Nexteer Automotive Recognized with Two 2022 Manufacturing Leadership Awards
Demonstrates Ongoing Commitment to Manufacturing Excellence;
Marks Fifth Consecutive Year Receiving Award
AUBURN HILLS, Mich, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Nexteer Automotive has been recognized as a winner of two 2022 Manufacturing Leadership Awards for its outstanding achievement in Digital Network Connectivity and Enterprise Integration and Technology.
In the Digital Network Connectivity category, Nexteer’s winning project, Nexteer Traceability (Nextrace) Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), utilizes an existing traceability system to produce MES reporting. It does this by connecting to multiple other sources of big data (i.e., master database, enterprise resource planning, etc.) to use low code technology to produce reports for production, engineering and quality departments. Benefits include providing a live, daily data summary of production, alarms and more; notifying key personnel of abnormalities; and bringing together many aspects of MES, such as production, quality, gaging, audits and more.
Nexteer’s Digital Process Data Monitor, which won in the Enterprise Integration and Technology category, is a user-friendly, web-based dashboard that displays Nexteer process data for any machine wherever the user has access. The system allows the Nexteer user to evaluate any collected process data globally in the Company’s Nextrace database through customizable web pages. It also includes extensive configurable alert options and can incorporate notifications through Microsoft Teams and email when an alert occurs.
“Nexteer is honored to be recognized by the National Association of Manufacturers for the fifth straight year for our commitment to manufacturing excellence. Each of our 2022 award-winning projects have expanded our capabilities, enhanced our efficiency and strengthened our commitment to Manufacturing 4.0 advancement,” said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive.
