During the upcoming holiday season, Esys will be supporting the Toys for Tots organization. In these tough times, we feel that it is more important than ever to step up and give back wherever and whenever possible. Our team has an amazing ability to rise up to any challenge. We are excited to see what our organization, customers, suppliers, family and friends can accomplish by setting our minds to the challenge of collecting as many gifts as possible for those less fortunate this holiday season. By giving your time and contributions we can make a difference to a child in need!

If you are in the area and feel compelled to contribute you can drop off your donation with us. The toy drive goes from now until December 17th. We sincerely appreciate your help in making this toy drive a success and bringing some joy to those who otherwise might go without.

Auburn Hills, MI – October 8, 2009 – Esys Corporation, an engineering and manufacturing systems integration firm, announced today two LASD Robotic Cells will be supplied to General Motors. These Robotic Cells will support the manufacturing of GM’s highly anticipated new vehicle – the Chevy Volt. Founded in 1999 to provide engineering excellence in electrical, mechanical and controls services, Esys’ has diversified its services over many industries; however, the roots of the company came from the automotive industry which it still serves today. The firm’s growth and sustainment realized over ten years of “collective talent, collaborative effort and consistent results.”

In line with GM green initiatives, Esys will utilize reclaimed equipment from another facility to provide two robotic LASD application cells. Fanuc robots will apply the material to the vehicle using pumps and guns supplied by Graco. Transfer conveyors will also be integrated into the cells for a complete turn-key installation to be completed during first quarter of 2010. By applying LASD material with robots, the solution will improve overall quality by increasing consistency while decreasing material cost. Esys is pleased to be a part of the manufacturing of GM’s new and groundbreaking vehicle.

Located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Esys provides automation engineering expertise in control systems, robotic cell integration, Manufacturing Execution Systems, material handling, and custom engineered products to our customers.

For more information about Esys’ capabilities or integration solutions, contact Chris Marcus, CEO at (248) 754-1900 or visit our website at www.esyscorp.com.

Esys will be on display at the upcoming Assembly Technology Expo located at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center (adjacent to O’Hare Airport, Chicago, IL) on September 22nd through 24th. With the theme “You Be the Operator,” Esys will showcase an interactive demonstration of its MES solution at Booth #1210.

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) options start at under $30,000.00, offering the most affordable MES system on the market.

On the plant floor, operators and tooling have the biggest impact on cost and quality. Esys provides the first and only MES solution to emphasize the operator and tooling. Esys MES solutions are built by manufacturing integration engineers, not IT software people. Our engineers spend more time on concrete than carpet, creating real world solutions for manufacturing excellence.

Esys engineers continue to support the launch of General Motor’s hot new car in Oshawa, Canada - the all new Chevy Camaro! GM engineers worked exclusively with the Esys engineers to successfully design and deploy the controls for more than 700 robots and all of the tooling in the body shop for this exciting new vehicle. The body shop utilized GM’s GCCH (Global Common Controls Hardware) and GCCS (Global Common Controls Software) for controls which significantly reduced design time and cost . Almost all of the electrical cabinets utilized throughout the body shop are standard, off the shelf panels that require little or no design time. The majority of the PLC and HMI software was auto generated utilizing GM’s software creation tools. Commissioning the Camaro’s tooling with all of the standardization in place proved to be a time saver as well – the tooling, cells and zones were up and running in an unprecedented amount of time!

Esys is proud to have played a role in assisting GM with the development of their global architecture designs and was pleased to see the benefits first hand. Bringing GM’s engineering team together with the Esys’ engineers was a perfect match, the result is a body shop with a very tight tolerance to their standard controls architecture which is producing a very exciting new product for General Motors!

Esys recently deployed an MES system to an Ohio manufacturer looking to reduce defects and incorporate traceability. MES (Manufacturing Execution System) has many definitions and functions in logistics and manufacturing. MES – Is typically thought of as a solution for measure and control of activities in areas of production to increase productivity and improve quality. The main focus is on the activities at the plant floor level to provide “real-time” information to respond to events as they occur. Many systems also serve as bridge to ERP/MRP systems or can also be a stand-alone solution for many users. MES is used to collect all types of data from all types of sources, including directly from the manufacturing equipment and from personnel performing production activities. It is often set-up to provide real-time feedback to production personnel, as well as supervisors and managers.

In one of our most recent installations, the customer was experiencing some difficulties in shipping product with the wrong option content or process defects. Instead of purchasing a large and expensive suite of software, they turned to Esys. We provided them with a couple of our MES software modules and also delivered a hardware platform to suit the application. The software modules gave them the ability to schedule production, provide operators with electronic work instructions and record traceability and geneology information. The unique advantage Esys brings is our experience as a systems integrator. Our systems integrate with the production environment. In addition to interfacing with a QAD ERP system, our MES system records LOT information from assembly parts, torque data from the line side tools and interfaces to the conveyor to provide containment. The customer is very happy with the system and notes Esys saved them tens of thousands of dollars over other competitive offerings.

Esys Corporation, an engineering and manufacturing systems integration firm, today announced the successful upgrade for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) for the Bureau of Reclamation in Yuma, AZ. Created in 1999 to provide engineering excellence in electrical, mechanical and controls services, Esys’ services are diversified across many industries including supporting many Government agencies. The firm’s growth and sustainment realized over ten years of “collective talent, collaborative effort and consistent results.”

The Bureau of Reclamation required the upgrade to their Senator Wash and Imperial Dam facilities outside Yuma, Arizona. The old system was running on PC based hardware that was outdated, unreliable and unsupported. The engineering team at Esys took on the challenge to help modernize their critical power generation equipment. The result is an up to date system that is fully supported and reliable.

Esys supplied the facilities with new computers running the latest Microsoft operating system in addition to the latest Cimplicity HMI Server with Proficy Global Care software. The Cimplicity application runs on a desktop computer and is used as the interface between the operators and the control of the pumps and gates at the facilities. Our integration team completed the upfront software engineering conversion. Complete software testing occurred at our Auburn Hills office to ensure a smooth transition once the equipment was deployed to the facilities at Yuma. Once on-site, Esys executed a seamless transition from the outdated hardware to the new hardware and tested the communication to the existing Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) without incident or interruption. Our team provided training and support to the on-site operators. The project was completed on-time resulting in a customer satisfied with our work.

Esys is a progressive company that operates in an open book management environment that shares success with the employees. This approach has provided Esys with a tremendous core of talented engineers that consistently provide customers with the type of service and products they expect and deserve.
