Newest Release Delivers Key Advancements in Closed-loop Quality Process for Global Discrete, Batch and Hybrid Operations
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (December 9, 2009) – Camstar Systems, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Platform solutions to Advance Product Quality, announced today that it has released Camstar Enterprise Platform™ 4.5 for general availability. Enhancements in version 4.5 - driven in collaboration with leading manufacturers using the Platform - include expanded enterprise-caliber capabilities for global enterprises with multiple manufacturing locations and outsourced operations. Version 4.5 augments the Platform’s configurability and usability to allow users to quickly adopt the solution with minimal training – even where complex manufacturing and processes span discrete, batch and hybrid operations.
Customers adopting the Camstar Enterprise Platform have quickly achieved dramatic results. A top life sciences manufacturer using Camstar ManufacturingTM in its discrete manufacturing area recently deployed Camstar Weigh and DispenseTM 4.5 to standardize on the Camstar Enterprise Platform across its batch reagent and discrete operations. The company reports that full traceability from finished product back to raw material enables easier root cause analysis across multiple batches and devices.
A leading global high-tech manufacturer that expanded its Camstar Manufacturing solution with Camstar QualityTM completed the deployment 12 weeks from start to finish. As a result, the company reports it has increased output while decreasing the rate of occurrence of quality incidents.
“The new release is a leap forward toward Camstar’s strategic vision of a comprehensive platform to Advance Product Quality for the Enterprise,” said Karim Lokas, Vice President of Product Strategy and Marketing for Camstar. “The high level of excitement by new and existing customers who plan to deploy 4.5 underscores the value Camstar is delivering through its continuous investment in R&D. The enterprise-caliber technology and usability make it possible for leading manufacturers to quickly realize benefits across their global operations.”
