Smart Start

Configurable, Extensible, Scalable

Smart Solutions begin with a Smart Start.

Smart Start is the straightforward, cost-effective way for manufacturers to begin the journey to digitization by achieving a specific goal – for example, to uncover the cause of variable quality or performance – in a specific process area or production line. The heart of any Smart Start is the Parsec TrakSYS™ platform – a 2020 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Services for configuration, coaching, and training are included, delivered by ACC’s manufacturing intelligence team.

We’re with you every step of the way – from identifying achievable goals to configuring TrakSYS to reflect the specific production or process environment and information, and making sure real-time accurate information is delivered to users in the specific format they need it. We provide training so your team will be empowered with access to information and the tools to exploit the power of digitization.

Every manufacturer’s needs and challenges are unique. Our team can work with you to tailor the best and most effective Smart start for your organization. Or leverage our standard packages that address the most common challenges our customers face:

Management
