T.I.G. and iPlast 4.0 team up in a strategic partnership
Technische Informationssysteme GmbH (T.I.G.) and iPlast 4.0 just announced a broad partnership that significantly expands T.I.G.'s reach in Asia and other high-growth key markets. The new partnership aims to spark innovation and increase sales figures in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) market by combining resources from both companies.
T.I.G. and iPlast 4.0 are partnering up to help businesses focus on working more effectively and increase the overall optimization in production. This partnership is a strong strategic fit, combining the two companies' strengths across several areas:
- With its training program "service excellence", iPlast 4.0 is widely networked in Industry 4.0 topics in Asia and is a key player in identifying optimization potential in plastics production. The MES solution "authentig" by T.I.G. records the production process and continuously calculates the OEE and other key indicators and thus shows the overall optimization potential.
- The combination of „service excellence" and the smart MES solution "authentig" ensures the long-term competitiveness of its customers, because their employees too are professionally supported and competently introduced to the requirements of Industry 4.0.
- "authentig" creates complete transparency in the manufacturing process due to its module depth, and by that is an important entry point into the digitization of the production.
"Due to the cooperation with iPlast 4.0 in Asia, we expect a rapid market penetration of our MES solution "authentig". The holistic view – from demonstrating the optimization potential in a plastics production via a proposed solution to the installation of our MES solution – ensures that our customers are ready for Industry 4.0", says Wolfgang Frohner, CEO of T.I.G.
The relationship with iPlast 4.0 presents a powerful opportunity for T.I.G. to significantly expand the company's presence in Asia, a vibrant and very important market, and to extend it to other parts of the world over time. T.I.G. is excited to partner with iPlast 4.0, as both companies focus their combined energies on serving a broad range of customers with its innovative MES solution."
"From our experience helping Small and Mid-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Asia adopt Industry 4.0, we know it is important to have an ecosystem of partners that have the insights, expertise, and willingness to be an enabler with iPlast 4.0. It is our pleasure to announce that the collaboration with T.I.G. brings with it not only well-proven MES solutions, but also a strong and synergistic alliance that can co-create digitalization solutions for our customers", Anston Tan, Principal of iPlast 4.0 points out.
