Sussex Wire Relies on Synergis Adept Document Management to Bolster Its Product Design and Manufacturing Processes
QUAKERTOWN, Pa. –Â Synergis Software (www.SynergisSoftware.com), the creators of Synergis Adept engineering document management, announced today that Sussex Wire (www.SussexWire.com), a world leader in the design and production of custom cold-formed component parts in mini- and micro-geometries, has implemented the Adept solution to enhance all its product design and manufacturing processes.
Sussex Wire currently uses Adept at its global headquarters in Easton, Pennsylvania. At a point in time when the company chooses to acquire complementary manufacturing technology companies and associated locations, it plans to grow the solution to accommodate a distributed, multi-CAD environment. Explains Tim Kardish, President, "Adept is just the right size for us now. . . and will easily scale up for future growth. As we bring on other companies, we can import their drawings, their files, and their models, and link them into a single, unified document management solution--whether they are using SolidWorks or another CAD package."
As a first step, Adept helped the company make dramatic strides in searching for parts and related files. Says Madan Mathevan, Director of Engineering, "All of our drawings and documents were all over the place. It was a nightmare to find anything quickly. We took almost thirty minutes to search for one document by going through different computers. Now, with Adept, all the information that is shared between engineering, manufacturing, and quality control gets documented through Adept and is easily searchable."
Adept Brings Heft to a Growing Company
Because of Adept's document control, search, and audit capabilities, Sussex Wire is far closer to reaching its goals of faster time-to-market and traceability for its customers. Remarks Mathevan, "If a customer comes to us and asks, 'Can you give us the history behind everything that happened on this particular product?', we can quickly show them all of the audit trails that happened on that particular product as well as all of the documents engineering-wise, manufacturing-wise, quality, and tooling."
Adds Kardish, "When we get all of our document history updated and controlled through Adept, we will, with complete confidence, be able to show our customers the next level in traceability for design, documentation, and quality records. This extends and simplifies Sussex Wire's ability to meet the most stringent world-class requirements."
