McLeish Containers and Brown Packaging Implement Plantnode Shoplogix Inc., a leading developer of intelligent manufacturing plant floor productivity software is pleased to announce that McLeish Containers and Brown Packaging, both located in the Greater Toronto Area, have implemented Plantnode., a solution which provides real-time, intelligent mining of shop floor data and machine utilization and predictive/preventative maintenance alerts. McLeish Containers and Brown Packaging are manufacturers of corrugated goods including displays and packaging, and are under the same ownership. Five Plantnode units have been implemented between the two companies; and have been installed on box making equipment: machines that cut, fold, print and fasten corrugated cardboard into various sizes of packing boxes. The companies implemented the Plantnode units as a way of helping improve efficiency on the machines during runs, but also during down time. According to John Coyle, President, "During any day, we often have many short runs, with setup time in between each run. If we can reduce setup time between runs by even one or two minutes, we can greatly improve our efficiency. We're always driving to be more efficient, and have been working through Lean Manufacturing through the last year. I felt that Plantnode would allow us to get to the next level of efficiency." McLeish Containers and Brown Packaging are quality manufacturers of corrugated products including displays and packaging boxes. The companies provide a full range of services to their clients, including CAD-based packaging design and vendor-managed inventory.
