Case Study: Isuzu Motors achieves reliable, scalable, always-on manufacturing execution with Stratus Technologies ftServer systems

RELIABLE, SCALABLE MANUFACTURING Execution With Stratus Ftserver Systems

Isuzu Motors Limited, a global leader in trucks and diesel engines, modernized production at its Fujisawa plant after an outdated system left press processing and resin molding outside automated control. With production schedules heavily dependent on manual input and zero tolerance for downtime, Isuzu sought a reliable, scalable MES to automate scheduling, support unique factory processes, and maintain high performance.

Isuzu implemented Stratus ftServer systems running Windows Server with MCFrame/AEParts, delivered by systems integrator QUALICA. The fault-tolerant, lockstep architecture provides continuous processing without application changes, simplifying development and deployment. The new MES centralized control, automated production planning and POP data reconciliation, improved efficiency and schedule adherence, shortened implementation time, and delivered near-five-nines availability to keep lines running uninterrupted.
