Case Study: A.P. Plasman saves a week’s worth of production with Zontec’s Synergy 2000

A.P. Plasman Windsor Plant Saves a Week’s Worth of Production Using Synergy 2000

A.P. Plasman, a manufacturer and painter of plastic exterior automotive moldings, faced quality-control challenges across multiple locations — including the risk of up to a week’s worth of inventory going undetected between molding and paint plants — plus frequent dimensional spills at sister paint facilities and laborious manual data entry for 200–250 parts. To address these issues they turned to Zontec and its Synergy 2000 SPC software.

Zontec implemented Synergy 2000 on the shop floor, enabling automated data capture (RS232/foot-pedal integration), instant capability reporting, and paperless SPC. As a result Zontec’s solution gave A.P. Plasman better visibility into outgoing quality, significantly reduced dimensional spills, eliminated data-entry errors, and saved operators about 30% of their day on data entry while cutting many man-hours from SPC reporting — also helping assess new-product quality readiness and protect up to a week’s worth of production.
