Executive Manufacturing Technologies Inc. (EMT) is the maker of VisualPlantTM, the world's leading, off-the-shelf Manufacturing IntelligenceTM software application. VisualPlant collects real, relevant data directly from all machines on your plant floor and provides the tools to visualize, analyze and report on this data in a web browser. This visualization and analytical layer on top of the plant floor allows plant managers and corporate executives to make faster, more informed decisions to improve operational efficiency, product quality and plant profitability.

VisualPlant is a Manufacturing Intelligence platform designed to simplify the connection to the plant floor, apply your business logic and provide information to any number of users in a web browser. As a platform technology, it also allows for the simple 'snap-in' of 3rd party technologies and Enterprise Application Integration, ensuring open connectivity to the information by anyone that can benefit from it.

Customers include leading automotive manufacturers and suppliers such as DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, Herman Miller, Lear Corporation, Magna International Inc., Visteon, Wescast Industries Inc., and ZF. Most customers find that VisualPlant pays for itself in six to 12 months.

The competitive nature of global manufacturing is driving the requirement for plant and enterprise-wide decision support tools. As a result, leading manufacturers are leveraging existing plant floor infrastructure to close the gap between the plant floor and their business systems. So whether the aim is production monitoring, more effective scheduling and optimization, improved throughput and efficiencies, dramatic quality improvements, reduced downtime, or part tracking and containment, the fundamental requirement is for one mission-critical software platform--VisualPlant--that can perform all of these functions seamlessly.

Last month EMT released VisualPlant 3.2, the latest version of this industry-leading software. Developed through collaboration with some of the world's largest global manufacturers, 3.2 offers significant new visualization and analysis tools, focusing on simplifying the user experience while at the same time enhancing the analysis and reporting functionality.

EMT is a privately held company based in London, Ontario and is a world leader in Manufacturing Intelligence. The company founded the world's first Manufacturing Intelligence Alliance which offers discrete manufacturers one tightly integrated, off-the-shelf manufacturing software platform for the first time. This groundbreaking approach is based on research that indicates the most significant challenge facing global manufacturers is not having a comprehensive perspective of what's happening on the plant floor. The Alliance includes manufacturing technology leaders Siemens ITPS, Netcon, Born Consulting, Tazion Software, and Red Oak Knowledge Systems.
