additional option reserves assets automatically via a
scheduled work order.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) - a new module that uses statistical
techniques to measure and improve the reliability of processes and equipment
uptime. As the data is collected, it detects any unusual variation in
the process which could indicate a problem. By understanding
performance trends, users are able to establish rules that support
Predictive Maintenance strategies. This module brings the user closer
to true Predictive Maintenance.
Other improvements to FactoryServer CMMS EAM 4.4 include predictive
scheduling of work orders. Work orders are triggered and scheduled
based on performance metrics, such as operational hours, mean time between
failure (MTBF), and numbers of cycles.
In addition to new modules, FactoryServer CMMS EAM 4.4 continues to advance
the user experience by providing greater flexibility through enhancements to
its user interface. Version 4.4 leverages the full Microsoft®.NET
architecture. The result is a system that novice users can leverage
along with the most experienced.
The FactoryServer CMMS EAM software is a web-based application. Any
networked (Internet or Intranet) computer can access the system.
Factory Server CMMS EAM software core components include: Maintenance
Management; Work Order Management; Predictive Maintenance; Asset Management;
Equipment Management; Contact Management; and Inventory Management.
“This release supports the strong momentum and market share growth
FactoryServer CMMS EAM is experiencing on the factory floor,” continued Mr.
Balady. “With 4.4 we've integrated new modules and delivered major
enhancements to its design, functionality and interface. The result is
a solution that is easy-to-use yet extremely effective in tracking and
managing inventory and assets. We are excited to introduce 4.4 to the
marketplace and look forward to it helping our existing and new customers
improve their business.”
