Case Study: Sanmina achieves global digital factory visibility with 42Q

Sanmina connects 35,000+ devices with 42Q for global factory visibility

Sanmina, a tier one contract manufacturer producing 250 million products annually for 700 different OEMs, faced significant challenges with its existing on-premise MES. The system required substantial maintenance from IT and operations teams and was limited in its ability to provide real-time production visibility across its global network of factories and manage complex supply chains. They partnered with 42Q for its cloud-based manufacturing execution system (MES).

The solution from 42Q unified 50 manufacturing facilities worldwide, connecting over 35,000 pieces of equipment to provide real-time visibility into WIP, yield, and throughput. This created a unified virtual cloud factory, enabling plants to self-deploy the system and rapidly expand its use. The implementation provided global supply chain visibility, real-time alerts for production issues, and served as a backbone for automation and IIoT initiatives.
