Aegis Software, a global provider of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software, announces that HEITEC’s business unit Elektronik, a leading manufacturer of complex electronic solutions based in Eckental, Germany, is expanding its use of the FactoryLogix® MES platform to additional products. Building on the success of its initial implementation in 2021, HEITEC is scaling its FactoryLogix deployment to drive greater production efficiency, automation, and data-driven decision-making.

Since implementing the FactoryLogix IIoT-based MES platform, HEITEC has fully digitized its manufacturing processes, eliminating the inefficiencies and risks associated with paper-based documentation. The platform’s end-to-end traceability capabilities, from incoming material logistics control through generation of complete final assembly “as-built” records, have provided a competitive advantage by helping HEITEC meet stringent ISO certification requirements.

With this current expansion, HEITEC is strengthening its commitment to lean manufacturing and operational excellence, unlocking new efficiencies and increasing production capacity. HEITEC is further enhancing visibility across all processes to drive even greater efficiency, leveraging expanded quality and process reporting along with deeper factory KPI analysis through FactoryLogix. Additionally, HEITEC aims to further automate the entire shop floor to unlock additional capacity, drive continuous improvement, and support its long-term growth strategy.

"In recent years, FactoryLogix has driven the development of our manufacturing processes in terms of traceability, process interlocking according to test steps, and worker guidance, while transitioning to a fully paperless environment. This transformation has enabled our employees to focus on higher-value tasks, driving more efficient production and improving overall throughput. Looking ahead, we plan to fully automate our factory and integrate data from all sources into FactoryLogix, enabling even more extensive traceability and deeper process insights," explains Stefan Pechtel, Head of Operations at HEITEC in Eckental.

“We are very proud that HEITEC is expanding its partnership with Aegis Software,” states Daniel Walls, Managing Director, EMEA, at Aegis Software. “HEITEC has successfully leveraged FactoryLogix for several years, and this expansion will strengthen their ability to further streamline operations, improve material flow, and scale production. Through regular audits and close collaboration, we will support HEITEC in driving process improvements and maximizing the benefits of FactoryLogix to enhance operational efficiency, increase agility, and ensure long-term competitiveness.”
