## EIS Deploys Flexxbotics Software for Factory-Wide Autonomous Process Control

Engineered & Industrial Solutions (EIS), a leading US-based expert in electrical process materials, aims to enhance autonomous process control by utilizing Flexxbotics software across 91 work cells in its factory. This move is expected to boost efficiency, reduce machine downtime, and improve sustainability.

As part of industrial digital transformation, Flexxbotics enables real-time data management of factory business processes, allowing for instant monitoring of efficiency, downtime, and production performance. This accelerates the factory's steps towards full automation and digitalization.

### The Role of Flexxbotics Software in the EIS Factory

Flexxbotics connects production cells with the enterprise's IT systems, supporting data-driven decision-making processes. Managers can instantly identify performance issues on the production floor and take necessary actions. Production rates of batches are monitored in real-time, making quoting and profit analyses more reliable.

Thanks to Flexxbotics, live production data is integrated into order prioritization and operational decision-making processes, creating a complete digital manufacturing environment. Production data is automatically transferred to the ERP system, eliminating the need for manual processing.

### Technical Features of Flexxbotics Software

• Autonomous process control for identifying production performance issues and taking independent actions
• Rapid deployment, with integration into six cells at launch without downtime
• Secure and real-time data integration with current and future IT systems
• Controller connectivity compatible with over 1000 factory machines and automation equipment
• Standardized and scalable automation infrastructure

EIS first used Flexxbotics software in six robotic automation cells, identifying major downtime issues and achieving a return on investment within 6 months. Following the successful implementation, the company decided to roll it out across the entire factory.

### Flexxbotics and Industrial Digital Transformation

Flexxbotics enables next-generation smart factory autonomy by digitalizing production. Its FlexxCORE technology seamlessly integrates and coordinates factory equipment, automation, and IT systems. Tyler Bouchard, CEO of Flexxbotics, stated, "When the entire factory is built on Flexxbotics, value accelerates rapidly. Every connected production cell makes the others smarter, elevating performance across the entire operation."

This expansion demonstrates the significant gains companies can achieve by transitioning from isolated automation applications to a single, factory-wide control plane.
