Case Study: Cummins Engine Co. achieves on-time delivery and shop floor efficiency with NDS Systems

Cummins Engine Co. - Customer Case Study

NDS Systems partnered with Cummins Engine Co. to help manage its complex industrial operations. The customer faced the challenge of integrating real-time shop floor activity and material flow with its legacy mainframe system to improve on-time delivery and efficiency across its global plants.

The solution implemented by NDS Systems centered on its Xephr application, which facilitated real-time communication between the shop floor and the legacy system via RPC calls. This included systems for custom machining, parts broadcasting, and material delivery, all deployed wirelessly to portable scanners and mounted touch screens. As a result, NDS Systems helped Cummins achieve an extremely high on-time delivery record, nearly eliminated paper use on the shop floor, and maintained the highest customer satisfaction record for parts delivery within the company.
