Visiprise Partners with Tata Consultancy Services to Deliver Innovative Manufacturing Solutions
Visiprise, Inc. announced that it has partnered with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Visiprise and TCS will work in collaboration with SAP AG through its efforts aimed at helping manufacturing customers achieve the ‘perfect plant’, providing discrete manufacturers with an industry-leading MES solution to enable a tightly-integrated technology ecosystem.
Visiprise, through its formal reseller agreement with SAP AG, will deliver the SAP® Manufacturing Execution application by Visiprise, an MES solution that provides route enforcement, traceability and shop floor execution capabilities. The solution is integrated with the SAP ERP application through the SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) application to provide manufacturers with better visibility into production operations.
TCS, through its Global Network Delivery ModelTM, will deliver ‘one stop’ domain expertise to integrate shop floor information into enterprise systems, enabling manufacturers to consistently meet their business objectives.
“The combination of deep domain expertise of TCS in integrating shop floor information to the enterprise and the capabilities of SAP and Visiprise allow manufacturers greater visibility, tighter integration and optimization of their shop floor information.” said Regu Ayyaswamy, VP, Engineering and Industrial Services, TCS. “The Visiprise-TCS partnership will provide significant value to customers that want to drive both global coordination and local execution across their manufacturing networks.”
The companies will formally launch their collaboration through the Perfect Plant center of excellence, designed as a virtual manufacturing scenario lab and operated by a global “virtual team” from TCS and SAP. The center of excellence was formed to help manufacturers achieve the perfect plant by combining global manufacturing coordination with local execution to improve end-to-end manufacturing operations and financial performance.
“Visiprise and TCS have demonstrated tremendous success working with SAP to leverage the SAP xMII composite application as a manufacturing operations platform,” said Mike Wendell, vice president, Manufacturing Solutions at SAP America Inc. “Customers and SAP partners can effectively fast-track new ideas leveraging SAP applications and Visiprise manufacturing execution at the Perfect Plant center of excellence. Combined with global services expertise from TCS, this enables a fast, effective implementation and quicker time to benefit for our joint customers.”
