Company Overview
E-Manufacturing Solutions that just plain work!

We are a systems integrator focused on the e-manufacturing extension of business-to-business e-commerce. We transform traditional manufacturing operations into e-manufacturing enterprises. Our e-business expertise is combined with process/plant-floor knowledge to close the gap between business planning systems and shop-floor production systems.

APS is positioned to help you capitalize on the emerging economic and technological manufacturing trends. With increased global competition and the growing acceptance of the Internet, e-business is quickly becoming a reality. E-manufacturing is the result of the convergence of e-business on manufacturers.

Manufacturers and their associated trading partners are under intense pressure to satisfy the demands of customers in an ever-increasing competitive world. Instead of building stock products, warehousing the products, and shipping them to customers through a chain of distributors and retailers, manufacturers must learn how to deal directly with their end-user customers.

The emergence of the Internet has only heightened the speed of which manufacturers must move to satisfy the customer. The Internet places the customer at the center of the universe, in the driver's seat so to speak. The e-lifestyle of consumers is such that they expect manufacturers to build products tailored to their personal preferences or taste. They in turn expect those products to be delivered to their doorsteps within days of placing an order.

In efforts to satisfy the customer, maintain market share, and increase profits, manufacturers are focusing on various strategies including:

• Performance Management
• Employee Productivity
• Lean Manufacturing
• Real-time Data Collection
• Traceability
• Dynamic Scheduling
• Product Quality Control
• Process/Machine Automation

APS delivers tailored application solutions, built on our proven I/Gear technology, that help you maintain your competitive edge. Our solutions enable manufacturers to seamlessly integrate their top floor with their shop floor.

APS' vision of the future of manufacturing calls for the ability to respond to rapid change. Consumers demand mass customization of products and deliveries at "internet-speeds". To meet such demands, manufacturers need to achieve new levels of speed and accuracy.

APS products and services enable you to deal with these demands and continuously improve the competitiveness of your manufacturing enterprise. Together, we boost quality, productivity, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Our success is only achieved through the success of our customers.
