Asia Pacific – December 16, 2024 – Allied Telesis, a leading provider of hardware and software products that enable customers to build secure, feature-rich, and scalable data exchange solutions, has announced a new partnership with NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and IT services. The partnership will see the integration of NTT DATA’s smart manufacturing system EXC-MES and Allied Telesis’ wireless technologies. This is aimed at creating a smart warehouse environment with seamless connectivity for the manufacturing industry in Taiwan.

Allied Telesis’s AWC and AWC-CB technologies with TQ7403 access points and Vista Manager provides a highly stable wireless LAN, ensuring continuous connectivity for factory staff to access EXC-MES information anytime, anywhere, supporting optimal operations.

Taiwanese manufacturers are embracing smart automation to increase productivity and stay competitive, according to a recent market analysis by The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). The partnership with Allied Telesis will allow organizations in Taiwan to strengthen their production quality, streamline warehouse operations, minimize reliance on manual labor, whilst boosting productivity and business growth.

Focused on building smart factories, the EXC-MES system oversees the complete manufacturing workflow, including inventory management, materials, equipment and quality control. This will establish a unified manufacturing execution system that will provide organizations with the benefits of having perfect integration with SAP and easy integration with other systems using a standardized industry template. Organizations will also gain the advantage of storing diverse data, deploying rapid and flexible modules, and adding judgment logic on demand. The EXC-MES system is also supported on different browsers or on generative AI models, thus providing users with production-related information.
