AutoCoding Systems has recently announced a strategic partnership with Shoplogix, leading developer of manufacturing performance management solutions.

Founded in 2002, Shoplogix has its headquarters in Ontario, Canada, with offices in Toronto, Hong Kong and Mexico.  With installations in over 40 countries worldwide, the UK and Ireland is an important geographical area and the partnership will enable AutoCoding Systems to not only support existing Shoplogix customers, but also help to build their customer base.

Experienced systems integrator, AutoCoding Systems, has over 10 years’ experience in the FMCG sector offering automation solutions across packaging line operations. Their products comprise a proven range of modular applications, from entry level coding and packaging integrity solutions through to complete set-up and control of all packaging line devices, such as coders, barcode scanners, labellers, metal detectors, check weighers and vision solutions.  The business benefits offered by AutoCoding Systems’ packaging line solutions include increased speed and reliability of line set-up, reduced job changeover time, reduced risk of human error, and the ability to manage packaging complexities.  The Shoplogix solution, facilitating the visualisation of manufacturing KPI data, is a natural extension of the AutoCoding product.

The Shoplogix solution enables companies to identify and evaluate where problems, performance limitations and constraints exist within their processing and packaging applications.  Their products concentrate on capturing real-time manufacturing data. This is then visualised, via a suite of highly professional reports, to display accurate machine performance information.

AutoCoding Systems recognises that precise and timely information is the first step in achieving a competitive advantage and the Shoplogix solution provides the objective measurements required to optimise any continuous improvement initiative.  The resulting information assists in reducing operating costs and, ultimately, delivers increases in manufacturing profitability.

From 1 March 2013, AutoCoding Systems will be offering support to existing Shoplogix customers in the UK and Ireland.  The partnership will result in benefits on both sides. Existing Shoplogix customers in the UK and Ireland will have a UK presence for both technical support and additional system functionality, whenever required; whilst all AutoCoding Systems’ customers, existing and prospective, will have access to real-time performance management solutions that optimize manufacturing processes to reduce costs and increase profitability.
