for companies who are looking to improve the skill
level of their team while increasing the utilization of
available functionality of their current software
toolset
During this event, we look to help you analyze your
user’s methods of utilizing PTC software tools such as
Creo and Windchill.

ABOUT JR AUTOMATION
Founded in 1980, JR Automation is known for
designing, building, and integrating the most
advanced automation solutions worldwide.
KEY INITIATIVE
Prior to working with EAC, JR Automation knew they needed to
implement additional digital tools to become more efficient. They
set goals to reduce the tie it took builders and engineers to
manage print packages by 80%. They also planned to increase
efficiency by 5% or more during the assembly phase.
RESULTS
In less than a year, JR Automation was quickly able to
obtain the ROI from the use of EAC Productivity Apps. Not
only were they easy to install, train, and utilize on the shop
floor, but they also have provided a cumulative savings
over a series of time, resulting in a total savings benefit of
$1.4 Million.

Why learning first is critical to MTS’s success moving forward
MTS is coming with a history of success and a unique tool chain and business landscape. We don’t just want to talk to your engineering – quotations, sales, quality, operations & manufacturing, aftermarket service,
EAC is coming to the table with best in class product data management experience
PLM is foundational, flexible, capable and big. To tackle a PLM implementation requires planning, insight, and experience to execute.
Find key pain points and optimization opportunities, and then curate a solution set which will fit your business practices. After the assessment is completed you will have a roadmap which puts you on the highway and not headed into a cul-de-sac

While there very well may be effort added to Engineering, keep in mind that much of the tasks they complete today, and time spent looking for things can be transferred from nonvalue added effort and time to value added efforts to support model-based designs.

JRA EAC Apps story outline ignite
Josh sticking with it from Pro-E to now
Shopfloor needs ID’d early during initial workshops (Ross)
Paper books, manually created and managed
Manual redlines that hardly ever made it back to engineering
Ross kept pushing to do this initiative, but always had to wait for foundational implementation needs
EAC Development EAC Productivity Apps in the meantime
JRA loved it, but still wanted specific need, so we engaged in a service project with PDSS
Implementation of a modified version of EAC Apps that saves them million annually
Tablets, digital redline, simplified CR creation, accurate as-bult, etc…
Ross is a hero for JRA. Was a builder, not a PLM Director.
